Abstract

Nano gold (Au) particles loaded carbon nanotubes (Nano-Au/CNTs) were prepared by a new method. Polar groups and defects were introduced on the surface of the prepared Nano-Au/CNTs by a mixed acids treatment process, and their electrocatalytic properties were investigated in this study. Comparing with the traditional preparation method, the particle nano size of Au can be controlled and it is easier to wash the sodium citrate by this method. Comparing to the blank carbon nanotubes (CNTs), the Au/CNTs composite catalysts show better electrochemical catalytic performance.
