title: A facile preparation of mullite [Al2(Al(2.8)Si(1.2))O(9.6)] nanowires by B2O3-doped molten salts synthesis.
abstract: Al-rich single-crystal mullite [Al(2)(Al(2.8)Si(1.2))O(9.6)] nanowires were prepared by B(2)O(3)-doped molten salts synthesis. The nanowires have diameters in the range 30-50 nm and typical lengths of 1 microm. The mullite nanowires were well dispersed and facile to obtain.
