Synthesis by grafting of ZrO₂ to multi-walled carbon nanotubes (ZrO₂/MWCNT) is described. The resulting ZrO₂/MWCNT was characterized by TEM, XRD, TGA, TPD/mass spectra and EXAFS. Sulfated ZrO₂/MWCNT was also characterized by the probe reaction, double bond and methyl shift isomerization of 2-methylpent-2-ene, to kinetically characterize weak and strong catalytic acidity, respectively.
