We employed rutile TiO2 nanoparticles (TiNPs) as cores for coating with vanadium sols to grow the VO2(M) heteroepitaxially as shells. Needle-like structures gradually appeared on the TiNP surfaces after a sintering process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
