Abstract
The production of carbon nano- and microfibers by pyrolysis of methane (mains gas) on three ZrO2 samples prepared by different methods, at 400–700°C, methane flow rates of 175–1050 mL/min, and process times up to 4 h was studied. Comparatively long carbon bamboo-like microfibers having diameters of 0.24–0.31 μm were found to form on ZrO2, their weights and linear growth rates were assessed, and the process was shown to not slow down over time. The electrical conductivities of the fibers were measured.
