Abstract
A low-temperature route for the chemical synthesis of diverse carbon nanoforms, including nano-onions and multi-walled nanotubes, is described. The method involves thermal decomposition of a sebacate-intercalated NiFe LDH at 400 °C and benefits from the catalytic activity of FeNi3 nanoparticles generated in situ.Keywords
