Abstract

Precise phase-transformation can facilitate control of the properties of various materials, while an organic coating surrounding inorganic materials can yield useful characteristics. Herein, we demonstrate facile, selective manipulation of micro-nanostructured bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) for phase transformation from microflower-like ?-Bi2O3 to micropill-like ?-Bi2O3, with carbon-coating layer deposition, using structure-guided combustion waves (SGCWs). Microflower-like ?-Bi2O3 are synthesized as core materials and nitrocellulose is coated on their surfaces for the formation of core-shell hybrid structures of Bi2O3 and chemical fuel. The SGCWs, which propagate along the core-material and fuel interfaces, apply high thermal energy (550
