摘要:
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), having a diameter around 100-200 rim, were used as host material for electrode-position of Ni using a Ni plating bath containing homogeneously dispersed MWNTs. Ni-deposited or coated MWNTs with a skewered dumpling shape accumulated on the Cu cathode electrode. A model representing the growth process of these electrodeposits, which possess such a skewered dumpling shape, is presented. These electrodeposits were separated easily from the cathode electrode by ultrasonic irradiation in an acetone bath to yield a Ni-deposited or coated MWNTs powder. The amount of Ni deposited on the MWNTs can be controlled by selecting the appropriate electroplating conditions. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
