title: Facile synthesis of noble metal nanotubes by using ZnO nanowires as sacrificial scaffolds and their electrocatalytic properties.
abstract: Pt and Pd nanotubes could be prepared rapidly with high yields and good uniformity through the reduction of metal precursors in the presence of ZnO nanowires as inexpensive sacrificial templates. The prepared nanotubes showed efficient electrocatalytic properties toward alcohol oxidation.
