KOH activated carbon multiwalled nanotubes
Journal Title: Carbon - Science and Technology - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
A protocol for chemical activation of Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) is presented. The modification of multi-walled carbon nanotubes is obtained by the solid / solid reaction between KOH and carbon nanotubes in a steinless cell under vacuum. The Baytubes C150 CP -Bayer® carbon nanotubes ware reacted by KOH (MWNTs / KOH versus ratio 1 : 5). As a result, KOH reacts with the carbon nanotubes and increases the specific surface area, the ultramicropores volume, and modifies the pore size distribution.
