摘要:
A new method for preparing a supported catalyst is herein provided. Carbon nanotubes are functionalized by contacting them with an oxidizing agent to form functionalized carbon nanotubes. A metal catalyst is then loaded or deposited onto the functionalized carbon nanotubes. The mixture is then extruded to form the supported catalyst comprising a carbon nanotube structure containing metal catalyst more evenly dispersed within the internal structure of the carbon nanotube structure.

摘要:
A method of chemically modifying carbon nanotubes having a diameter less than one micron comprising: contacting the nanotubes with a peroxygen compound selected from the group consisting of organic peroxyacids, inorganic peroxoacids and organic hydroperoxides, or a salt thereof, under oxidation conditions and thereby producing modified carbon nanotubes. Oxidation of the nanotubes increases the degree of dispersion of aggregates of nanotubes and aids in the disassembling of such aggregates. The dispersed nanotubes are used to prepare rigid structures and can be used in electrodes and capacitors.

Methods of treating single walled and multiwalled carbon nanotubes with ozone are provided. The carbon nanotubes are treated by contacting the carbon nanotubes with ozone at a temperature range between 0° C. and 100° C. to yield functionalized nanotubes which are greater in weight than the untreated carbon nanotubes. The carbon nanotubes treated according to methods of the invention can be used to prepare complex structures such as three dimensional networks or rigid porous structures which can be utilized to form electrodes for fabrication of improved electrochemical capacitors. Useful catalyst supports are prepared by contacting carbon nanotube structures such as carbon nanotube aggregates, three dimensional networks or rigid porous structures with ozone in the temperature range between 0° C. and 100° C.

A new method for preparing a supported catalyst is herein provided. A carbon nanotube structure such as a rigid porous structure is formed from carbon nanotubes. A metal catalyst is then loaded or deposited onto the carbon nanotube structure. The loaded carbon nanotube is preferably ground to powder form.
摘要:
A new method for preparing a supported catalyst is herein provided. The supported catalyst comprises a carbon nanotube network structure containing metal catalysts. The metal catalyst may be loaded onto functionalized carbon nanotubes before forming the carbon nanotube network structure. Alternatively, the metal catalyst may be loaded onto the carbon nanotube network structures themselves.
