Inorganic nanotubes represent a unique class of nanomaterials in which all atoms are located near the surface. Thus electron flows on nanotubes are confined near the surface. This makes nanotubes attractive for electronic devices, and chemical/biological sensors. In addition, their tubular structures enable nanofluidic and cellular drug delivery devices. In this seminar, controlled growth, properties, and potential applications of a series of inorganic nanotubes will be discussed, in particular, vertically-aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs), boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs), ZnO nanotubes (ZnO NTs), and Si nanotubes (SiNTs).
