Journal Article
Chai, S. P., Zein, S. H. S., & Mohamed, A. R. (2006). COx-Free Hydrogen and Carbon Nanofibers Produced from Direct Decomposition of Methane on Nickel-Based Catalysts. Journal of natural gas chemistry / Chengdu Institute of Organic Chemistry, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 15(4), 253-258. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1003-9953%2807%2960002-4

Direct decomposition of methane was carried out using a fixed-bed reactor at 700 °C for the production of CO x -free hydrogen and carbon nanofibers. The catalytic performance of NiO-M/SiO 2 catalysts (where M=AgO, CoO, CuO, FeO, MnO x and MoO) in met...

Moderate temperature synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes on alumina supported nickel oxide catalyst (2006)
Journal Article
Chai, S. P., Zein, S. H. S., & Mohamed, A. R. (2007). Moderate temperature synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes on alumina supported nickel oxide catalyst. Materials letters, 61(16), 3519-3521. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matlet.2006.11.108

A simple nickel oxide catalyst has been developed in synthesizing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) at moderate temperature. The catalyst used in the experiment was without a preceding reduction in hydrogen flow. The synthesis of SWNTs was perfo...

Y-junction carbon nanotubes were grown by catalytic CVD of methane at 700 {ring operator} C on NiO-CuO-MoO(7:2:1) (w/w/w)/SiO 2 catalyst. For comparison, NiO-CuO(8:2) (w/w)/SiO 2 and NiO-MoO(8:2) (w/w)/SiO 2 catalysts were tested for carbon nanotube...
