Description
Summary:Electrically conducting nanoparticle nanotubes (NPNTs) with a high surface area are obtained by a novel procedure. The assembly of gold nanoparticles on the pore walls of surface‐modified nanoporous alumina membrane templates under flow conditions is accompanied by spontaneous room‐temperature coalescence of the bound nanoparticles, which results, after membrane dissolution, in self‐sustained NPNTs that preserve the nanoparticle morphology (see picture).
