Large-scale synthesis of uniform nanotubes of a nickel complex by a solution chemical route.
Novel layer-rolled nanotubes of a nickel complex have been successfully synthesized by a simple wet chemical method. The nanotubes are assembled by rolling the (111) sheets of [Ni(NH3)6]Cl2 with the assistance of a polymer. The remarkable uniformity and high yields of the nickel complex nanotubes point to future applications in various fields of nanotechnology.
