Co-production of carbon nanotube and hydrogen via catalytic decomposition of methane
Hydrogen is now mass-produced via steam methane reforming with inevitable CO2 emission.
Our research is focused on developing novel catalysts which obtain hydrogen gas and carbon as the form of nanotube through decomposition of methane or natural gas.
The objective of this research is to produce valuable carbonaceous material and hydrogen without green house gas emission.
