Abstract

Silicon nanotubes (SiNTs) were prepared from silicon monoxide using a hydrothermal method without solid templates. The structure of the products was investigated by transmission electron microscopy, which showed that SiNTs had diamond cubic crystalline structures and capsule-like structures at the tip of them. It was speculated that several hundred nanometer-sized water droplets condensed in the vessel acted as cores for the growth of SiNTs.
