摘要

On page 6111, X. Chen and co-workers report for the first time a protocol to grow ultralong TiO2-based nanotubes from tiny TiO2 nanoparticles by a stirring hydrothermal method. The study confirms that the mechanical-force-driven stirring process is the reason for the lengthening of the nanotubes. This protocol to synthesize elongated nanostructures can be extended to other nanostructured systems, opening up new opportunities for manufacturing advanced functional materials for high-performance energy-storage devices.
