A Nanowire–Nanoparticle Cross‐Linking Approach to Highly Porous Electrically Conducting Solids

In Situ Growth of Mesoporous SnO2 on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes: A Novel Composite with Porous‐Tube Structure as Anode for Lithium Batteries

“…Therefore, it is very important for material scientist to develop novel approach to prepare porous material with high surface area and excellent electrical conductivity. [13,14] Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), due to its unique properties, have been considered as powerful nanomaterials to functionalize other materials aiming at improving their electrical conductivity, mechanical and thermal properties in the past ten years. [15][16][17] Among the materials functionalized by CNTs, there were particular intensive attentions in SnO 2 because of its unique properties such as high optical transparency, electrical conductivity and chemical sensitivity, which made it become an attractive material for application in solar cells, field effect transistors, catalysis and gas-sensing.…”
