摘要
Hyperbranched PbSe nanowires (NW) as templates were exploited to produce 3D interconnected hyperbranched silicon dioxide (silica) nanotubes (NT). Hyperbranched PbSe, exhibiting 90° orientation between branches, were grown on Si (100) substrates using vapor transport growth. Zoomed-in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images from different parts of the same hyperbranched PbSe show that middle of each branch are transparent, suggesting that PbSe is etched away. The low-magnification transmission image microscopy (TEM) image of PbSe reveal that the surface of NW is coated with silica and has variation in thickness on different faces, suggesting a shadow effect during coating. The NT is found to retain the orientation of the original PbSe hyperbranched NW, forming 3D interconnected hyperbranched tubes.
