The synthesis of carbon nanotubes filled with silver, gold, and gold chloride is described. The resulting materials have been studied by high-resolution electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The EDS data were obtained using a high-resolution electron microscope equipped with a field emission gun which allowed for X-ray analytical data to be obtained on individual particles located within the carbon nanotubes using a 0.7 nm probe.
