Carbon nanofiber coated monolith with a homogeneous and consistent layer was prepared by catalytic decomposition of benzene on iron catalyst. A comparative study was carried out on carbon nanofiber growth onto bare monolith, acid modified monolith and wash-coat alumina monolith. The catalyst was pre...
