Abstract
Very uniformly distributed Ni/MgO catalyst islands patterned on a silicon substrate were obtained using the microcontact printing (μ CP) technique. The catalyst precursor solution contained the component metal nitrates, citric acid, water and 2-propanol. The size, thickness and composition of the catalyst islands are tunable and controllable. The carbon deposition reaction was conducted on the patterned catalyst islands. This μ CP technique is flexible to pattern catalyst islands with and without supports.
