TLDR
In this article, hydrogen and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were decomposed to hydrogen and CNTs by microwave plasma, using Fe/Si catalyst activated by biased hydrogen plasma for various treatment times.Abstract:
Methane was decomposed to hydrogen and carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
by microwave plasma, using Fe/Si catalyst activated by biased (—150
V) hydrogen plasma for various treatment times. Upon exposure to biased
hydrogen plasma, the catalyst surface becomes lumpy within 1 min, coheres
between 5 and 10 min and forms particles after 20 min. The methane conversion
increased up to 93% over the treatment time of 5 min. The hydrogen yield showed
as similar tendency as the methane conversion and kept 83% at treatment time of 5
min. The treatment time up to 1 min increased the amount of deposited carbon,
and after treatment time of 5 min it dropped; then again after treatment time
of 20 min, it increased to reach a maximum value of 22 gc/gcat.
Deposited carbon was found to be consisted of carbon nanotubes. It grew
vertically on the catalyst surface and reached a maximum length of 30.7 nm
after treatment time of 10 min. Multiple types of CNTs were present, and the CNT
diameters decreased with increasing plasma treatment time.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, a very brief summary of the synthesis of carbon nanomaterials is discussed, and microwave assisted carbon nano-materials seem to be the most promising method for possible industrial scale up due to the relatively low growth temperature, high surface area, high adsorption capacity, low pollution, and energy saving.
