The titanate via silver ion exchange to get Ag-titanate. Then use sodium borohydride to reduce the silver ion onto the titanate. The original morphology is nanotube, but after the reduction, the morphology becomes nanosheet. Why is there such a big change that adds the reduction agent?
Why do you think you have a nano sheet? It looks much thicker to me.
My original morphology is 1-D nanostructure (nanotube), but after adding the NaBH4 to reduce the silver ion. The morphology is changed from 1-D to 2-D structure.
It would be better to share a picture with scale bar. I don't see any nanosheets on the picture. Do you have some pictures of nanotubes?
My material in the SEM image is too small to determine, but the morphology is 1-D structure.
I suspect something went wrong with specimen preparation of for your first picture. It looks flattened by some mechanical force. Second picture is much more convincing.
Thanks Vladimir Dusevich . I have a problem. Does a mechanical force really destroy the material structure? Because my material has a problem of reunion, I will grind the material before SEM. Will this step cause my material to deform?
