Facile synthesis of silica-coated Bi2S3 nanorods and hollow silica nanotubes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Silica coated bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) nanorods have been prepared by a simple coating process. The coating resulted in the improved stability and luminescent intensity of the Bi2S3 nanorods. Hollow silica nanotubes were also obtained by using Bi2S3 nanorods as a removal template. r 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 81.05.Ys; 81.20. n

Template assisted synthesis of silica-coated molecular crystal nanorods: From hydrophobic to hydrophilic nanorods.
We report a method for the preparation of silica-coated molecular crystal nanorods. A sol-gel method was used to make silica nanotubes inside anodized alumina templates. The nanotubes were then loaded with 9-anthracene carboxylic acid (9-AC) and solvent annealed to produce silica-coated organic nanorods. The core-shell structure was confirmed using electron microscopy, and the highly crystallin...
متن کاملSilica-coated bismuth sulfide nanorods as multimodal contrast agents for a non-invasive visualization of the gastrointestinal tract.
Non-invasive and real-time imaging of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is particularly desirable for research and clinical studies of patients with symptoms arising from gastrointestinal diseases. Here, we designed and fabricated silica-coated bismuth sulfide nanorods (Bi2S3@SiO2 NRs) for a non-invasive spatial-temporally imaging of the GI tract. The Bi2S3 NRs were synthesized by a facile solvot...

A new synthesis route to high-quality large mesoporous cubic Ia3d silica is reported, utilizing a triblock copolymer (EO20PO70EO20)-butanol mixture for the structure direction in aqueous solution.
متن کاملControlled synthesis and tunable properties of ultrathin silica nanotubes through spontaneous polycondensation on polyamine fibrils
This paper describes a facile approach to a biomimetic rapid fabrication of ultrathin silica nanotubes with a highly uniform diameter of 10 nm and inner hollow of around 3 nm. The synthesis is carried out through a spontaneous polycondensation of alkoxysilane on polyamine crystalline fibrils that were conveniently produced from the neutralization of a solution of protonated linear polyethylenei...
متن کاملRGD-conjugated silica-coated gold nanorods on the surface of carbon nanotubes for targeted photoacoustic imaging of gastric cancer
Herein, we reported for the first time that RGD-conjugated silica-coated gold nanorods on the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes were successfully used for targeted photoacoustic imaging of in vivo gastric cancer cells. A simple strategy was used to attach covalently silica-coated gold nanorods (sGNRs) onto the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) to fabricate a hybrid nanostruc...
