ABSTRACTAtomic layer deposition (ALD) was performed on quantities of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in a rotary reactor. Because of nucleation difficulties, Al2O3 ALD grew as nanospheres on the MWCNTs. After a NO2 nucleation treatment, Al2O3 ALD films grew conformally and noncovalently functionalized the surface of the MWCNT. This Al2O3 ALD film served as a platform for the growth of W ALD metal. The uncoated and ALD-coated MWCNTs were characterized with transmission electron microscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. This study demonstrates that ALD can be performed on quantities of very high surface area MWCNT substrates.

TiO2 and ZnO single and multilayers were deposited on hydroxyl functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes using atomic layer deposition. The bare carbon nanotubes and the resulting heterostructures were characterized by TG/DTA, Raman, XRD, SEM-EDX, XPS, TEM-EELS-SAED and low temperature nitrogen adsorption techniques, and their photocatalytic and gas sensing activities were also studied. The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were uniformly covered with anatase TiO2 and wurtzite ZnO layers and with their combinations. In the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange, the most beneficial structures are those where ZnO is the external layer, both in the case of single and double oxide layer covered CNTs (CNT-ZnO and CNT-TiO2-ZnO). The samples with multilayer oxides (CNT-ZnO-TiO2 and CNT-TiO2-ZnO) have lower catalytic activity due to their larger average densities, and consequently lower surface areas, compared to single oxide layer coated CNTs (CNT-ZnO and CNT-TiO2). In contrast, in gas sensing it is advantageous to have TiO2 as the outer layer. Since ZnO has higher conductivity, its gas sensing signals are lower when reacting with NH3 gas. The double oxide layer samples have higher resistivity, and hence a larger gas sensing response than their single oxide layer counterparts.

We have developed a visible-light phototransistor with excellent photodetection characteristics and stability via atomic layer deposition (ALD) to add a thin layer of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) to quantum dot (QD)/zinc oxide (ZnO) films.
