Abstract

Catalytic decomposition of ethanol over a series of Co/Al2O3 catalysts to synthesize hydrogen and multi-walled carbon nanotubes has been studied at temperatures between 500 and 800 °C. An optimum experimental condition for ethanol decomposition has been investigated. The results show that Co/Al2O3 is an effective catalyst for the production of hydrogen and carbon nanotubes at the relatively low temperature of 600 °C. The reaction pathways of ethanol decomposition are suggested according to the products.
