title = "Large-scale synthesis of herringbone carbon nanofibers on nonsupported nickel catalyst",
abstract = "Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are synthesized at 450-650 °C by a catalytic CVD method using nickel powders reduced from nickel carbonate as catalyst without other supporting materials, and acetylene as carbon source. It is found that the nickel powders present a considerable catalytic efficiency in the growth of the CNFs at the temperature between 500-550 °C. TEM observation shows that a large portion of the product prepared at 550 °C have a helix-like shape and some CNFs are filled with nickel nanowires. HRTEM observation further reveals that the CNFs are herringbone-like and well graphitized. ",
