Abstract:
We report a versatile platform for the synthesis of shape-tunable nanosilica based on a thermally induced deformable template with diverse morphologies ranging from spheres, horns, ultrathin nanosheets, and rings to belts. This was realized by creating soft templates from a pair of anionic/cationic surfactants.
