Abstract:

Uniform goethite nanotubes were synthesized from the reaction of hydrazine with Fe(III)-oleate complex immobilized in reverse micelles. The nanotubes have interesting parallelogram cross section with uniform edge dimension of as small as 7 nm. The edge dimensions and lengths of the nanotubes were easily controlled by varying the reaction conditions.
