The La2NiO4 film was synthesized on the 304 stainless steel (SS) mesh. The hydrogen reduction of La2NiO4 generated homogeneous nanocatalyst particles (probably Ni/La2O3) over which methane was cracked, producing carbon nanotubes/microfibers and hydrogen. The carbon nanotubes/microfibers were strongly bonded to the SS mesh. It was observed that the methane conversion always reached its maximum a...
