Synthesis and electrocatalytic activity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes/Cu–Ag nanocomposites
Source abstract
Abstract
Cu–Ag bimetallic nanoparticles with atomic ratio of 2.1:1 and diameter in the range of 15–30 nm were decorated on acid-treated multi-walled carbon nanotubes by a chemical reduction method, which was characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The Cu–Ag/MWNTs nanocomposites were used to construct a modified electrode toward biosensing of H2O2 with a high sensitivity. The catalytic ability of MWNTs/Cu–Ag toward H2O2 was much better than that of MWNTs/Cu and MWNTs/Ag, which indicated that there is a cooperation effect between Cu and Ag.
