Synthesis and characterization of single-crystalline alkali titanate nanowires

J Am Chem Soc. 2005 Aug 24;127(33):11584-5. doi: 10.1021/ja0519841.

Abstract

A simple, one-step method has been utilized to synthesize functional ternary alkali titanate nanowires of single crystallinity. Nanostructural characterization shows that the nanowires are Na2Ti6O13 with [010] growth direction and KTi8O16.5 with [001] growth direction.
