Characterization and development of a Ni-based catalysts for the Conversion of methane into H2 and solid carbon


EMSL Project ID
51211

Abstract

The overall objective of this study is to investigate a recent catalyst innovation that enables the stable conversion of methane to CO2-free H2 and solid carbon. The solid carbon is selectively formed as carbon nanotubes (CNT) and carbon fibers (CF) instead of amorphous carbon. We intend to advance the technology by understanding the catalytic active site and the mechanism through advanced characterization techniques and computational studies.
