titanium dioxide is one kind of important materials, which has been extensively investigated because of its unique electronic and optical properties. a large number of efforts have been made to synthesize tio2 materials with different methods. in this review paper, we summarize the synthesis pathways, morphology, as well as crystallization of the nanostructured tio2. in addition, we also mentio...

Nanostructured materials have been successfully produced by electrodeposition into Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) templates. Electron microscopy techniques have been used for nanoscale characterization. The structure, dimensions and chemistry of individual nanostructured materials were analyzed using SEM and TEM microscopy

Due to the similar chemical properties to the inorganic component in calcified tissues, synthetic calcium phosphate has been considered as ideal biomaterials with excellent biocompatibility. Nanostructured calcium phosphate materials play an important role in the formation of hard tissues in nature. It is reported that calcium phosphates materials in nano-size can mimic the dimensions of consti...

Hollow nanostructured anode materials lie at the heart of research relating to Li-ion batteries, which require high capacity, high rate capability, and high safety. The higher capacity and higher rate capability for hollow nanostructured anode materials than that for the bulk counterparts can be attributed to their higher surface area, shorter path length for Li(+) transport, and more freedom f...

The detection of photons underpins imaging, spectroscopy, fibre-optic communications and time-gated distance measurements. Nanostructured materials are attractive for detection applications because they can be integrated with conventional silicon electronics and flexible, large-area substrates, and can be processed from the solution phase using established techniques such as spin casting, spray...
