Synthesis of nano-TaO(x) oxygen reduction reaction catalysts on multi-walled carbon nanotubes connected via a decomposition of oxy-tantalum phthalocyanine.

چکیده
Nano-TaOx particles were supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes via the thermal decomposition of oxy-tantalum phthalocyanine. The phthalocyanine-derived carbon connected TaOx particles with the nanotube-support to provide a conductive path. The oxygen reduction reaction activity, which solely originated from TaOx, was above 0.9 V with larger currents than conventional TaOx particles in acidic media.

In this study, the effect of copper chromite (CuO.Cr2O3) nanoparticles and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as nanocatalysts on the thermal decomposition behavior of ammonium perchlorate (AP) has been investigated using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). At first, copper chromite (CuO.Cr2O3) nanoparticles were prepared by inverse co-precipitation method. In this method, cupric nitra...
متن کاملNovel catalysts, room temperature, and the importance of oxygen for the synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
In this letter, we show for the first time the use of metal oxides as catalysts in the synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using laser ablation. Further, SWCNTs have been synthesized at low temperature (down to room temperature), where their nucleation cannot be explained via fullerene nucleation. The data point to a nucleation mechanism previously not identified, that places a...
