Dressing of Mwcnts with TiO2 Nanoparticles Using Modified Microwave Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Optical properties of TiO2 dressed on the surface of MWCNTs have been investigated. The samples were prepared using modified microwave method and characterized using TEM, XRD and UV-Vis spectroscopy. A clear interface between MWCNT and TiO2 indicated strong attachment between these two nanostructures. Significant change in absorption spectra proved the absorption wavelength and band gap energy of TiO2 nanostructures can be controlled via dressing of MWCNT.
