Fabrication of high-aspect-ratio Prussian blue nanotubes using a porous alumina template

Prussian blue nanotubes were fabricated by using a sequential deposition technique inside the 60-nm well-ordered pores of anodic alumina. By varying the deposition parameters and the dimensions of the template, we could tailor the length and the outer as well as the inner diameter of the tubes. The nanotubes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD).
