I fabricated nanowires and after complete dissolving of template, I need to obtain the dried nanowires. Can anyone help me to achieve this process?
If they are in aqueous solution you can freeze-dry. If not, you can remove gradually the solvent by water with centrifugation and when reach 100 % water and after freeze-dry it.
However I agree with the previous comments that the information available is too low to give conclusive answers.
Hi, Which element(s) is constituent the wires, and what is the chemical compound of washing solution ?
1. Filteration paper or,
2. use a magnet to separate it from the solution.
If you could kindly provide some further details, it might be possible to provide some insights or advice. I don't know if photos can be attached, if available? What template? What type of nanowires--composition, approximate size?

Dear Rana
Self-catalytic solution for single-crystal nanowire and nanotube growth
This is useful paper
Vast majority of nanowires is grown by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), metal-organic CVD (MOCVD), or the laser ablation method via the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) route. Others are grown via the oxide-assisted route. In this investigation a self-catalytic synthesis route based on VLS formalism and suitable for the CVD, MBE, MOCVD, or the laser ablation method has been described. Various issues pertaining to growth kinetics, nanowire alignment, diameter distribution, and nanotube formation have been addressed. The strength of the self-catalytic route has been highlighted. As this route does not make use of foreign element catalytic agents to mediate the synthesis, it suffers from difficulties. Attempts have been made to elucidate means to overcome these difficulties. Attempts have also been made to explain the means to separate the nanowires thus produced from the substrate/scaffold, and to control their physicochemical characteristics.
