Functionalized carbon nanofibers (CNF) are fascinating materials to be used as supports in Pd-based catalysts for the treatment of waste chloroform (TCM) to produce light olefins through the catalytic hydrodechlorination (HDC). The CNF were functionalized by HNO3, HCl, and urea. Compared to the Pd s...
