A general sonochemical approach to rapid synthesis of 1D single-crystalline MSn(OH)6 (MÂ =Â Ba, Ca, Sr) nanostructures

► We used a facile and quick method-sonochemistry without using any surfactant to rapid synthesize a series of 1D MSn(OH)6 (M = Ba, Ca, Sr) nano-materials. ► We investigated the influences of ultrasound irradiation and the presence of Na2CO3 in the synthetic procedure in detail. ► This approach represents a successful example for the fast construction of inorganic nanostructures in the absence of any surfactant.
