The synthesis of hybrid nanostructures of gold nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes and their transformation to solid carbon nanorods Original Research Article

Hybrid nanostructures composed of gold nanoparticles and multiwall carbon nanotubes (AuNPs@MWCNT) were prepared by the so called solvated metal atom dispersion method (SMAD), combined with chemical vapor deposition (CVD). In the SMAD procedure, bulk gold
