Nickel Decoration on Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Using Multi-Step Impregnation Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, nano-sized nickel particles were dispersed on multi-walled carbon nanotubes using multi-step impregnation method, to use them as hydrogen storage media. The dispersion degree of nickel particles on multi-walled carbon nanotubes is inversely proportional to the nickel concentration of solution. It was observed that the low nickel concentration is efficient to decorate nickel particles into the inner space. Multi-step impregnation method of MWNTs through several times with low nickel concentration is more efficient to manufacture Ni-MWNTs having well dispersed metallic nickel particles.
