Incorporation Of Nanocrystalline Silver on Carbon Nanotubes byElectrodeposition Technique

摘要

Nanocrystalline silver incorporated carbon nanotubes were grown on Si (001)substrate from an electrolytic bath containing acetonitrile (1% v/v) and water withappropriate amount of silver acetate at an applied d.c. potential ~20V. The films werecharacterized by measuring their microstructural properties, FTIR and Raman studies.HRTEM image indicated that the diameter of the nanotubes as –5 nm and the d spacing as~0.34 nm for (002) plane of CNT. With the addition of nanocrystalline silver, the intensity of G-band decreases while the D-band located ~1352 cm~(-1) becomes sharper.
