  • Patent number: 11069902
    Abstract: The present invention provides a catalyst electrode for oxygen evolution comprising an electrode current collector comprising a carbon fiber fabric, a nanowire layer comprising a metal oxide-based porous nanowire grown radially from the surface of the carbon fiber, and a porous carbon coating layer disposed around the outer surface of the nanowire, thereby maximizing the specific surface area and increasing the electron transfer rate, and thus exhibiting an excellent catalytic activity for oxygen evolution reaction, and a preparation method thereof.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9486773
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hierarchical structure of graphene-carbon nanotubes and a method for preparing the same, and, more specifically, to a method for growing graphene into carbon nanotubes having a hierarchical structure by adding metal nanoparticles on the graphene. According to the present invention, carbon nanotubes having a hierarchical structure, which have an increased specific surface area compared to existing carbon nanotubes, can be obtained, and a carbon nanotube structure which is metal-functionalized by a metal precursor can be obtained. In addition, carbon nanotubes can be prepared in an environmentally-friendly manner by the use of microwaves.
