Graphite nanofibers are a newly developed type of material produced by the catalytic decomposition of carbon containing gases at high temperatures. The individual components of these conformations, small-sized graphite crystallites, are arranged in such a manner that only the edge regions are exposed. The carbon atoms at these sites that are arranged in two conformations, “armchair” or “zigzag”, act as templates for the nucleation of metal crystallites. Treatment of graphite with certain phosphorus compounds is a process that is known to result in preferential blocking of the “armchair” faces, whereas boron oxide selectively substitutes into the “zigzag” faces. In the current investigation pretreatment in phosphorus oxide was found to exert little or no effect on the subsequent catalytic performance of graphite nanofiber supported nickel with respect to hydrogenation of ethylene and 1-butene. In contrast, incorporation of boron into the carbonaceous support, which resulted in blockage of the “zigzag” site...
