  • Abstract
    Crystalline nanostrips of AlOOH have been prepared at 240 C through a fast route. Powder X-ray diffraction studies reveal that the as-prepared nanostrips are highly crystalline in nature and by morphological investigations using FESEM, it was revealed that the strips have average length of 210 nm and width of 60 20 nm. A plausible theory is proposed which reveals the growth mechanism of nanostrips.
