Abstract

In this project metallic Tellurium nanowires will be used initially as templating system to synthesize the corresponding tubular hybrid silica (THS) replicas based on bridged silsesquioxanes (BS) aiming at obtaining shape-controlled and functional materials for optical and depollution applications.
