Abstract

We have succeeded in making peapod structures with vertically aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), grown on a silicon substrate using hot filament chemical vapor deposition. Opening the tips of the MWNTs was performed at 600°C using oxygen and then C₆₀ molecules were deposited on them to fill their inner spaces. We confirmed that the MWNTs were open at the tips and filled with C₆₀ molecules using transmission electron microscopy. In addition, it has been determined that MWNTs can be filled with other materials, such as molybdenum oxide.
