Abstract
Carbon nanotube paper, sometimes referred to
as bucky paper, is a random arrangement of carbon nanotubes meshed into a single robust structure, which can be
manipulated with relative ease. Multi-walled carbon
nanotubes were used to make the nanotube paper, and were
subsequently modified with platinum using an electroless
deposition method based on substrate enhanced electroless
deposition. This involves the use of a sacrificial metal
substrate that undergoes electro-dissolution while the
platinum metal deposits out of solution onto the nanotube
paper via a galvanic displacement reaction. The samples
were characterized using SEM/EDS, and Hall-effect measurements. The SEM/EDS analysis clearly revealed
deposits of platinum (Pt) distributed over the nanotube
paper surface, and the qualitative elemental analysis
revealed co-deposition of other elements from the metal
substrates used.
