TI  - Seed-mediated growth of ZnO nanorods on multiwalled carbon nanotubes.
PG  - 4441-6
AB  - The heterostructures of ZnO nanorods on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were 
      fabricated by a seed-mediated growth method. First, the surfaces of the carbon 
      nanotubes (CNTs) were coated in situ with mono-dispersed ZnO nanocrystals of 
      about 7 nm by the reaction of zinc acetate and sodium hydroxide. These 
      nanocrystals were then served as the seeds for further growth of ZnO nanorods. In 
      the second step, ZnO nanorods were grown on MWNTs coated with ZnO nanocrystals in 
      an aqueous solution of zinc nitrate and equimolar hexamethylenetetramine at 85 
      degrees C. Typically, the ZnO nanorods had the length of 300-600 nm and the 
      diameter of 40-140 nm and took a random direction on the outside walls of MWNTs. 
      The morphology of the ZnO nanorods was dependent on pH, reactant concentration, 
      and growing time.
