摘要
The coating of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) with thick SnO 2 layers using granulated tin (Sn) as starting material was discussed. The XRD patterns of the pristine MWNTs and SnO2 coated MWNTs were obtained by powder X-ray diffraction. It was found that with longer reaction time, the thickness of the coating layer was increased and the morphology of the coating layer became smooth and uniform. When the thickness of the SnO2 layer was high, the coating with internal looser and less cross-linked structure exhibited fracture due to the accumulation of local stresses.
