Production of carbon nanofibers in high yields using a sodium chloride support
Article Abstract:
A highly convenient scalable production of carbon nanofibers on a sodium chloride support is developed. The use of electron microscopy (SEM, TEM) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) indicates that the catalytically grown carbon has relatively little thermal overgrowth and possesses either a herringbone or a semi-ordered nanostructure, depending on growth conditions.

Nickel formate route to the growth of carbon nanotubes
Article Abstract:
Nickel formate serves as an ideal catalyst precursor for surface-bound thermal and plasma-enhanced CVD growth of carbon nanotubes. As the method of deposition of the Ni catalyst is solution-based, it benefits from a low-cost, large-area growth, ease of operation and suitability for coating substrates with complex shapes and structures.

Magnetic properties of monodisperse NiHx nanoparticles and comparison to those of monodisperse Ni nanoparticles
Article Abstract:
Monodisperse NiHx nanoparticles with particle diameters of 7.0 nm are produced and their magnetic properties are investigated. The magnetic properties of NiHx nanoparticles were quite different from those of Ni nanoparticles.
