Fig. 14 a–h shows the FE-SEM micrographs and the corresponding EDS spectra of TNT and
Zr-TNT (Reprinted with permission from [104])
Cluster like particles was observed over the TNT surface (Fig. 14e) after the
treatment with ZrOCl 2 solution. The original tubular structure of TNT (Fig. 14f) was
retained even after the incorporation of Zr ions, however, a small decrease (11 ±
5 nm) in the diameter was observed. The average pore diameter, wall thickness and
tube length of Zr-TNT were found to be 99 ± 5 nm, 25 ± 3 nm and 2.3 ± 0.2 μm
