Shape-Controlled Synthesis of ZrO2, Al2O3, and SiO2 Nanotubes Using Carbon Nanofibers as Templates

Abstract: Shape-controlled fabrication process for oxide nanotubes (ZrO2, Al2O3, and SiO2) by using carbon nanofibers templates was developed. By using thick, thin, and coiled carbon nanofibers as templates, shapes of oxide nanotubes could be controlled, that is, a variety of attractive nanotubular materials could be synthesized.

“…3b, d and f), the typical nanofibrous structures of the immobilized samples with uniform morphology are clearly evident, and this unique nanofibrous structure material is well depicted with FE-SEM and TEM measurements in our previous papers [16,18]. Furthermore, the BET surface areas were calculated to be 15 (Table 1). It was worth noting that CNFs template method is a facile and economy fabrication technique for novel material formation on the substrate surface, and the resulting asprepared materials basically duplicate the shapes of CNFs templates.…”

“…Furthermore, their versatility is further highlighted by potential acting as efficient templates for novel material fabrication [15][16][17][18][19][20]. Since CNFs can be easily synthesized through the decomposition of hydrocarbons over metal catalysts.…”

“…Along with cellulosic nanofibers, carbon nanofibers are widely used to template a variety of inorganic nanotubes as well, including ZrO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , and SiO 2 [146], and then removed through calcination at elevated temperatures (1023 K) TiO 2 [147] and SnO 2 nanotubes [147] produced using carbon nanofibers are highly similar to those produced from cellulose templates. Polymeric fibers and other natural organic species can also be used as thermally removable templates.…”

“…The same method is also applicable for the synthesis of ZrO 2 and Al 2 O 3 nanotubes. [74] Peptide amphiphile (PA) nanofibres have been successfully used as templates. The catalytic activities of PAs that contain lysine, histidine, or glutamic acid have been compared and only the PAs that contain lysine or histidine found to be good as catalytic templates.…”
