Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (NPs)-deposited tungstosilicate (Ag/SiW(12)/Ag) microtubes were obtained by a redox reaction between the heteropoly blue microtubes and Ag(+) ions. The Ag/SiW(12)/Ag microtubes were characterized by FT-IR and XPS spectroscopy. Their morphology was examined by ESEM-FEG, showing that the microtubes kept their original microtubular morphology well after reacting with Ag(+) ions and the silver NPs exhibited regular spherical morphology. The current-voltage properties of the Ag/SiW(12)/Ag microtubes were also briefly investigated.
