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.
