ABSTRACTBramble-like mesostructured nickel oxide/surfactant fibers were synthesized by using anionic surfactants (sodium dodecylsulfonate or sodium dodecylsulfate: SDS) as templates, and nickel salts as inorganic precursors, via the “S-I+” route in alkaline condition. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA) techniques. Such form of mesostructure nickel oxide is found for the first time and is believed to have potential applications in catalysis, host-guest chemistry, and electrochemical devices.
