Article Description

Single-crystal gibbsite nanorods with a high aspect ratio were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. Characterizations by HRTEM, SAED, and XRD revealed that the nanorods prefer to grow along the c-axis. The nanorods can be easily transformed to χ-alumina by calcination at 250 °C, while the nanorod morphology is well-maintained. HRTEM indicates that the χ-alumina nanorod possesses a single-crystal-like structure formed by orientated connection of crystalline nanodomains. Altering the synthetic procedure will lead to alumina nanostructures with a different phase structure and morphology, such as alumina nanotubes. © 2008 American Chemical Society.
