The invention relates to a chemical reactor with a nanometric superstructure, comprising at least one member wherein at least one reaction chamber is arranged, and said reaction chamber being filled at least partially with a high specific surface area material having a specific surface area greater than 5 m 2 /g, and characterized in that said high specific surface area material is selected from nanotubes or nanofibers. n These nanotubes or nanofibers are preferably selected in the group consisting of carbon nanofibers or nanotubes, β-SiC nanofibers or nanotubes, TiO 2 nanofibers or nanotubes. n They may be deposited on an intermediate structure selected in the group consisting of glass fibers, carbon fibers, SiC foams, carbon foams, alveolar β-SiC foams, said intermediate structure filling the reaction chamber of said reactor at least partially. |
