Аннотация:Metal-free materials based on carbon nanostructures are promising catalysts in acid catalysis.
In the current work we have studied the effect of structure and surface functional groups of
carbon nanotubes (CNT) on the mechanism of catalytic conversion of aliphatic alcohols:
ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol and t-butanol. The reaction was studied
using an impulse microcatalytic method on pristine and oxidised CNT catalysts.
