Thiolation functional CNTs

It is believed that some doped carbon nanotubes can provide the Pt catalyst with strong interaction. For example, highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles supported on surface of thiolation functional carbon nanotubes, such as S-doped CNTs (SH-CNTs), CNTs-CeHe-CHs-SH, CNTs-CONH-(CH2)2-SH, and CNTs—CONH—CeHe—SH, were explored. Furthermore, when some metal oxides such as NbTi02 and metal carbides were explored as the catalyst supports, strong interaction between catalyst and the support was also observed. ... 

The thiolation of the HNOs-treated CNTs was achieved by reaction with SOCI2 to form acyl chloride-functionalized CNTs, and then with 4-aminothiophenol (NH2C6H4SH). The detailed procedure is described elsewhere [10].
