A study on the synthesis of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and zinc oxide (ZnO) hybrid materials using the mecahnochemical technique has been conducted. MWCNT was dispersed in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution. ZnO was formed at milling time between 2 and 5 hours, where at 10 hours the XRD results showed only small peaks of ZnO. This suggests that at longer milling time, the ZnO crystals were either become amorphous or have reduced in sized so as not to be detected using XRD. ZnO has also been doped with Manganese (Mn) which have affected the crystal structure and surface morphology of the sample.Keywords:Doping, Manganese nitrate, Mechanochemical technique, Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), Surfactant method , Zinc Oxide (ZnO)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
