Upon etching silica mesoporous CdS nanowire arrays were produced with a yield as high as 93 wt . The nanowire arrays were characterized by XRD N2 adsorption TEM and SEM. The results show that the CdS products replicated from the mesoporous silica SBA-15 hard template possess highly ordered hexagonal mesostructure and fiber-like morphology analogous to the mother template. The current-voltage characteristics of CdS nanoarrays are strongly nonlinear and asymmetrical showing rectifying diode-like behavior. Keywords Nanomaterials CdS Nanowire arrays SBA-15 Rectification Introduction Efforts in nanomaterials have rapidly expanded into the assembly of well-ordered two- and or three-dimensional 2D and or 3D 3D superstructures provide possibilities to probe brand-new properties and applications due to the spatial orientation and arrangement of the nanocrystals 1-3 . Different methods have been used to fabricate preferentially oriented nanowire arrays such as electrodeposition 4-6 vapor-liquid-solid VLS 7 8 thermal evaporation 9-11 lithography 12 13 AAO 14 15 or mesoporous silica SBA-15 16 -assisted N.

In these methods SBA-15 template shows a promising technique in controlling the preferential orientation without changing the nanowire morphology and it has been explored for synthesis of Ag Au Pt Ph and Si nanowires 17 18 .
