Immobilized carbon nanofibers as industrial catalyst for ODH reactions

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) have been immobilized onto carbon felt as the first step for their industrial application in oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) reactions, exhibiting stable performance with a high selectivity to styrene in the ODH of ethyl benzene at temperatures around 300 K lower than that of the actual industrial process, and inhibiting Problems of loose small particles when CNFs are used as catalyst in fixed-bed reactors.
