title: Role of boric acid in nickel nanotube electrodeposition: a surface-directed growth mechanism.
abstract: Nickel nanotubes have been synthesized by the popular and versatile method of template-assisted electrodeposition, and a surface-directed growth mechanism based on the adsorption of the nickel-borate complex has been proposed.
