Abstract

Copper-decorated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have important applications as precursors for ultra-conductive copper wires. Tenorite-decorated CNTs (CuO-CNTs) are ideal candidate and are currently used in laborious processes. For this reason, we have developed a facile and scalable method for the synthesi...
