Abstract

Owing to the large surface area (high surface-to-volume ratio) of carbon nanowalls, we can expect a variety of applications using carbon nanowalls such as batteries, capacitors, and gas sensors. To this end, carbon nanowalls are decorated with nanoparticles or films of metals, semiconductors, and insulators, by using several techniques including vacuum evaporation, sputtering, CVD, and plating. Previously, Wu et al. used carbon nanowalls as templates to fabricate large surface-area materials, including Au, Cu, Zn, Ni, CoNiFe, Se, ZnO, TiO2, SiO x , SiN x , and AlO x [1–3].
