Nanoscale chemical imaging and spectroscopy of individual RuO(2) coated carbon nanotubes.
Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy was used to chemically image RuO(2) nano-layer coated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (RuO(2)/MWCNT) with a spatial resolution of 30 nm. X-Ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy of individual RuO(2)/MWCNTs has been compared with that of MWCNTs and RuO(2) which confirms that RuO(2) interacts with MWCNTs through charge redistribution.
