A galvanic replacement reaction has been successfully applied to prepare CuPd and CuPt bimetallic nanotubes. The nanotubes were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning (SEM) combined with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), diffraction (XRD) techniques. Ultralong, single crystalline copper nanowires (NWs) a diameter of ∼64 nm length several micrometers used as template material. By controlling the amount noble metal salt added, different compositions...

We discuss the formation mechanism of titania nanotubes synthesized by hydrothermal method. On basis a comprehensive analysis TEM, HRTEM, FT-Raman, and N2 adsorption data, we point out some major shortcomings currently accepted trititanate sheet rollup mechanism. suggest that novel mechanism, oriented nanotube crystal growth from nanoloop seeds, can explain experimental findings better than ones proposed so far.

Titanate nanowires were synthesized through the hydrothermal synthesis route (10 M NaOH, 130 °C) from anatase in a rotating autoclave. A combined TEM, SEM, XRD, FT−Raman, and N2 adsorption investigation of reaction products as function time revealed that 60−150 nm wide ∼5 μm long are fact formed by merging self-assembled nanotube bundles. The able to further self-assemble into longer than 30 long, dense "superbundles" if is allowed run enough. We propose spontaneous arrangement could be...
