title: Control of ZnO morphologies on carbon nanotube electrodes and electrocatalytic characteristics toward hydrazine.
abstract: We controlled the morphologies of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures on single-walled carbon nanotube electrodes by an electrochemical deposition method and investigated the dependence of the electrocatalytic characteristics toward hydrazine on the different morphologies. ZnO nanorods provided high electrocatalytic activity with unique electrochemical behaviours, associated with the H(+) ion generated by the electro-oxidation of hydrazine.
