Abstract
- The surface curvature of the carbon nanofibers (CNF) and the strong interaction between the metal and the graphene edges cause local deformation of metal nanoparticles, and thereby inducing a high degree of microstrain. Such lattice expansion has been shown to increase the activity of Ni crystals. This provides new opportunities to manipulate the catalytic activity of the metal. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
