Coating Carbon Nanotubes with Rare Earth Oxide Multiwalled Nanotubes

Abstract

Using a simple low‐temperature chemical‐solution method , multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) coated with crystalline multi‐walled europium oxide nanotubes have been successfully synthesized (see Figure). The studies conducted show that such MWCNTs provide an opportunity for synthesising various rare earth oxide nanotubes, including non‐layered structure compounds, potentially useful for nanoscale optoelectronic devices.
