  1. If nothing else in the synthesis of NCM, it is the catalyst that ultimately determines the quality, quantity, and overall structure of the final products. It is most important to realize that careful control of the synthesis and treatment of the catalyst prior to synthesis of NCMs is necessary to achieve the desired results. Above is a simple illustration of the various types of NCMs obtained from identical conditions (CO/H 2 feed gas, 600°C) but with different catalysts. The left structure is a platelet structure, where the graphite is oriented perpendicular to the fiber axis; the middle is a fishbone structure with graphite planes oriented at some angle with respect to the fiber axis; and the final right structure is a tubular structure (nanotube) with graphite planes forming a hollow cylinder. Each catalyst used in the reaction is different: iron (Fe) for platelets, iron-nickel (FeNi) for fishbone, and cobalt (Co) for tubular.
