Abstract

Multi walled nitrogen doped nanotubes were synthesized using two different methods. The growth mechanism and nitrogen concentration of the nanotubes synthesized by both methods are discussed and studied. The morphology and nitrogen concentration of the nanotubes are seen to strongly depend on the synthesis methods. The results are based on detailed high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) data coupled with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS).
