Synthesis of graphitic nanofibres using iron (III) oxide catalyst for hydrogen storage application

Graphitic nanofibres were synthesised using the chemical vapour decomposition method with ethylene (C2H4) as the carbon feedstock and iron (III) oxide as the catalyst. A parametric study was conducted to determine the optimum conditions for producing graphitic nanofibres by applying the Taguchi meth...
