Abstract

Carbon nanotube (CNT) and mesoporous TiO2 composite (CNT/meso-TiO2) was synthesized by a nanocasting method using CNT-implanted mesoporous silica material as the template. The CNT was successfully incorporated within a mesoporous TiO2 particle, and the CNT/meso-TiO2 composite obtained exhibits a high surface area and well-established mesoporosity. Moreover, the composite material exhibits much lower electric resistance than those of mesoporous TiO2 only and physical mixture of CNT and mesoporous TiO2, which probably due to the large interface area and strong junction between the implanted CNT and TiO2 framework in the composite.
