Nature of the Pd-CNT interaction in Pd nanoparticles dispersed on multi-walled carbon nanotubes and its implications in hydrogen storage properties
Oleyl amine stabilised Pd nanoparticles have been prepared by reverse micro-emulsion method and supported on multi walled CNTs. TEM studies have confirmed that Pd nanoparticles, having sizes in the range of 3-5 nm, are well dispersed on the CNTs. Based on 13 C MAS NMR and TG-DTA studies it is inferr...

Summary: | Oleyl amine stabilised Pd nanoparticles have been prepared by reverse micro-emulsion method and supported on multi walled CNTs. TEM studies have confirmed that Pd nanoparticles, having sizes in the range of 3-5 nm, are well dispersed on the CNTs. Based on
13
C MAS NMR and TG-DTA studies it is inferred that the Pd nanoparticles interact with CNT support to form sp
3
carbon species, which get effectively dispersed on the CNTs. Such finely dispersed Pd nanoparticles facilitate the spillover of hydrogen to the CNT support and improve the hydrogen storage capacity.
