Title: Inorganic nanotubes and fullerene-like nanoparticles: Progress report

Abstract

This presentation is aimed at demonstrating the progress with the high-temperature synthesis and characterization of new inorganic nanotubes (INT) and fullerene-like (IF) nanoparticles (NP) from 2-D layered compounds. A few classes of new IF/INT synthesized in our laboratory will be discussed: metal nanoparticles sheathed with a monolayer of MoS₂(WS₂), i.e. Au@ML-MoS₂; nanotubes from misfit layered compounds- such as SrCoO₂-CoO₂; and Nb(Re) doped IF-MoS₂ nanoparticles. Some intriguing mechanical (capillary suction of water), optical (plasmonic) and transport (superconductivity) properties of IF/INT will be discussed. Several new applications will be described as well.
