Among these nanomaterials, due to their unique characteristics and enhanced chemical and physical properties, inorganic nanotubes have been considered one of the most interesting nanostructures. In recent years, important progress has been achieved in the production and study of these nanomaterials, including boron nitride, transition metal dichalcogenide nanotubular structures, misfit-based nanotubes and other hybrid/doped nanotubular objects. This review is devoted to the in-depth analysis of recent studies on the synthesis, atomic structures, properties and applications of inorganic nanotubes and related nanostructures. Particular attention is paid to the growth mechanism of these nanomaterials. This is a crucial point for the challenges ahead related to the mass production of high-quality defect-free nanotubes for a variety of applications. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2019. 000079596 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/785219/EU/Graphene Flagship Core Project 2/GrapheneCore2$$9This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 785219-GrapheneCore2$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/MAT2016-79776-P 000079596 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000079596 590__ $$a6.895$$b2019 000079596 591__ $$aMATERIALS SCIENCE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY$$b50 / 314 = 0.159$$c2019$$dQ1$$eT1 000079596 591__ $$aNANOSCIENCE & NANOTECHNOLOGY$$b25 / 103 = 0.243$$c2019$$dQ1$$eT1 000079596 591__ $$aCHEMISTRY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY$$b28 / 177 = 0.158$$c2019$$dQ1$$eT1 000079596 591__ $$aPHYSICS, APPLIED$$b23 / 154 = 0.149$$c2019$$dQ1$$eT1 000079596 592__ $$a2.18$$b2019 000079596 593__ $$aNanoscience and Nanotechnology$$c2019$$dQ1 000079596 593__ $$aMaterials Science (miscellaneous)$$c2019$$dQ1 000079596 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000079596 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-2071-9093$$aArenal, Raul$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000079596 700__ $$aTenne, Reshef 000079596 7102_ $$12003$$2395$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
