Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were prepared on Ni metal catalyst at 500 o C by thermal CVD using acetylene as a carbon source in fixed bed reactor. To obtain pure CNFs without metal catalyst, as-prepared CNFs were treated in hot nitric acid. The morphological changes for as-prepared and nitric acid treated CNFs were investigated by means of SEM and TEM. After this purification process, the eliminated...
