process for producing hydrogen gas and carbon nanotubes from the catalytic degradation of ethanol

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for the production of hydrogen gas and carbon nanotubes from catalytic decomposition of ethanol. More particularly, the invention relates to a process for preparing hydrogen gas and carbon nanotubes from catalytic decomposition of bioethanol over a Ni/La 2 O 3 catalyst is obtainable by H 2 reduction of a LaNiO 3 perovskite catalyst precursor. Additionally, the present invention relates to the use of a Ni/La 2 O 3 catalyst obtainable by H 2 reduction of a LaNiO 3 perovskite catalyst precursor in the manufacture of hydrogen gas and carbon nanotubes from gaseous ethanol.
