Features of the functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with a conical (Ni precursor) and cylindrical (Fe precursor) arrangement of graphene layers using various oxidizing agents are studied. The initial diameter of pyrolytically prepared tubes varies from 20 to 80 nm with a maxim...
