Porous α-Ni(OH)(2) microflowers are successfully synthesized via a one-step aqueous-phase reaction assisted by block copolymers under mild conditions. The electrochemical measurement demonstrates that the α-Ni(OH)(2) microflowers calcined at 200 °C are capable to deliver a specific capacity of 1551 F

Asbestos (Mg-hydrosilicate; chrysotile) is known to cause pleural diseases, pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancers, via mechanisms strongly depending on diameter-length ratio and possibly metal content. A critical question is whether synthetic hydrosilicate nanotubes (NTs) of short length possess little toxic
