Development of a dry process for coating metal nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes

Metal nanoparticles such as platinum (Pt) and gold (Au) decorated CNTs have been thoroughly investigated as electrode of fuel cells and chemical and biological sensors. In these applications, the size and the density of nanoparticles are very important, because the catalyst activation depends on the...

description Metal nanoparticles such as platinum (Pt) and gold (Au) decorated CNTs have been thoroughly investigated as electrode of fuel cells and chemical and biological sensors.

We focused on a dry processing without solutions and attempted to fabricate metal nanoparticles on CNTs by sputtering. In this study, the effect of the crystallinity of CNTs surface on the morphology of Pt film deposited by sputtering process was investigated. To control the crystallinity of CNTs surface, the Ar plasma irradiation was applied to CNTs and the crystallinity of CNTs surface was analyzed by Raman spectroscopy.
