Abstract

Metal and semimetal nanotube-nanowire heterojunction arrays have been achieved by sequential electrochemical-deposition inside the nanochannels of anodic aluminium oxide template with a layer of Au thin enough to leave the pores open.

Discussions

• "what should we label these copper nanotubes?" "well, the symbol for copper is Cu, 'nano' is N, and 'tubes' is T" "let's go with CuNTs then. great work team" doi.org/10.1039/b614... (visual abstract) [bsky, 191 points, 2 comments]
• There is also this gem: doi.org/10.1039/B614... They also made Bismuth nanotubes! [bsky, 0 points, 0 comments]
