Title: | Nanofabrication of highly ordered, tunable metallic mesostructures via quasi-hard-templating of lyotropic liquid crystals | Authors: | Zhang, X Lu, W Dai, J Bourgeois, L Yao, J Wang, H Friend, JR Zhao, D MacFarlane, DR |
Issue Date: | 2014 | Source: | Scientific reports, 11 2014, v. 4, no. , p. 1-5 | Abstract: | The synthesis of metal frameworks perforated with nanotunnels is a challenge because metals have high surface energies that favor low surface area structures; traditional liquid-crystal templating techniques cannot achieve the synthetic control required. We report a synthetic strategy to fabricate metal nanomaterials with highly ordered, tunable mesostructures in confined systems based on a new quasi-hard-templating liquid-crystals mechanism. The resulting platinum nanowires exhibit long range two-dimensional hexagonally ordered mesopore structures. In addition, single crystalline hexagonal mesoporous platinum nanowires with dominant {110} facets have been synthesized. Finally, we demonstrate that the mesostructures of metal nanomaterials can be tuned from hexagonal to lamellar mesostructures. | Publisher: | Nature Publishing Group | Journal: | Scientific reports | EISSN: | 2045-2322 | DOI: | 10.1038/srep07420 | Rights: | This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
