Bubble‐templated and flow‐controlled synthesis of macroscopic silica tubes supporting zinc oxide nanostructures

Bubble‐templated and flow‐controlled synthesis of macroscopic silica tubes supporting zinc oxide nanostructures
Bubble‐templated and flow‐controlled synthesis of macroscopic silica tubes supporting zinc oxide nanostructures
Graphical Abstract
Macrotubes with nanostructures are formed at rates of cm s−1 when aqueous zinc sulfate is injected into a silicate solution and a gas bubble is pinned to the reaction zone. Straight, long (>10 cm), and hollow structures with diameters of 500 μm can be grown, which upon heating are luminescent, and can photodegrade rhodamine B (RhB). The presence of ZnO on the interior surface is confirmed by electron and X-ray diffraction.
