Direct decomposition of methane was carried out using a fixed-bed reactor at 700oC for the production of COx-free hydrogen and carbon nanofibers. The catalytic performance of NiOM/ SiO2 catalysts (where M = AgO, CoO, CuO, FeO, MnOx, and MoO) in methane decomposition was investigated. The experimenta...
