title: Ni-promoted synthesis of graphitic carbon nanotubes from in situ produced graphitic carbon for dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene.
abstract: Graphitic carbon nanotubes (GCNTs) were fabricated from in situ produced graphitic carbon by calcining biomass/melamine/Ni(NO3)2·6H2O. Ni-based hybrids (NiOx@GCNTs) displayed superior catalytic capacity in direct dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene. The specific reaction rate can reach up to 8.1 μmol m(-2) h(-1), and unprecedented stability was obtained over 165 h without any activation process.
