2.2 Synthesis of carbon nanofibers (CNFs)
As shown in Figure 2, a flowing laboratory setup was used for the synthesis of the CNFs consisted with an
integrated reactor. The electrocracking gas was displaced from the electrocracking gas storage by water through a
valve, regulated by a control valve, and operated at atmospheric pressure, as set by a water U-tube manometer. The
gas flow to the reactor was precisely regulated by calculating the gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) and then sent
into a rheometer to ensure that each sample was subjected to the selected GHSV.
