Synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles using carbon nanotubes as templates
The filling of carbon nanotubes with copper oxide via wet chemical techniques is presented. Crystalline copper oxide nanoparticles, mostly shaped like bamboo shoots, with diameters in the range of ca. 20-90 nm and length of 250-700 nm, have been prepared by templating with carbon nanotubes.
