Investigation of Nanofiber Material Production by Catalytic Pyrolysis

Abstract

The article presents the most significant advantages and disadvantages inherent in methods for producing carbon nanomaterials. The most optimal method for obtaining nanofiber material has been determined, and today it is the method of low-temperature destruction (pyrolysis). The analysis of the catalysts with the identification of the most effective for the process of pyrolysis of associated gas. The operating characteristics of the experiment are described: temperature 600±50 °C; gas consumption per gram of catalyst 100 l/h; working medium: liquefied hydrogen. The results of research on the production of carbon nanofibers based on Nickel catalysts are presented. Photos of nanofibers of various sizes are presented.
