Hydrothermal synthesis of halloysite nanotubes @carbon nanocomposites with good biocompatibility

In this work, the halloysite [email protected] ([email protected]) nanocomposites are synthesized by one-step hydrothermal carbonization of glucose on the surface of HNTs. HNTs can effectively induce heterogeneous deposition of carbonaceous materials on their surfaces, which leads to a layer of amorphous carbon around HNTs. The [email protected] was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier...
