Influence of organic compound on the Fe-Mo/MgO catalyst by catalytic combustion for synthesis thin multi-walled carbon nanotubes

Abstract

Thin multi-walled carbon nanotubes have been synthesized by catalytic decomposition of methane over Fe-Mo/MgO catalyst. To fabricate the homogeneous catalysts, we studied the effects of various organic compounds using catalytic combustion method, which has the advantage to form uniform distribution of catalytic nanoparticles over the support material
