• highly crystalline iron(0) nanoparticles. When these nanoparticles were exposed to air at room temperature, a thin layer of Fe3O4 formed due to the oxidation of the nanoparticle surface, thus, core/shell Fe/Fe3O4 nanoparticles were constructed. The introduction of the Fe3O4 shell provides easy surface

In this review paper, recent developments in surface functionalization of an aluminosilicate nanotube, “imogolite”, are introduced. The functionalization processes are based on the robust affinity between phosphate
