Facilitated reduction of Cu by Pd on the opposing end of a carbon nanotube. a TPR profiles of CuO/CNT and Pd/CNT/CuO catalysts performed with a flowing 5% H2/Ar stream at a ramp rate of 5 °C/min. b Cu K edge XANES of Cu foil (black), Cu2O (red), and CuO. (blue). c XANES of fresh Pd/CNT/CuO (black) and after reduction in 3% H2 in He at 100 (red), 150 (blue), 200 (green), and 300 oC (pink). d XANES of fresh CuO physically mixed with CNTs (black) and after reduction in 3% H2 in He at 150 (red) and 200 oC (blue)
