Catalytic decomposition of a lower hydrocarbon to produce hydrogen and bamboo carbon nanotube containing no carbon dioxide

摘要

In accordance with the present subject matter there is provided a process for catalytic decomposition of lower hydrocarbons to produce carbon oxides free hydrogen and bamboo shaped carbon nanotubes over a catalyst composition. The process for catalytic decomposition of lower hydrocarbons comprises contacting lower hydrocarbon over a catalyst composition, where the catalyst composition comprising, a catalyst, at least one modifying agent and a support material.
