Abstract

The method for fully coating multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with crystalline europium oxides was discussed. MWCNTs were first suspended in an ethanol solution of europium nitrate in a high pressure vessel. Carbon dioxide was charged at a particular temperature, up to the desired pressure, resulting in a supercritical fluid solution. This solution reduced the solvent strength of ethanol, resulting in the coating of MWCNTs.
