Abstract

Abstract Carbon nanotube arrays (CNTA) with ends cut open by femtosecond laser were used as Pd catalyst support to make anodes for alcohol oxidation in alkaline media. This Pd based end-opened CNTA electrode performed significantly better than the unprocessed Pd based CNTA electrode. The investigation proves that the femtosecond laser cutting technique can be very useful in fabricating 3D CNTA structures/devices with controllable dimensions and may yield unique advantages in terms of maximizing the potentials of CNTAs for application in energy conversion and energy storage.
