CNT must be functionalized before use as a catalyst support and typically this involves oxidation. However, the functional group distribution on the CNT is very complex mixture of groups and varies with oxidation agent used. Here a simple acid-base titration is introduced to characterize the oxygen functionalized CNT. By comparing characterization with near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for both at the C and O K-edges, it can be demonstrated that potentiometric proton titration can be a fast and quantitative analysis for Brnsted acid functional groups on CNT.展开更多
