Short communication Hydroxyapatite supported Nickel catalyst for hydrogen production
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) supported Nickel (Ni) catalyst was prepared using wet impregnation method. A series of Ni/HAp catalysts have been prepared by varying the amount of nickel viz., 3, 6 and 12 %. The highest Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 92.18 m/g was noticed for a catalyst composition containing 3% nickel loading. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies revealed a smooth...
متن کاملNickel supported on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes as hydrogen oxidation reaction catalyst in alkaline electrolyte
The development of a low-cost, high-performance platinum-group-metal-free hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cell is hindered by the lack of a hydrogen oxidation reaction catalyst at the anode. Here we report that a composite catalyst, nickel nanoparticles supported on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes, has hydrogen oxidation activity similar to platinum-group metals in alkaline electrolyte. Althou...
متن کاملStructure and properties of a Mo oxide catalyst supported on hollow carbon nanofibers in selective propene oxidation
In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) under reaction conditions of selective propene oxidation was employed to elucidate the local structure of as-prepared and activated molybdenum oxide supported on hollow vapor-grown carbon nanofibers (VGCNF). The local structure of asprepared MoxOy-VGCNF was very similar to that of hexagonal MoO3. During heat treatment in propeneand oxygen-containing a...
متن کاملFirst principles studies of the effect of nickel carbide catalyst composition on carbon nanotube growth
Density functional theory calculations were used to investigate the stability of single walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) attached to nanoparticles. The total energies and the adhesion energies between the CNTs and the nanoparticles were calculated for systems where the nanoparticles were either pure Ni or Ni carbide. It was found that the adhesion between the CNT and a pure Ni cluster is stronger...
متن کاملEffects of hydrogen pretreatment on physical-vapor-deposited nickel catalyst for multi-walled carbon nanotube growth
Physical vapor deposited nickel catalyst layers of 10, 50, 100, 200, 350, and 500 were granulated using hydrogen plasma for varying times to determine an effective carbon nanotube (CNT) growth process using microwave plasma enhanced CVD (MPECVD). Nickel was deposited via sputtering or evaporation. The catalyst granule size, density, and resulting CNTs were analyzed. Sputtered nickel of 50 w...
