METHOD FOR PREPARING CATALYST SUPPORTS AND SUPPORTED CATALYSTS FROM SINGLE WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES

摘要

A new method for preparing a supported catalyst is herein provided. A carbon nanotube structure such as a rigid porous structure is formed from single walled carbon nanotubes. A metal catalyst is then loaded or deposited onto the carbon nanotube structure. The loaded carbon nanotube is preferably ground to powder form.
