This means that since for the cubic system surface energy a and c are equal (since they are symmetric) a=c (true!)

This gives us a great opportunity.If we can modify the surface energies of certain lattice planes for example through preferential attachment of surface active compounds we can influence the surface energy ratio and thereby influence the shape!
How about under an agglomerated state? (which configuration has the minimum surface energy?)

Leads to the formation of platelets
Leads to rods!

Agglomerates of nanorods reduce energy by increasing aspect ratio.
While nanoplates reduce energy by decreasing aspect ratio
Hence we have control: using surface active molecules carefully selected to modify the surface energies we can form rods or plates (even for cubic materials(e.g. gold)).

What about layered structuresWhat about layered structures
Imagine layers held together by van der Waals forces
At circumference we have unsatisfied (dangling) bonds.
These have negligible effects for large plates
For nano it is another story!!
The like to satisfy them by curling to make cylinders or tubes!
Hence compounds crystallizing in layered structure have tendency to form nanotubes!
![Page 12: CHAPTER 7 (Chapter 10 in text) Nanotubes, Nanorods and Nanoplates](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56812bb9550346895d8ffb77/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
If no time is allowed to form tubes! Other things happen, they simply join together! As seen in figure 10.8!
![Page 13: CHAPTER 7 (Chapter 10 in text) Nanotubes, Nanorods and Nanoplates](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56812bb9550346895d8ffb77/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
One-dimensional crystalsNanotubes can also be produced by selecting compounds that crystallize only in one dimension. Not a lot of them!!
e.g. silicates called ALLOPHANES (short range ordered aluminosilicates)
yx OHSiOOAl )()( 2232
1.3<x<2, 2.5<y<3
Crystallize as tubes (2-5nm dia.)
Here aluminum can be substituted by Fe, Mg, Mn
Influence color and diameter

Si/Al can adjust diameter

Functionalization

Nanostructures related to compounds with layered structuresNanostructures related to compounds with layered structures
As we said reducing energy by generating tubes (e.g. graphite, boron nitride, Sulphides)
CARBON NANOTUBESCARBON NANOTUBES
Lets first talk about graphite and fullerenes
Graphite crystallizes in layered Graphite crystallizes in layered hexagonal structures hexagonal structures (C covalently bonded within each layer)(C covalently bonded within each layer)
This satisfies only three electrons but what about the fourth (delocalized across layer)
Hence graphite electrical conductor parallel to layers and insulator perpendicular to it.
![Page 17: CHAPTER 7 (Chapter 10 in text) Nanotubes, Nanorods and Nanoplates](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56812bb9550346895d8ffb77/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Within layer very strong (covalent), across very weak van der Waals forces, hence can cleave to form individual layers (called graphenes) 2D structures
Fullerenes are combination of hexagons and pentagons
When these gaps close you get 3D structures
The combination of a large number of these structures leads to spherical shapes (polyeders)
![Page 18: CHAPTER 7 (Chapter 10 in text) Nanotubes, Nanorods and Nanoplates](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56812bb9550346895d8ffb77/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Can attach molecules to Fullerene surfaces
They also appear in many layers as aggregates (nested fullerenes) or onion molecules.
Comprising only of pentagons

Nanotubes closed with fullerene halves/caps

Due to stiffness and small diameter= ideal for use as tips scanning force or scanning tunneling microscopes
![Page 26: CHAPTER 7 (Chapter 10 in text) Nanotubes, Nanorods and Nanoplates](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56812bb9550346895d8ffb77/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Nanotubes can make great electron emitters (usually needs sharp tips hence needing less operating voltage). Electric field at tip controls electron fields Emission.
One would think to use SWCNT but so far practically easier (availability) to use MWCNTs
Made by removing caps through oxidizing environment
Current density=5.7x1010A/m2
Assuming 1.5nm dia.

They can be superior to tungsten tips (more stable, better oxidation resistance)

Nanotubes and nanorods from non-carbon materials
In principle, materials crystallizing in layered structures can form nanotubes and fullerene type structures
Initially MoS2, WS2 then selenides of Mo and Tungsten
Layered structures with each layer Consisting of 3 sub-layers
X-Me-X
Nonmetallic ionmetal
Hence MoS2 and WS2 are used as solid lubricants like graphite (due to similar type bonding within layers and between layers)
BN is another option (non conductive though)
