Abstract

In this paper, we successfully synthesize Fe(OH)3nanotubes involving the Kirkendall effect. Depending on the calcination conditions, both haematite and magnetitenanotubes are produced. This approach also provides a new synthetic alternative to nanotubes of nonlamellar-structured materials. The as-synthesized magnetitenanotubes have an application as a magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent.
