Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the dissociation process of ethanol on metal nanoparticles of Ni, Co, Fe and FeCo alloy was investigated by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations for the purpose of the selective synthesis of high quality carbon nanotubes and graphene by controlling the dissociation process of carbon source molecules. We revealed the difference in the preferential dissociation path depending on the elements of catalytic metals. For example, C-C and C-O bonds are preferentially dissociated on Fe and FeCo nanoparticles, respectively.
