Abstract

The present study focuses on the effect of the metal-modification method (ion-exchange or impregnation) and of the type of dealumination procedure (steaming, AHFS) of zeolite-Y on the quantity, quality and properties of the carbon nanotubes that are formed on the supported iron or cobalt oxides. Severe dealumination of zeolite-Y by steaming, which induced secondary meso/macropores, resulted in significant decrease in the carbon nanotube formation activity of the metal-impregnated zeolite-Y catalysts, while moderate dealumination by ammonium hexafluorosilicate had a less pronounced effect. The micro-Raman spectra revealed the presence of high quality as-grown CNTs with low degree of disordered.
