Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were successfully deposited on a Tb2 nanoparticle film via thermal chemical vapour deposition (CVD) using iron(Ill) as the catalyst, which was loaded into the titanium isopropoxide precursor solution. The properties of the Ti02/MWNTs nanocomposite was characterize...
