Abstract
Methods of forming and producing nanocatalysts mounted on or within nanofiber or nanotube structures are disclosed. The mounting structures prevent the nanocatalysts from agglomerating and retain the nanocatalysts in a reactor. The nanocatalysts may be grown over a bulk catalyst material without treating the nanotubes after forming the nanotubes. The resulting nanocatalysts remain catalytically active immediately after formation of the mounting supports and are effective in a wide variety of reactions. Systems are disclosed for reacting reaction gases to form mounting structures with at least one embedded nanocatalyst in the growth tips. The mounting structures may catalyze a different, subsequent reaction than the nanofiber formation reaction, which may take place in the same or a different reactor. Methods of forming a mass of nanocatalysts and catalyzing a reaction with the mass of nanocatalysts are disclosed. Systems are disclosed for forming a mass of nanocatalysts and catalyzing another reaction with the mass of nanocatalysts.
