Abstract
The electronic structures of carbon nanotube/RuO2 core/shell nanocomposite (RuO2 thin layer coated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)) have been studied by X-ray absorption near-edge structures (XANES) at C K-edge, O K-edge, and Ru M5,4- and L3-edges. The variation in white-line features of the XANES at these edges supports strongly that RuO2 interacts with MWNTs through Ru - O - C bonding, which also results in charge redistribution between C 2p-derived states in MWNT and the conduction band in RuO2. Such chemical bonding is necessary to immobilize RuO2 on MWNT and ensures good conductivity of MWNT/ RuO2 core/shell nanocomposite.
