Several characterizations have been employed to reveal the nature of the modification imparted to the MWCNTs under hydrothermal processing conditions and the resulting TiO2-MWCNT conjugation through -COOH groups. Efficient charge transfer In the nanocomposite and efficient electron transport by MWCNT (significantly higher Incident-photon-to-current conversion efficiency) are suggested to be the possible reasons for the enhancement.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.925</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
