Controlling Carbon Surface Chemistry by Alloying:Carbon Tolerant Reforming Catalyst

摘要

Controlling carbon chemistry on metal surfaces is important in the fields of heterogeneous catalysis and nanotechnology.Controlled formation of C-C bonds is instrumental for carbon nanotube synthesis.On the other hand,in hydrocarbon steam reforming,the formation of extended carbon deposits such as graphite or nanotubes leads to catalyst poisoning.
