Nanotubes In their Full Paper on page 6084 ff. , X. Han et al. describe the fabrication of hollow Pd nanotubes by using lipid tubules as templates. The wall thicknesses of the nanotubes could be tuned from 77 to 150 nm and they showed good electrochemical catalytic activity toward ethanol. They could lead to important advances in fuel‐cell research, and the method demonstrated here could be extended to form other novel metal nanotubes.
