Title: Synthesis of supported carbon nanotubes in mineralized silica-wood composites

Journal Article · · Carbon, 43(5):1096-1098

Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) form spontaneously upon graphitization of organic precursors bound to the internal surfaces of a high porosity mineralized sample of natural wood. Following HF etching, both mesostructured carbon and randomly distributed and intertwined MWNTs were seen throughout the wood cellular structure.
