Synthesis and Characterization of SWCNT-Functionalized Fe3O4 Nanoparticles
In this study, we present a novel strategy for the synthesis and characterization of single-carbon nanotube nanotubes (SWCNTs) covalently attached with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4|Fe2O3|FeO). The synthesis process involves a two-step approach, first immobilizing SWCNTs onto a compatible substrate and then incorporating Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a
