Abstract:

The purpose of this work was to study coating process of high dispersion silver particles on short single-walled carbon nanotubes (Short-SWCNTs) by electroless plating method with an assistance of ultrasonic agitation. The silver-coated carbon nanotubes were prepared and characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). The results revealed that silver particles with average sizes of 42±0.006 nm, 58±0.008 nm and 59±0.005 nm were achieved using ultrasonic-assisted electroless plating time of 15 min, 30 min and 45 min, respectively. The silver particle size was increased with increasing electroless plating time. Besides, the ultrasonic agitation promoted well dispersion and homogeneity of silver particles on the surface of carbon nanotubes.
