Abstract :
The recently discovered single-wall carbon nanohorns (SWNH) are found to adsorb liquid ethanol effectively. The amount of liquid ethanol adsorbed by SWNHs is about 3.5 times larger than that of a super high surface area carbon. It is also found that SWNHs act as a catalyst for the oxidation of ethanol into acetaldehyde. Their thermal stability in oxygen is also discussed.
