Room temperature fabrication of single crystal nanotubes of CaSn(OH)6 through…

Abstract. CaSn(OH)6 nanotubes were fabricated by sonochemical precipitation method at room temperature. A direct rolling process from nanosheets to nanotubes was expected for the synthesis of CaSn(OH)6 nanotubes. The transient CaSn(OH)6 nanosheets are formed as intermediates produced by the spontaneous self-assembly and transformation of amorphous colloid clusters. During the crystallizatio…
