چکیده
Hierarchically macro-/mesoporous titanate tubular structures (HTT) self-assembled by nanotubes and nanosheets were fabricated by hydrothermal treatment of titanate glycolate rods in 0.1 M NaOH aqueous solution. Double-layered dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) composed of a P25 nanoparticle (NP) underlayer and a tubular TiO(2) overlayer demonstrated an enhanced photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 6.2%.

Self-assembled Lipid Nanotubes, Nanosheets and Nanopipes
Three N,N’-diacyl-2,6-diaminopyridines were synthesized with a saturated undecanoic acid or an unsaturated undecenoic acid in order to study the effect of the alkyl-chain on the nano architectures. The imaging studies showed that the compound possessing two unsaturated alkyl chains exhibited a tubular structure. On the other hand compound possessing two saturated alkyl chain showed poorly forme...
