Carbon nanotube-grafted inverse opal nanostructures

There have been numerous reports on hybridization to overcome the intrinsic limitations or properties of existing materials, and to develop a better composite for application in diverse nanostructured devices. Therefore, such a new functional material with a hierarchy may attract considerable attention in the development of advanced function in conventional devices. In this study, we suggest a facile protocol to fabricate an advanced hybrid composite of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and Ru inverse opal (IO) structures.
