Length-Controlled Synthesis of Calcium Phosphate Nanorod and Nanowire and Application in Intracellular Protein Delivery

Although calcium phosphate based nanomaterials are widely used in various biomedical application, the synthesis of high quality examples of such nanomaterials with controlled size and shape is challenging. Here, we report a single-phase approach for the length-controlled synthesis of calcium phosphate nanorods and nanowires of 2–5 nm diameter and 10–1000 nm length. The synthetic method involves the injection of tetrabutylammonium phosphate into...
