Large-scale template-assisted growth of LiNbO3 one-dimensional nanostructures for nano-sensors

Integration of Erbium‐Doped Lithium Niobate Microtubes into Ordered Macroporous Silicon

“…However, conventional approaches to move functional materials into the pores are mainly based on the conversion of precursors, [16][17][18] and the tubes thus obtained are grainy and of poor mechanical stability. Moreover, the controlled incorporation of dopants, and control over the stoichiometry of the wall material, is difficult to achieve.…”

Preparation and low-temperature gas-sensing properties of SnO2 ultra-fine fibers fabricated by a centrifugal spinning process

“…Up to now, numerous methods, such as the hydrothermal method [6], chemical vapor deposition [7], template-assisted approach [8], and electrospinning [9] have been adopted to synthesize SnO 2 with 1D nanostructure. Among them, the electrospinning technique was used most commonly.…”

Niobates Nanowires: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications

“…Different synthesis routes have been explored to obtain 0D nanoparticles or nanoflakes from alkaline niobates such as mechano-chemical milling (Kong et al, 2008;Schwesyg et al, 2007), nonaqueous route (Niederberger et al, 2004), sol-gel method (L. H. Wang et al, 2007) or hydrothermal route . Almost simultaneously, anisotropic alkaline niobates 1D structure were synthesized with various methods such as template assisted pyrolysis resulting in regular arrays of tubes (Zhao et al, 2005), solution-phase synthesis resulting in rod-like structures (Wood et al, 2008), or hydrothermal route giving free-standing nanowires with high aspect ratio (Magrez et al, 2006). Up to now, the nanomaterials properties have been well characterized using standard materials sciences methods like X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron (SEM) or transmission electron (TEM) microscopy.…”
