Abstract

The characterizations of 1D mesoporous inorganic nanostructures are critical for correlating their structure and chemical/physical performance. In terms of 1D mesoporous inorganic nanostructures, they are often investigated based on a variety of characterization techniques, mainly including electron microscopy, X-ray scattering, surface properties, Raman spectrum, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and so on. In this chapter, we mainly focus on the representative characterization methods of the 1D as well as the mesoporous structure, with respect to the fact that the other characterizations are overlapped with those used in other materials.
