Abstract

Novel penniform superstructures of BaWO4 nanowires have been successfully synthesized in catanionic reverse micelles by using a double-hydrophilic block copolymer as the directing agent. This synthetic method is very simple, mild, and controllable, and it provides a novel method for direct solution-growth of hierarchical nanostructures based on inorganic nanowires.
