Under UV-Vis irradiation, the metallic impurities embedded in non-purified commercial carbon nanotubes generate radicals suitable for advanced oxidation processes. Semiconducting PPY membranes enhance the photo activity of a supported catalyst.

Conversion of biorenewable feedstocks into transportation fuels or chemicals likely necessitates the development of novel heterogeneous catalysts with good hydrothermal stability, due to the nature of highly oxygenated biomass compounds and the prevalence of water as a processing solvent. The use of carbon-based materials, derived from sugars as catalyst precursors, can achieve hydrothermal stability while simultaneously realizing the goal of sustainability. In this work, the simultaneous pyrolysis of glucose and taurine in the presence of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), to obtain versatile solid acids, has been demonstrated. Structural and textural properties of the catalysts have been characterized by TEM, TGA, and XPS. Additionally, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy has been exploited to elucidate the chemical nature of carbon species deposited on the surface of MWCNTs. Al(OTf)3, a model Lewis acidic metal salt, has been successfully supported on sulfonic groups tethered to MWCNTs. This catalyst has been tested for C6 sugar dehydration for the production of HMF in a tetrahydrofuran (THF)/water solvent system with good recyclability.

Three electrochemical double layer capacitor (EDLC) cells (Cell X, Y and Z) made from an electrode of 90 wt. % of the multiwalled commercial carbon nanotubes, 10 wt. % of poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) and three different samples of electrolytes polymer electrolyte made up of a compositions of 50:50, 60:40 and 70:30 wt.% of H3PO4/PVA (in ratio) soaked in a filter paper was characterized in this study. The aim is to ascertain the disparities in performances of the cells in relation to their respective scan rates. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurement of cells shows a high specific capacitance of 313 Fg−1 for the scan rates 10 mV was recorded from the cell with the highest composition H3PO4/PVA ratio (i.e. 70:30 wt.%). However, when the CV of the cell was measured with different scan rates, disparities in the performance occurred, as only 94 and 174 Fg−1 was recorded at the scan rates 100 and 50 mV respectively for cell-X. The result was not different when the two other cells (60:40 and 70:30 wt. % of H3PO4/PVA) were measured at the same scan rates.

Synthesized silver nanowire/polystyrene nanocomposites showed superior electrical properties to commercial carbon nanotube/polystyrene nanocomposites at high filler loadings. This was ascribed to the higher metallic nature of silver nanowires.
