Atomic Insights into the Melting Behavior of Metallic Nano-catalysts
In the present study, molecular dynamics simulations have been utilized to provide fundamental understanding of melting behavior of pure Pd and Pt nanoparticles with the size of 10 nm in diameter, both free and graphene-supported during continuous heating. The embedded atom method is employed to model the metal-metal interactions, whereas a Lennard-Jones potential is applied to describe the met...

متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulations of Catalytic CVD Process of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes from Alcohol and from Fullerene
Investigation of the formation mechanism is crucial in order to develop a large scale, high-purity, and chirality-controlled generation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Recently, we have developed a high-quality synthesis technique of SWNTs at relatively low-temperature by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) technique using alcohol as the carbon source [1]. In addition, we have...
متن کاملPreparation of a Novel Super Active Fischer-Tropsch Cobalt Catalyst Supported on Carbon Nanotubes
The potential of carbon nanotubes (CNT) supported cobalt catalysts for Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reaction is shown. Using the wet impregnation method cobalt on carbon nanotubes catalysts were prepared with cobalt loading varying from 15 to 45 wt. %. The catalysts are characterized by different methods including: BET physisorption, X-ray diffraction, hydrogen chemisorption, and temperature-progra...
متن کاملClassical molecular dynamics simulations of carbon nanofiber nucleation: the effect of carbon concentration in Ni carbide.
The atomic-scale nucleation mechanism of vapor-grown carbon nanofibers (CNFs) is investigated using classical molecular dynamics simulations with a developed parameterization. Carbon precipitation and graphene plane formation are simulated, taking into account the carbon concentration (CC) in Ni carbide. The simulated results show that the carbon atoms formed sp(2) networks or sp chains in the ...
