Abstract EN
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) synthesized by spray pyrolysis were decorated with cobalt oxide nanoparticles using a simple synthesis route.
This wet chemistry method yielded nanoparticles randomly anchored to the surface of the nanotubes by decomposition of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate diluted in acetone.
Electron microscopy analysis indicated that dispersed particles were formed on the MWCNTs walls.
The average size increased with the increasing concentration of cobalt nitrate in acetone in the precursor mixture.
TEM images indicated that nanoparticles were strongly attached to the tube walls.
The Raman spectroscopy results suggested that the MWCNT structure was slightly damaged after the nanoparticle growth.
