Electrochemical synthesis of ultra microdispersed catalyst for the production of carbon nano-structured materials

Abstract

A technology for electrochemical synthesis catalyst to produce carbon nano materials (CNM) on the basis of first Russian industrial production of «NanoTechCenter» company from Tambov. A new method for the synthesis of ultra microdispersed catalyst based on nickel oxide for CNM, featuring the ability to control the size of catalyst particles at the stage of production and a high level of environmental safety. The experimentally determined the optimal parameters of the catalyst synthesis that create new nanoscale materials with specified physical and chemical characteristics. There are investigations of the electrochemical destruction of metallic nickel on an alternating current at frequencies from 10 Hz to 200 Hz in an alkaline medium with the formation of ultrafine powders of nickel oxide and determine their characteristics. No analogue experimental setup is designed for studying the kinetics of the obtaining of carbon nanostructured materials with a combined method of heating the reaction zone having an induction component. First studied the kinetics of the CNM receipt for the catalysts synthesized by the developed technology and their morphology by scanning and transmission microscopy.
