Abstract
Spindly Mg 5(CO 3) 4(OH) 2·4H 2O nanorods with porous and hollow nanostructures were synthesized in a water-in-oil reverse microemulsion system of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/water/cyclohexane/ n-pentanol. These nanorods were characterized by a number of physical techniques, including powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Comparison experiments showed that fundamental experimental parameters, such as the molar ratio of H 2O to CTAB and the concentration of reactants, were important in the morphological control of Mg 5(CO 3) 4(OH) 2·4H 2O nanostructures. The potential applications of the as-synthesized Mg 5(CO 3) 4(OH) 2·4H 2O nanorods in water treatment were also investigated.
