Carbon structures obtained by the disproportionation of carbon monoxide over nickel catalysts

Govindaraj A, Sen R, Santra AK, Nagaraju BV

disproportionation of CO over 18% Ni/MgO and 18% Ni/AlPO4 catalysts has been studied at different temperatures. The nature of carbonaceous deposits over metal particles after the reaction has been examined by transmission electron microscopy. Carbon nanotubes are obtained by the disproportionation of CO over Ni/MgO at 700 degrees C.
