Synthesis of MoO3nanotubes by thermal mesostructural transition of spherical triblock copolymer micelle templates

Abstract

Here we report a new method of synthesizing one-dimensional metal oxide nanotubes (MoO3) via thermal mesostructural transition of spherical micelle templates. This nanotube formation is realized by entanglement of adjacent spherical core–shell nanoparticles templated from block copolymer micelles.
