Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)—hollow microtubules of graphitic carbon—possess unique
physical properties by themselves; meanwhile, their empty cylindrical cores also offer the …

Combining objects with diverse properties has often the advantage of giving rise to novel
functionalities. In this scenario, metal-filled and decorated carbon nanotubes (m-CNTs) …

Rambutan-like heterostructures consisting of Ni microspheres coated with oriented multiwall
carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were synthesized by the one-pot thermal decomposition of a …

First, CNTs are ideal supporting materials for metal nanoparticle catalysts in electrochemical
and fuel cells,[6] and represent also a template for the attachment of metal nanoparticles or …

Co nanoparticles were assembled on the surface of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) to prepare
one-dimensional magnetic Co-HNTs via electroless deposition. The samples were …

In this work, we propose a new liquid refractive index (RI) sensor based on one-dimensional
(1D) regular array of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for sensing oil derivatives …

The physical properties of small rhodium clusters, Rh n, have been in debate due to the
shortcomings of density functional theory (DFT). To help in the solution of those problems …
