Composite materials consisting of carbon nanostructures and nanoforms of selected metals
Journal Title: Archives of Materials Science and Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 84
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this article is to present various carbon-metal nanocomposites considering their constituent elements and fabrication conditions. Design/methodology/approach: The article outlines the results of microscopic examinations performed with a scanning and transmission electron microscope, presenting composites consisting of carbon nanomaterials and selected nanostructured metals. Findings: The investigations performed indicate that high-temperature reduction and chemical reduction are the methods enabling to fabricate carbon-metal nanocomposites with the expected structure and special electrical properties. Practical implications: The newly created composites will be applied as sensors in a gas or liquid environment. It has been evidenced that some of them have also good catalytic (MWCNTs-Re) and electrochemical (MWCNTs-Rh and MWCNTs-Pd) properties. Originality/value: Summary and comparative analysis of composites being a combination of carbon materials and selected nanostructured metals.
