Abstract
) catalysts, but also showed better stability during the reaction. Calcination at 600 °C helps improve the active nickel dispersion, the reducibility of the NiCu catalyst, and the interaction of the NiCu-MS support, leading to the formation of fishbone and platelet carbon nanofibers via a tip-growth mechanism, resulting in the NiCu metals remaining active during the reaction.
