  • Title: Fabrication of gold nanotubes from removable MgO nanowires templates.
    Author: Kim HW, Lee JW, Kebede MA, Kim HS, Srinivasa B, Kong MH, Lee C.
    Journal: J Nanosci Nanotechnol; 2008 Nov; 8(11):5715-9. PubMed ID: 19198294.
    Abstract:
    We have prepared MgO/Au core-shell nanowires, subsequently demonstrating the fabrication of Au nanotubes by using MgO nanowires as a sacrificial template. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. MgO nanowires were coated with a conformal layer of Au via sputtering. By etching away the MgO core in aqueous (NH3)2SO4 solution, hollow nanotube-like structures of Au were readily obtained. This approach offers a potentially useful route for the fabrication of a variety of hollow metallic structures.
