Stability of nanomaterials during their life cycle is a crucial problem of modern nanoscience. In order to understand the processes, which are going in the nanostructures, the comprehensive study of the influence of media
with different acidity on the nickel nanotubes morphology and structure was carried out. On the base of the
analysis of nanotubes characteristics, sequential evolution of degradation stages involving the surface passivation, formation of point defects, pitting and destruction of nanotubes walls was determined. The results are of
importance for the wide range of potential nickel nanostructures applications, which are associated with their
using in real-life conditions. To improve Ni nanostructures stability, the possible ways of surface protections
from the aggressive environment effect and the routes of nanostructures covering with gold, organosilicon
compounds and polymer coatings were considered. Demonstrated approaches for nanostructures covering
provide an opportunity of surface functionalization for attaching of different molecules. It is useful for targeted
delivery of drugs and genes, biodetection, bioseparation and catalysis application.
