Copper oxide (CuO, 10–90 wt%) was loaded onto carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by electrosynthesis method. The catalysts (CuO/CNT) were characterized by XRD, nitrogen adsorption–desorption, ESR, FTIR, Raman, and XPS spectroscopy. The results indicated that a lower amount of CuO was dispersed well on the CNT,...
