Springs, Rings, and Spirals of Rutile-Structured Tin Oxide Nanobelts

Morphological Evolution of (NH4)0.5V2O5·mH2O Fibers into Belts, Triangles, and Rings

“…12À17 Recently, nanorings/springs/helical structures for a number of inorganic materials such as CuO, 18 SnO 2 , 19 InGaN, 20 R-Ga 2 O 3 , 21 InP nanosprings, 22 PbSe, 23 BN, 24 AlN, 25 ZnO, 26À29 gold, 30 Zn 2 SnO 4 , 31 amorphous SiO 2 , 32 SiC nanosprings, 33 and carbon nanotube coils 34 have been reported. To the best of our knowledge, (NH 4 ) 0.5 V 2 O 5 3 mH 2 O ring/triangle and oval forms have not been reported so far.…”

Nanofabrication of Metal Oxide Patterns Using Self-Assembled Monolayers

“…106 and so on. Various kinds of tin oxide nano-structures such as nano-fibers 107 , nano-wires 108,109 , nano-belts 110 , nano-tubes 111 , nano-rods 112,113 , spirals, nano-rings 114 , zigzag nano-belts 115 , grains 116 , flakes 116 , plates 116 , meshes 117 and columnar thin films 118 were reported. Surface coating of substrates with tin oxide nano-structures are strongly required for the future devices.…”

Vanadium oxide nanorings: Facile synthesis, formation mechanism and electrochemical properties

“…Increasing attention is being nowadays paid to ring [27][28][29][30][31][32] like nanomaterials because of their size, special morphology-related properties and potential nanoscale applications [31]. This paper reports on the synthesis and the electrochemical performance of V2O5 nanorings and Na0.3V2O5 nanoribbons obtained under hydrothermal conditions.…”
