Abstract

In this study, we report a facile fabrication of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-CuO composites synthesized by a microwave method using MWCNTs and copper oxide (CuO). The number of copper hydrate precursors affect the size and number of CuO domains formed along the MWCNTs in the composites. The domain size is controllable from 239 nm to 348 nm. The composites are characterized by transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The CuO produced in the composites is confirmed to be tenorite with a monoclinic crystal structure through the XRD patterns of (-111), (111) and (-202).
