1H and 195Pt NMR prediction for inclusion compounds formed by cisplatin and oxidized carbon nanostructures

195Pt NMR chemical shifts of the cisplatin molecule in the inclusion complex formed by oxidized carbon nanotubes.

Local electrocatalytic activity of PtRu supported on nitrogen doped carbon nanotubes towards methanol oxidation by scanning electrochemical microscopy

Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) were synthesized by treating HNO3-oxidized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in NH3 flow at different temperatures. PtRu nanoparticles were decorated over NCNTs. The PtRu catalysts were prepared by...

Stability of cobalt-based Fischer–Tropsch catalyst supported on oxidized carbon nanotubes

The stability of 20[Formula: see text]wt.% Co/CNT catalyst was tested in the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis and the structural transformations both in the catalyst and support were analyzed. The catalyst showed high conversion and stable selectivity during three weeks of the test, which was attributed to the optimal and stable cobalt particle size of [Formula: see text]13–14[Formula: see text]nm promoted by the support pre-oxidation. XPS, Raman, and nitrogen adsorption data revealed that the carefully chosen catalyst annealing and reduction conditions ensured the preservation of the support structure.
