Abstract:The formation of nanotubes from inorganic materials with layered structures is described, and nonlayered materials from elements, oxides, nitrides etc., can also be synthesized. Complex misfit layered compounds, which have an inherent driving force to roll into tubular structures, have also been realized in nanotubular form. Progress in the synthesis of nanotubes from various inorganic compounds starting from elements, metal chalcogenides, pnictides, carbides, oxides and complex misfit layered compounds is dis… Show more
