We demonstrate a new approach for the unzipping of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) in an aqueous solution using the transition metal complex PdCl<sub>4</sub> <sup>2-</sup> as a sacrificial chemical scissor and the growth of graphitic-carbon-coated Pd nanoparticles for the electrocatalytic oxidation of formic acid. The chemical unzipping and the growth of Pd nanoparticles involve the spontaneous electron transfer between SWCNT and the metal complex in an aqueous solution at room temperature ...[more]
