Direct Production of Carbon Nanotubes/Metal Nanoparticles Hybrids from a Redox Reaction between Metal Ions and Reduced Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract: A method to decorate single-walled and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with metal nanoparticles (NPs) based on the formation of a CNT polyelectrolyte is reported. Such a method does not rely on CNT surface functionalization or the use of surfactants. It has been tested for gold (Au) and palladium (Pd). The resulting hybrids present metal NPs highly dispersed along the tube walls and with small size dispersion. The average diameters of the Au and Pd NPs were approximately 5 and approximately 3 nm, respectiv… Show more

“…The covalent way, either exohedral or endohedral, can be applied to the extremities or sidewall. 81 It is also possible to decorate CNTs with other nanoparticles, such as silver or gold, 82 carbohydrate molecules, 49,83,84 or peptides. 85 This property makes CNTs efficient when it comes to being as similar as possible to the ECM.…”

“…In this case, surface functionalization of CNTs and use of surfactants in order to access dispersibility, are not necessary. This electrochemical method is easily scaled-up and very promising [137]. On the other hand, Pt nanoparticles can be dispersed in poly(acrylic acid) modified by MWCNTs, through ethylene glycol reduction [138].…”

“…The resulting, reduced species are in turn highly potent reducing agent. They have been used as such to prepare metallic nanoparticles of palladium or platinum that have shown efficient catalytic activity upon Suzuki, Stille and Heck reactions [99,100,103].…”
