✦ Synopsis

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been used in the oxidative dehydrogenation of 9,10dihydroanthracene in an organic solvent (toluene) using molecular oxygen as the oxidant, and in the absence of trace amounts of metals. The process is selective and almost no anthraquinone is formed. Thermal treatment of the MWCNTs at 2600 • C favours deoxygenation of the support and markedly improves the catalytic activity. MWCNTs are better catalysts than either charcoal or exfoliated carbon.

The electrochemical modification of carbon nanotube films (buckypapers) in three different electrolytes consisting of two acids and a basic solvent at very low concentrations was studied. The electrolysis was performed at 1 A up to a maximum of 12 h. Four different characterization techniques have b
