N-containing fibrous carbon material prepared by decomposition of CH4/H-2/p
yridine mixtures over Ni-Cu catalysts has been studied by X-Ray Photoelectr
on Spectroscopy (XPS) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The essen
tial effect of the decomposition temperature (in the range of 820-1020 K) a
nd reaction mixture composition on the nitrogen content, its chemical state
and the texture of produced carbon filaments was found. (C) 2000 Elsevier
