Abstract

Nanorods of several oxides, with diameters in the range of 10–200 nm and lengths upto a few microns, have been prepared by templating against carbon nanotubes. The oxides include V₂O₅, WO₃, MoO₃ and Sb₂O₅ as well as metallic MoO₂, RuO₂ and IrO₂. The nanorods tend to be single-crystalline structures. Nanotube structures have also been obtained in MoO₃ and RuO₂.
