The CNTs obtained were characterized by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Thermal oxidation of CNTs in air was monitored thermogravimetrically (TG). The results revealed that a lower La/Ni ratio of the catalysts would lead to a wider diameter distribution and a higher degree of graphitic nature.展开更多
