Abstract

The template method has been used to prepare concentric-tubular composite microstructures. These composite structures consist of an outer tubule composed of one material encapsulating concentric inner tubules composed of other materials. Tubular composites of this type consisting of metals, semiconductors, polymers, and Li-ion intercalation materials have been prepared. The chemical strategies used to prepared these composite structures include electroless plating of Au, electropolymerization of electronically conductive and insulating polymers, electrodeposition of metals and semiconductors, and sol-gel synthesis.
