An ambient solution-state method for making uniform nanobrushes composed of oriented 1D silver nanowires (NWs) with aspect ratios of 10(2) -10(4) is reported. These structures are grown over cm(2) areas on conducting surfaces. Assemblies of NWs form uniform nanobrush structures, which can capture micrometer-sized objects, such as bacteria and particulate matter. Variation in composition produces unique structures with catalytic properties.
