Abstract

RuO2nanostructures were synthesized by heating Ru nanoparticles in air at 280°C using Cu as catalyst. The Ru nanoparticles were prepared by the pyrolysis of ruthenium precursors in a vacuum using multi-walled carbon nanotubes as templates. The RuO2nanostructures grew radically with diameters of 50-150 nm, and lengths of 0.5-2.0 μm. The growth of nanostructure mainly depends on the dispersivity of Ru nanoparticles on MWNTs. The electrochemical property of these nanostructures was studied by cyclic voltammetry.
