New Hybrid Material Based on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Decorated by Rhenium-Tungsten Nanodendrites

Аннотация

Re–W nanoparticles are deposited onto multiwalled carbon nanotubes by the metal organic chemical vapor deposition technique. A mixture of dirhenium decacarbonyl and tungsten hexacarbonyl is used as a precursor. Nanoparticles of hybrid materials are studied by scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray phase analysis. It is found that in a wide range of ratios of the precursors (dirhenium decacarbonyl and tungsten hexacarbonyl), the crystalline component is a Re–W phase, and the morphology of the nanoparticles is the same as that of the nanodendrites.
