Enhanced catalytic activity for methanol electro-oxidation of uniformly dispersed nickel oxide nanoparticles-carbon nanotube hybrid materials

摘要

Highy crystalline NiO nanoparticles are uniformly grown on the walls of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by atomic layer deposition (ALD) at moderate temperature.Their size and stoichiometry are controlled by the ALD process parameters. The obtained NiO/CNT hybrids exhibit excellent performance in the electro-oxidation of methanol.
