A GREEN METHOD FOR FUNCTIONALIZATION OF MULTI-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES WITH HYDROXYL GROLUPS
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) functionalized with hydroxyl groups (MWNTols) on the exterior surface have been synthesized by reaction with KOH with the help of microwave irradiation. The as-prepared MWNTols are highly soluble in water to give robust black solutions. The successful introduction of hydroxyl groups were confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Transmission electron microscopy reveals that the diameter, length and morphology of MWNTs are well retained in MWNTols. MWNTols can be served as a useful precursor for further functionalization of MWNTs. The preparation of CNT-Au hybrids using MWNTols as precursor has been reported.
