To bridge physical mixing to chemical bonding? Use an electron beam! Individual carbon nanofibers can grow from physical mixing of amorphous carbon and Ce 0.8 Gd 0.2 O 1.9 /Ni nanoparticles, under an electron beam in a 300 kV transmission electron microscope, without any gaseous carbon source and external heating, as a consequence of strong metal support interaction effect occurring in the mixtures.
