Large-scale uniform Ag microtubes with high length diameter
ratios have been first successfully synthesized by a facile approach,
using lowcost super fine glass fibers as templates. The samples
were characterized by SEM and XRD. The investigations showed
that calcining or adding of PEG-1000 and alcohol could greatly
improve the mechanical strength of the sample. Especially
the products exhibited favorable catalytic properties during the
degradation of Rhodamine B by NaBH4.
