Abstract: The dispersion and catalytic activity of nano-RuO2 catalyst depend on the carboxyl groups from carbon nanotube surfaces or polydentrate ligands but had no correlation with the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups on carbon nanotube.

Key words: carbon nanotube, surface modification, carboxyl group, nanoparticle, dispersion
