abstract = "We report the effect of incorporation of multi-walled carbon
nanotubes (MWCNT) on the mechanical, structural, optical and
electrochemical properties of diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin
films. The DLC/MWCNT hybrid composite was deposited onto stainless
steel and quartz substrates by plasma enhanced chemical vapor
deposition at low temperature (\∼100°C). Raman spectra of
DLC/MWCNT film have characteristics from both DLC and MWCNT. The
optical bandgap energy decreases with the incorporation of
nanotubes. Scanning electron microscopy images confirm the
presence of the MWCNT within the DLC film, forming a large
interconnected conducting mesh. Tribological tests confirm there
was slight adherence loss with incorporating MWCNT into the DLC
films, while improving their electrical conductivity.
Electrochemical assays show the incorporation of MWCNT converts
DLC from an insulating material into a reversible electrode with
fast charge transfer. This novel hybrid composite is shown to be
mechanically robust, chemically inert and exhibits fast
charge-transfer kinetics, which is very promising for several new
applications.",
