• . The electrophoretic deposition was a cathodic process in which the applied working potential was a little bit more negative than the open circuit potential (η = −200 mV), in order to induce the migration of the positively charged colloidal NPs towards the MWCNT-based device, used as cathode. This mild

• images confirm the control of the density of the deposited metal NPs by electrophoretic deposition time. Specifically, at a higher metal content, the Au NPs remain isolated, decorating the MWCNT sidewalls in a noncontinuous manner (Figure 4C). On the contrary, an almost contiguous distribution of Pd NPs
