Tin oxide nanoparticle-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes by the vapor phase method
The vapor phase method was used to prepare tin oxide (SnO2)-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). SnO2 nanoparticles were uniformly decorated on the outer surface of MWNTs. At the same time, parts of the MWNTs can be filled with SnO2 nanoparticles. This simple technique is of interest for a distinct reacting process and efficiency.
