The Effect of Co/Pd MgO Supported Catalyst Calcination Temperature on the Yield and Morphology of CNTs via Methane Decomposition

Article Preview

Abstract:

Co/Pd bi metallic catalyst supported on MgO has been prepared by sol gel method, at different calcination temperatures of 250 and 550 C. They were introduced in to the reactor for 5 hrs of reaction. The CNTs were collected. The obtained CNTs were characterized by XRD and SEM and the yield was observed. It has been concluded that the catalyst calcined at higher temperature will lead to higher yield and more uniform and smaller diameter CNTs.
