Oxygenic carbon nanotubes: Covalent and non‐covalent strategies are utilized for the functionalization of carbon nanotubes with positively charged groups and subsequently negatively charged, inorganic catalysts, leading nanomaterials for electrocatalytic water splitting. Both multi‐ and single‐walled carbon nanotubes react with under microwave irradiation and solvent‐free conditions, whereas the formation of non‐covalent nanoconjugates is accomplished by reaction of carbon nanotubes with trimethylammonium acetyl pyrene.
