A new route to obtain metal oxide nanotubes is presented: an inorganic coordination complex precursor containing the metal ions and impregnated into alumina membrane templates yield hollow tubular nanostructures of LaNiO3 by calcination at 600 8C as characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shows that the resulting nanotubes have 200 nm in diameter in good agreement with the template pore. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dark field transmission electron microscopy (DF-TEM) shows that the nanotubes are composed of 3–5 nm crystals with 10–20 nm walls and internal separations. powder X-ray diffraction (XRD).
