Fabricating gold nanoparticle-oxide nanotube composite materials by a self-assembly method.
Composition of nanostructured metal particles on oxide tubes (TiO2 and ZrO2) were fabricated and characterized. The composite materials were examined by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, FT-IR absorption, and UV-visible absorption spectra. The results of characterization showed that the composites indeed contained both oxide tubes and gold nanoparticles and that the gold nanoparticles were intimately associated with the nanotubes.
