The sol–gel synthesis of hybrid titania–phenanthroline materials with a binary brookite–rutile structure and outstanding photocatalytic activity under visible light.

This work presents the synthesis of SiC nanowires floating in a gas stream through the vapour-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism using an aerosol of catalyst nanoparticles. These conditions lead to ultrafast growth...

Suspended in the gas phase, 1D inorganic nanoparticles (nanotubes, nanowires) grow to hundreds of microns in a second and can be thus directly assembled into freestanding network materials. The corresponding...
