ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a composition, comprising a carbon nanostructure having a palladium crystallite encapsulated therein; and more particularly, to worm-like carbon nanostructures attached to a carbon cluster, the worm-like nanostructures being comprised of a plurality of connecting sections of carbon tubes terminating in an end portion which encapsulates a palladium crystallite within its internal cavity.
