Call it what you like: aggregating?
Under static condition, β-NA could self-assemble into snowflake-like aggregate.
Instead, fibrils comprised a collection of generally aligned, monomers which were self-assembled to form a fibril-like aggregate.
Besides the Li4Ti5O12/Bi/C-L, other Li4Ti5O12/M/C samples were composed of spherical-like aggregate particles.
A magnified image of a single nanobelt in Figure 2f exhibits clearly that the 1D structure is the belt-like aggregate morphology.
In other words, the pod-like aggregate did not simply coexist or was not simply coated with, but constructed by 1D β-FeOOH nanostructures.
Unlike the conventional statistical method for fractal-like aggregate structure determination, ROD is independent of empirical constants based on correlations or numerical simulations.
A novel burger-like aggregate nanostructure assembled from ZnO nanocrystals was synthesized by using a simple aqueous solution method at a low temperature (80 °C).
HRSEM images of Cu/Cu2O NPs revealed that the product which consists of spherical-like particles ((Fig. 1a, b) at RT and 100 °C)) changes to cube-like aggregate decorated with spherical nanoparticles (Fig. 1c at 200 °C).
Varieties of morphologies of ZnO particles have been synthesized with rod-like, hexagonal pyramid-like, truncated hexagonal conical, cauliflower-like, tubular, hourglass-like, flake-like, aggregate, and spherical shapes [7, 8, 9, 10].
The enlarged image (Figure 4e) corresponding to the red dot-dashed rectangular region in Figure 4d clearly showed that the selected developing pod-like aggregate was assembled by 1D β-FeOOH nanowhiskers.
