Nanowires are major building components for nanotechnology. The growth and the assembly of nanowires are often complicated and expensive, which has impeded practical applications of such nanotechnology. This work discloses a Vapor-Defect-Solid (VDS) mechanism for growth of nanowall networks (NanoNets), by exploring a spontaneous interaction of vapor and defect networks in polycrystalline materials. A kinetic model analysis of the precondition and the characteristics of the VDS growth process is presented. The VDS growth mechanism allows straightforward, fast growth of two-dimensional NanoNets at near room temperature from vapor sources with a very high production yield, and thus holds potential as a general route for large-area production of NanoNets at a reduced cost. The VDS growth mechanism further allows exploration of fundamental knowledge of grain-boundary networks in nanocrystalline materials, and opens new avenues for grain-boundary engineering.
