Templating effect of hydrogen-passivated silicon nanowires in the production of hydrocarbon nanotubes and nanoonions via sonochemical reactions with common organic solvents under ambient conditions.
A new type of well-structured, hydrocarbon nanomaterial including nanotubes and onions, with interlayer spacing ranging from 3.4 to 5.8 A, was discovered by reacting SiNWs with common organic solvents in a laboratory sonicator under ambient conditions (room temperature and atmospheric pressure).
