Проведены исследования нанокомпозитов, полученных путем осаждения методом MOCVD с использованием хроморганической жидкости «Бархос» слоев разной толщины пиролитического хрома на внешнюю поверхность многостенных углеродных нанотрубок (МУНТ). Данные покрытия из пиролитического Cr имеют высокую микротвердость, термостойкость, гидрофобность и химическую стойкость по отношению к соляной и серной кислотам и расплаву щелочей.Уникальные физические свойства хромовых покрытий, а также химическая стойкость в широком диапазоне температур и большая внешняя поверхность МУНТ открывают широкие перспективы возможных приложений исследуемых нанокомпозитов. Важной проблемой в этом случае является выяснение механизмов адгезии хрома на химически инертную поверхность МУНТ.Перспективным методом изучения интерфейса поверхность МУНТ – покрывающий слой является ультрамягкая рентгеновская спектроскопия в области NEXAFS 1s – порога ионизации углерода. Однако такие исследования для соединений хрома практически отсутствуют в литературе по причине наложения структуры NEXAFS Cr2p-спектров поглощения на область NEXAFS C1s – порога ионизации. В настоящей работе исследования нанокомпозитов были проведены методом полного выхода электронов с использованием оригинальной методики подавления и измерениявклада кратных порядков в области C1s – края поглощения. Проведенные методами NEXAFS и XPS-спектроскопии исследования нанокомпозита (пиролитический Cr) / МУНТ показали: (i) в спектре композита сохраняются особенности, характерные для чистой МУНТ; (ii) отсутствиесущественной деструкции внешних слоев МУНТ; (iii) интерфейс между МУНТ и покрытием пиролитического хрома представляет собой многослойную структуру. Эта структура включает внешнюю поверхность МУНТ, атомы которой образуют С–О и С–Cr связи с покрытием пиролитического хрома, монослой карбида хрома и покрывающий слой оксида хрома (Cr2O3). Для исследованных образцов определены эффективные толщины покрывающих слоев оксидаи карбида хрома 1.5 и 0.3 нм соответственно.         ЛИТЕРАТУРА Ob’edkov A. M., Kaverin B. S., Gusev S.

The authors report the preparation of the nanocomposite comprising of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) and selenium (Se) nanoparticles and functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) (V2O5@Se NPs/MWCNTs). Since Se NPs possesses extraordinary physicochemical properties including larger surface area with higher adsorption capacity, V2O5 NPs were adsorbed onto Se NPs surface through physisorption process (designated as V2O5@Se NPs). The nanocomposite synthesized hydrothermally was evaluated for its antimicrobial activity. The morphology and microstructure of the nanocomposite were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) were employed to analyze the spectral properties of nanocomposite. The microbicidal efficacy of nanocomposite was tested against Gram-negative (G-)ZGram-positive (G+) bacteria and fungus. This is the first report on the synthesis of V2O5@Se NPs/MWCNTs nanocomposites by chemical method that showed microbicidal effect on micro-organisms. The thiol (-SH) units facilitates the enrichment of V2O5@Se NPs onto MWCNTs surface. Ultimately, it reflects on the significant antimicrobial activity of V2O5@Se NPs/MWCNTs.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as an excellent supporter covered with a thick layer of cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) were prepared by in-situ synthesis. Platinum particles were adopted to enhance the conductivity of CoPc-MWCNTs. The final nanocomposite Pt-CoPc-MWCNTs was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Strong aromatic π-π stacking between MWCNTs and CoPc made CoPc in-situ forming on MWCNTs. With homogeneous thickness of CoPc covered on the MWCNTs and Pt particles equally distributed, the nanocomposite was used as electrocatalyst. The electrochemical properties of the composite got researched by casting the dispersion of Pt-CoPc-MWCNTs on the glassy carbon electrode. Compared with other modified electrodes, Pt-CoPc-MWCNTs/GC electrode exhibited excellent electrochemical activity towards dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA). Linear responses for DA and UA were obtained in the ranges of 5 to 170 μM and 5 to 100 μM, and limits of detection were 2.6 and 1.4 μM (S/N= 3), respectively. Simultaneous detection of DA and UA in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA) also displayed selective property, with no interference to each other.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/iron oxide magnetic composites (named as MCs) were prepared by co-precipitation method, and were characterised by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in detail. The prepared MCs were employed as an adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions from wastewater in heavy metal ion pollution cleanup. The results demonstrated that the sorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions was strongly dependent on pH and temperature. The experimental data were well described by Langmuir model, and the monolayer sorption capacity of MCs was found to vary from 10.02 to 31.25 mg/g for Pb(II) and from 3.11 to 8.92 mg/g for Cu(II) at temperature increasing from 293.15 to 353.15 K at pH 5.50. The sorption capacity of Pb(II) on MCs was higher than that of Cu(II), which was attributed to their ionic radius, hydration energies and hydrolysis of their hydroxides. The thermodynamic parameters (i.e., ΔH0, ΔS0 and ΔG0) were calculated from temperature dependent sorption isotherms, and the results indicated that the sorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions on MCs were spontaneous and endothermic processes.

The Dopamine-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-Dopa) were synthesized by chemical reaction between dopamine (Dopa) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes which oxidazed by mixed-acid (MWNT-COOH). The structure of MWNT-Dopa were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric (TG), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques and the dispersity of MWNT-Dopa were studied by Dispersion stability analyzer. The results show that dopamine has been grafted on multiwalled carbon nanotubes successfully, and a dopamine layer which wraps on the surface of multiwalled nanotubes make multiwalled nanotubes have outstanding dispersity in water.

In this study, Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were oxidized by a mixture of sulfuric acid and nitric acid (V:V = 3:1) at 70 °C for 1, 2, and 4 h, respectively. The oxidized MWCNTs were characterized by N2 adsorption, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and Raman spectroscopy to determine the oxidation degree. The dispersion of the MWCNTs was investigated by UV-vis-NIR, SEM, and dynamic light scattering measurements. Results show that sulfonitric treatment increased the surface area and total pore volume and reduced the average pore diameter of MWCNTs. The treatment promoted the formation of oxidized species on the surface MWCNTs, as identified by FT-IR, TGA, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements, and more oxygen-containing functional groups were generated when treatment time was extended. Moreover, a general relationship between oxidation degree and dispersibility of MWCNTs in water was established. UV-vis-NIR and dynamic light scattering measurements and SEM images revealed that MWCNTs with higher oxidation degree showed better dispersibility in water.

A new method to functionalize multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) has been established using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as initiator. The functionalization was carried out through free radical reaction by thermal decomposition of benzoyl peroxide at 110°C. The reaction liberated carbon dioxide and generated phenyl free radicals. The phenyl free radicals initiated in-situ functionalization represent a simple means of creating reactive site on the surface of MWNT as well as on APTES. The functionalized MWNT was characterized using X-ray photoelectron microscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM results showed that the APTES has been successfully grafted onto MWNT. Due to the high radical reactive trap of MWNT, APTES radical are easily grafted onto MWNT surface to form covalent bond. XPS results clearly indicate alkoxylsilane and amide groups of APTES were grafted on the MWNT surface with the formation of C-O-Si and C-N bonds as evidence. From the XRD results, it was found that the surface functionalized does not give any effect on the MWNT graphitic structure.
