Abstract
|
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes have been decorated by SnS2 nanoparticles with different sizes using a simple chemical method. In this work, first multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) functionalized by using acid mixture, then this system coated by tin disulfide (SnS2) nanoparti- cles with nanoparticle sizes controlling. The samples have been characterized by X-Ray diffrac- tion and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We found size and uniformity of the SnS2 nanoparticles influenced by increasing reaction temperature and time. By increasing reaction temperature and time, size of the SnS2 nanoparticles became larger and nonuniform. Also we found that ultrasound waves could be used instead of organic compounds for avoiding agglom- eration of the SnS2 nanoparticles on the surface of MWCNTs.
