monometallic and bimetallic ni and co catalytic nanoparticles supported on titanium dioxide (rutile phase) substrate were prepared by wet impregnation method. these nanoparicles were used as catalysts for synthesis of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) from acetylene decomposition at 700°c by the catalytic chemical vapor deposition (ccvd) technique. the nanomaterials (catalyst and cnts) were...

A systematic study was conducted to understand the influences of catalyst combination as Ni-Co NPs on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown by Chemical Vapor Deposition (TCVD). The DC-sputtering system was used to prepare Co and Ni-Co thin films on silicon substrate. Ni- Co nanoparticles were used as metal catalyst for growing carbon nanotubes from acetylene (C2H2) gas in 850 ̊ C during 15 min. Carb...

the effect of temperature variation on the growth of carbon nanotubes (cnts) using thermal chemical vapor deposition (tcvd) is presented. nickel and cobalt (ni-co) thin films on silicon (si) substrates were used as catalysts in tcvd technique. acetylene gas was used in cnts growth process at the controlled temperature ranges from 850-1000 ̊ c. catalysts and cnts characterization was carried out ...

Thin catalyst films with electrocatalytic water oxidation properties similar to those of a recently reported Co-based catalyst can be electrodeposited from dilute Ni(2+) solutions in borate electrolyte at pH 9.2 (B(i)). The Ni-B(i) films can be prepared with precise thickness control and operate at modest overpotential providing an alternative to the Co catalyst for applications in solar energy...

nanometric carbid silicon (sic) supported monometallic and bimetallic catalysts containing fe, co, ni transition metals were prepared by wet impregnation method. multiwall carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) were synthesized over the prepared catalysts from catalytic decomposition of acetylene at 850°c by thermal chemical vapor deposition (tcvd) technique. the synthesized nanomaterials (catalysts and cnt...

Ni/Al2O3, Co/Al2O3 and bimetallic Ni(Co)/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared using an impregnation method and employed in CO2 dry reforming of methane under coking-favored conditions. The spent catalysts were carefully characterized using typical characterization technologies and inelastic neutron scattering spectroscopy. The bimetallic catalyst exhibited a superior activity and anti-coking performan...

In order to examine whether catalyst granular size was a factor for tar removal and syngas composition enhancement, three Ni/char catalysts with 90-100 mesh (Ni/SC), 50-60 mesh (Ni/MC), and 20-30 mesh (Ni/LC) size were prepared with a mechanical mixing method and tested in an updraft gasifier. Reforming parameters investigated were the reaction temperature (650-850C), the Ni loading (5-20% of ...

The non-sulfided Ni-PTA/Al2O3 catalyst was developed to produce green diesel from the hydroprocessing of Jatropha oil. The Ni-PTA/Al2O3 catalyst was prepared by one-pot synthesis of Ni/Al2O3 with the co-precipitation method and then impregnanting Ni/Al2O3 with PTA solution. The catalysts were characterized with BET, SEM-EDX, TEM, XRD, XPS, TGA and NH3-TPD. The Ni and W species of the Ni-PTA/Al2...

Hydrogen production through steam reforming of ethanol was investigated with conventional supported nickel catalysts and a Ni-containing smectite-derived catalyst. The former is initially active, but significant catalyst deactivation occurs during the reaction due to carbon deposition. Side reactions of the decomposition of CO and CH4 are the main reason for the catalyst deactivation, and these...
