A simple approach for the synthesis of large quantities of silicon dioxide nanotubes with silver in inner wall was developed via sol-gel process at room temperature. Silver nitrate acted simultaneously as a template precursor and silver source during the process. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images show that the nanotubes are 0.5–10 μm in length, and 200 nm in width. Energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy analysis results revealed the existence of S, Si, O, C and Ag in silicon dioxide nanotube. UV-Vis spectroscopy further revealed the existence of Ag by exhibiting the typical surface plasmon absorption maximum at 405 nm..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
