Abstract
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are special form of carbon nano materials with amazing applications in many areas of research.MWCNTs were synthesized by anAtmospheric Chemical Vapor Deposition (ACVD) system then decorated on their surface with Copper Oxide (CuO) nanoparticles via the hydrothermal method. The prepared un-purifiedMWCNTs and purified MWCNTs were characterized by High Resolution Transmittance Electron Microscope (HRTEM), Xray Diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. As well as the CuO/MWCNTs nanocomposite was characterized by HRTEM, XRD, Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and Raman spectroscopy. The results demonstrated the distribution of CuO nano particles on the surface of MWCNTs as well as the particle size, which was around 43 nm. The prepared nanocomposite has high thermal stability with adequate well quality. The combination of CuO nanoparticles and MWCNTs gives rise to the production ofa new composite with a wide range of applications.
