Covalent and non-covalent strategies are utilized for the functionalization of carbon nanotubes with positively charged groups and subsequently negatively charged, inorganic catalysts, leading nanomaterials for electrocatalytic water splitting. Both multi- and single-walled carbon nanotubes react with under microwave irradiation and solvent-free conditions, whereas the formation of non-covalent nanoconjugates is accomplished by reaction of carbon nanotubes with trimethylammonium acetyl pyrene.

Abstract

Covalent and non-covalent strategies are utilized for the functionalization of carbon nanotubes with positively charged groups and subsequently negatively charged, inorganic catalysts, leading nanomaterials for electrocatalytic water splitting. Both multi- and single-walled carbon nanotubes react with under microwave irradiation and solvent-free conditions, whereas the formation of non-covalent nanoconjugates is accomplished by reaction of carbon nanotubes with trimethylammonium acetyl pyrene.
