title: Chromate nanorods/nanobelts: general synthesis, characterization, and properties.
abstract: A general synthesis route to a family of single-crystal chromate nanorods/nanobelts has been established. The effects of pH and surfactant on phase and morphology of these microcrystalline materials have been investigated. The physical properties of the as-synthesized chromate nanocrystals such as dielectric, electrochemical, UV-vis absorbance, and photoluminescent properties have also been studied. The present general synthesis of various low-dimensional chromate nanomaterials provides useful information on the possible synthesis of other microcrystalline transition metal oxysalts.
