Graphene-like nanostructures: synthesis and use for preparation of catalysts and hydrogen storage composites

Resumo

The results of the works aimed at synthesis of graphene-like nanomaterials by reduction of graphite oxide are summarized. The problems encountered on preparing graphene-metal catalysts applied in hydrogenation processes and reactions of decomposition of hydrocarbons to produce carbon nanofibers are discussed. Development of magnesium-graphene hydrogen storage composites is considered. The optimal preparation conditions and the functional characteristics of the obtained materials are given.
