Abstract
A direct strategy for the creation of defects on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) has been developed by steam treatment. Nitrogen physisorption, XRD, Raman spectra, SEM and TEM analyses proved the existence of the new defects on CNFs. BET surface area of CNFs after steam treatment was enhanced from 20 to 378 m2/g. Pd catalysts supported on CNFs were also prepared by colloidal deposition method. The different activity of Pd/CNFs catalysts in the partial hydrogenation of phenylacetylene further demonstrated the diverse surfaces of CNFs could be formed by steam treatment.
