Controlling the Ni/Fe molar ratio and temperature to convert waste plastics into high-quality carbon nanotubes

Key Points

• High-quality carbon nanotubes were produced through precise control of the Ni/Fe molar ratio and temperature during the conversion process.
• The optimal conditions involved a ratio of 1:1 Ni/Fe and a temperature of 800 degrees Celsius, yielding superior nanotube quality.
• Conversion employed a novel technique specifically designed for waste plastics, enhancing the feasibility of recycling pathways.
• This underscores the importance of optimizing parameters for effective waste conversion into valuable materials like carbon nanotubes.
