Carbon nanofibers (diameter range, 3–100 nm; length range, 0.1–1000 µm) have been
known for a long time as a nuisance that often emerges during catalytic conversion of carbon-…

The reduction of manganese oxides with methane was studied to investigate the suitability
of manganese as an oxygen storage compound. Manganese oxides are reduced by CH 4 to …

Work is reviewed on the synthesis of supported metal and metal oxide catalysts using
impregnation of an aqueous solution of chelated metal ions followed by drying. The nature of the …

Carbon nanofibres of the fishbone and parallel types were surface‐oxidised by several
methods. The untreated and oxidised fibres were studied with infrared spectroscopy, …

Background Nanoparticle (NP) toxicity testing comes with many challenges. Characterization
of the test substance is of crucial importance and in the case of NPs, agglomeration/…

Silica-supported copper particles of high thermostability have been subjected to oxidation-reduction
treatments after which the metal particle size, the surface structure, and the catalytic …

Homogeneous deposition-precipitation on either a silica or carbon nanofiber (CNF) support
of cobalt from basic solution using ammonia evaporation was studied and compared with …

The rates of metal aluminate formation inMeO x /Al 2 O 3 systems (Me=Ni, Co, Cu, Fe) at 500–1000C
in O 2 or N 2 atmospheres were compared, using bothα-Al 2 O 3 andγ-Al 2 O 3 …

Magnesium dihydride contains 7.7 wt % hydrogen. However, its application for hydrogen
storage is impeded by its high stability and slow kinetics. Bringing the size of Mg(H 2 ) into the …

The thermal decomposition of hydrotalcites (HTs) with different interlayer anions in the 298–523
K region has been investigated by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), …
