SYNTHESIS OF NITROGEN-CONTAINING CARBON NANOFIBERS BY ETHYLENE/AMMONIA DECOMPOSITION

摘要

A simple and efficient method for the production of nitrogen-containing carbon nanofibers by decomposition of ethylene/ammonia mixture over metal catalysts was developed. This technique allows regulating nitrogen content and its electronic state in graphitic lattice as well as structural and textural characteristics of N-CNF materials. Ascertained physicochemical dependencies allow to control characteristics of produced N-CNFs and to synthesize the materials with desired properties.
