Are metal-free pristine carbon nanotubes electrocatalytically active?
Metal-free (i.e., residual metallic impurities-blocked) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) do show electrocatalytic activity for H2 evolution, O2 evolution and O2 reduction reactions (HER, OER & ORR) in alkaline solutions, but their activities strongly depend on the number of walls or inner tubes with a ma...
