A facile one‐step sacrificial templating solution route for the large‐scale synthesis of a new kind of long Ag 2 SiO 3 /SiO 2 composite nanotube has been achieved using silver molybdate nanowires (see Figure, left) as a sacrificial template at ambient temperature. In‐situ embedding of Ag 2 SiO 3 nanoparticles on the backbone (see Figure, right) is demonstrated, and seems a promising strategy in order to endow the silica nanotubes with new properties.
