Fe-Cu Doped Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes for Fenton-like Degradation of Paracetamol Under Mild Conditions

A series of carbon nanotubes doped with Fe and/or Cu, Fe100−xCux/CNT (x = 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100) has been prepared by an easy method of wetness impregnation of commercial multiwalled carbon nanotubes previously oxidized with nitric acid. The wide characterization of the solids by different technique...
