Application of Carbon Nanomaterials as Supports in Heterogeneous Catalysis

The overall objective of this project is to investigate the application of carbon nanomaterials as support in heterogeneous catalysis. In the study, carbon nanomaterials such as single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), carbon replica of zeolites and activated...
