(1)The evaluation theoretical evaluation of the reduction potential of alcohols with different carbon chain lengths (C1-C9) by estimating the HOMO, LUMO gaps using molecular orbital calculation suggested that the reduction potential of alcohols increases with increasing the chain length and are in good agreement with the experimental. (2) the synthesis mechanism to form nanotubes proceed as follow: Reduction of Cu, Unidirectional growth, Co deposition and Cu diffusion. (3) The electrochemical reduction of CO2 to formic acid shows that Cu-Co nanotubes were more active than Cu-Co nanoparticles due to high Co oxide on nanotube surface.
