Synthesis and characterization of Ni-Si mixed oxide nanocomposite as a catalyst for carbon nanotubes formation

Published in Materials Science-Poland

Ni-Si mixed oxide nanocomposite was prepared by co-precipitation method with Ni(NO3)2 · 6H2O and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) at pH = 10.5 under reflux condition for 6 days. It was then used as a catalyst for the formation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by CVD procedure. Characterization of the catalyst and the CNTs was carried out using X-ray diffra...
