Synthesis and Electrochemical Behavior of Nickel Sulfide-Decorated N-Doped Carbon Nanotubes: Effect of Growth Temperature

Abstract Nitrogen-doped multi-walled carbon nanotube (N-MWCNT) hybrid materials decorated with Ni-based sulfide nanoparticles were synthesized via aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition using benzylamine, nickelocene, and thiophene as precursors at 900 °C and 1020 °C. The inf...

Study of the impact of etching mixtures on the surface chemistry and electrocatalytic activity of multilayer Ti3C2Tx MXenes

Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXenes are commonly obtained through the chemical etching of the Ti₃AlC₂ MAX phase; however, the influence of the composition of the etching medium on their physicochemical properties and electrocatalytic performance requires further detailed understanding. This study com...

Enhanced silver nanoparticle dispersion on nitrogen-, oxygen-functionalized carbon nanotubes synthesized by CVD

This work investigates the surface decoration of nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) and oxygen-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (O-N-CNTs) with silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs). N-CNTs and O-N-CNTs were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition at 850 °C using differ...
