title: Iodide ions control galvanic replacement growth of uniform rhodium nanotubes at room temperature.
abstract: Hollow rhodium nanotubes with uniform and perfect structures have been successfully synthesized through the replacement reaction between Ag nanowires and RhCl3 in saturated NaI solutions at room temperature, and the main effect of iodide ions is found to reduce the redox potential of Ag species and resolve the formed AgI precipitation.
