Formation of nanocomposite structures based on carbon nanotubes and titanium oxide doped with nitrogen

The morphology and chemical state of carbon nanotube-titanium oxide composite structures modified by ion irradiation are investigated. Scanning electron microscopy methods have shown a change in the morphology of the composite surface after irradiation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data showed the presence of nitrogen in the composite structure after irradiation, and an assessment of the chemical state of the surface indicates the incorporation of nitrogen into the composite structure. Measurement of the conductivity of the nanocomposite layers showed an increase in conductivity after ion treatments.
