Abstract

Nitrogen-doped multi-walled carbon nanotubes (N-MWCNT) were synthesized by means of catalytic chemical vapor deposition technique using acetonitrile as carbon source material and ferrocene as catalyst. The structure of the synthesized N-MWCNT was characterized by means of microscopic (SEM, HRTEM) as well as spectroscopic (FTIR, Raman) techniques. Furthermore, the specific resistivity and the electrochemical properties of N-MWCNT were investigated and compared with those of pristine MWCNT. The results are discussed in terms of structural differences between pristine MWCNT and N-MWCNT.
