Decoration of Carbon Nanotubes with Gold Nanoparticles for Catalytic Applications
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2011
Abstract
Gold nanoparticles supported on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared by using electroless plating technique. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) has shown that spherical gold nanoparticles were homogeneously dispersed on the surfaces of the carbon nanotubes with a distribution of particle sizes sharply at around 3-4 nm in diameter. The results presented in this work will probably provide new catalysts with better performances.
