Synthesis and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticle-Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Composites
Figure 3
(a) TEM image of representative coated tubes with Ag nanoparticles. (b) HRTEM image showing Ag nanoparticles attached to the tube wall. (c) Ag nanoparticles size distribution obtained from TEM images. (d) FFT of the image obtained from the region shown in (b) containing the larger nanoparticle and the outer layers of the MWCNT. The image shows the graphitic planes (0.34 nm interplanar distance) and silver planes (0.23 nm interplanar distances) perpendicular to each other [25]. Sample prepared with initial Ag to C atomic ratio, .
