Copper Encapsulated Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube Arrays
A new procedure is described for the fabrication of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) which are decorated, and even completely encapsulated by a dense network of copper nanoparticles. The process involves the conformal deposition of pyrolytic carbon (Py-C),… Read More
