title: Biomimetic mineralization of vertical N-doped carbon nanotubes.
abstract: Biomimetic mineralization of vertical N-doped carbon nanotubes is demonstrated as a straightforward route for carbon-based mineral nanocomposites. The N-doped sites along the carbon nanotube backbone play the role of nucleation sites for mineralization.
