Relationship between the micro-structure of cobalt-molybdenum catalysts supported on silica and the selectivity towards single-walled carbon nanotubes.

Resasco, Daniel E.,Lolli, Giulio.2013-08-162013-08-162007http://hdl.handle.net/11244/1257The ability to selectively produce a specific (n, m) helicity of SWNT is a major break through for the industry and research. In this contribution we investigated the requirements needed for having high selectivity of SWNT and in the specific what determines the (n, m) diameter distribution of the product.xiv, 162 leaves :Catalysts.Carbon.Nanotubes.Engineering, Chemical.Relationship between the micro-structure of cobalt-molybdenum catalysts supported on silica and the selectivity towards single-walled carbon nanotubes.Thesis
