Size-tunable synthesis of SiO2 nanotubes via a simple in situ template process
Article Abstract:
A new technique to synthesize SiO2 nanotubes with tunable diameters and lengths via a simple in situ template like process by thermal evaporation of SiO, ZnS, and GaN in a vertical induction furnace is presented. It was found that the diameters and lengths of the SiO2 nanotubes can be tuned efficiently only by changing the evaporation temperature and the method can also be used to protect ZnS nanowires from oxidation using SiO2 surface coatings and/or make complex SiO2-based structures on a large scale.

Mechanism of hydrogenation reaction in the Li-Mg-N-H system
Article Abstract:
The mechanism of the hydrogenation reaction from 4Li2NH and Mg3N2 to 8LiH and 3Mg(NH2)2 was investigated in detail. The results suggested that 4i2NH is first hydrogenated into 4LiH and 4LiNH2.
