Supramolecular self-assembly of amphiphiles on carbon nanotubes: a versatile strategy for the construction of CNT/metal nanohybrids, application to electrocatalysis.
Homogeneous coating of carbon nanotubes with metallic nanoparticles was achieved using supramolecular auto-organization of amphiphilic molecules as template. The resulting Pd nanoparticles/carbon nanotube nanohybrids were then evaluated in electrocatalysis experiments, showing superior activity in ethanol oxidation compared to analogous systems.
