Abstract:
Novel applications in nanotechnology rely on the design of tailored nanoarchitectures. For this purpose, carbon nanotubes and nanoparticles are intensively investigated. In this work, we study the influence of nonfunctionalized carbon nanotubes on the synthesis of CdSe nanoparticles by means of organometallic colloidal routes. This new synthesis methodology not only provides an effective path to attach nanoparticles noncovalently to carbon nanotubes but represents also a new way to control the shape of nanoparticles.
