Purpose: The primary aim of the paper is to compare fabrication methods and present newly fabricated nanocomposites whose structural components are multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and respectively Rh, Re and Pt nanocrystals. Design/methodology/approach: The newly fabricated nanocomposites underwent Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) examinations in the bright to show their structure. Spectroscopy examinations were carried out, as well, to determine chemical composition of the material. Findings: It was found based on a comparative analysis of the structure of selected nanocomposites that functionalisation methods and a reduction method of precursors of selected noble elements have a significant effect on the structure and morphology of the compared carbon nanocomposites. Research limitations/implications: Nanocomposites consisting of carbon nanotubes decorated with metal nanoparticles possess special electrical properties and a developed specific area, which makes them particularly suitable as active elements of industrial gas sensors. The materials can also be used as biosensors and catalysts in the future. Originality/value: The paper presents the results of investigations relating to the synthesis of nanocomposites consisting of multiwalled carbon nanotubes and respectively Rh, Re and Pt nanocrystals and their structure and chemical composition.
