Metal oxide nanoparticles supported on heteroatom-doped graphitic surfaces have been pursued for several decades for a wide spectrum of applications. Despite extensive research on functional metal oxide nanoparticle/doped carbon nanomaterial hybrids, the role of the heteroatom dopant in the hybridization process of doped carbon nanomaterials has been overlooked. Here, the direct growth of MnOx and RuOx nanoparticles in nitrogen (N)-doped sites of carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) is presented. The quaternary nitrogen (NQ) sites of CNTs actively participate in the nucleation and growth of the metal nanoparticles. The evenly distributed NQ nucleation sites mediate the generation of uniformly dispersed <10 nm diameter MnOx and RuOx nanoparticles, directly decorated on NCNT surfaces. The electrochemical performance of the resultant hybridized materials was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry. This novel hybridization method using the dopant-mediated nucleation and growth of metal oxides suggests ways that heteroatom dopants can be utilized to optimize the structure, interface and corresponding properties of graphitic carbon-based hybrid materials.

Metal oxide-based nanoparticles of cobalt or nickel were deposited inside the pores and on the surface of hexagonal mesoporous silicas by a direct synthesis technique using Pluronic P85 and P123 surfactants as structure directing agents with the appropriate metal phthalocyanine as a metal precursor. Metal loadings were between 0.4–3.2 wt.%. XPS studies showed that the initial form of the metal oxide nanoparticles were [CoO] and [NiO] respectively. Samples of these materials formed from the P85 surfactant and 3.0 wt.% were used to grow carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from acetylene feedstock in a catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CCVD) reactor at 800 °C. CNT growth appeared to be random and the CNTs had diameters ranging from <10 to >90 nm. Treatment of the metal impregnated silicas with nitric acid produced materials which, under the same CNT growth conditions, afforded more uniform CNTs with diameters between 5–15 nm. No significant loss in mesophase ordering was seen in the TEM, PXRD or nitrogen physisorption analysis of the acid washed samples. CNTs grown with cobalt impregnated silicas formed with the P123 surfactant had diameters in the range 15–25 nm. Raman spectroscopy of the CNT products showed the nanotubes were highly graphitised and of good quality.
