PRODUCTION OF CARBON NANOFIBERS AND NANOTUBES BY CATALYTIC PYROLYSIS OF METHANE

摘要

The authors offer an overview of works devoted to the production of carbon nanofibers and nanotubes (CNF/NT) by catalytic pyrolysis of hydrocarbon-containing gases. Brief information is given on CNF/NTs. Various reactors used for the synthesis of carbonaceous nanostructures and methods of their growing are considered. Special attention is focused on the synthesis of CNF/NTs by catalytic pyrolysis of methane.
