Abstract

The size of carbon nanotube supported Pd and PdO nanoparticles was investigated on oxidatively functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes. All samples were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The average particle diameter calculated from TEM image analysis was found to be inversely proportional with the duration of the oxidation in nitric acid. Crystallite sizes determined from XRD patterns confirmed this general tendency.
