Abstract
- Synthesis and characterization of Cu/CuxO nanoparticles supported on MWCNTs.
- Small nanoparticles (â¼8Â nm) were obtained using H2 as reductant.
- Acid treated and untreated multi-walled carbon nanotubes were investigated as support.
- The supported nanoparticles were tested as electrocatalysts for the reduction of nitrobenzene.
- Cu/CuxO nanoparticles supported on pristine MWCNTs show superior electrocatalytic activity.
