Abstract

In this paper, a novel mild synthetic route was tentatively designed to achieve both shape and dimension-defined nanostructure such as nanorods, nanowires and nanocircles which were fully characterized by AFM and TEM. Bubbles, which are automatically generated when water is mixed with ethanol by a simple shaking, act as a nanoreactor to produce these nanostructures. Fe containing nanowire, nanorod and nanocircle are successfully prepared by using this method. Autogenerated bubble-mediated formation of nanostructures has advantages over conventional methods in terms of short reaction time, low energy consumption and absence of complicated experimental equipments.
