Mesoporous FeNi alloy/graphitic carbon nanocomposites (FeNi/GCN) were synthesized.
High contents of FeNi alloy nanoparticles are well embedded into the graphitic carbon walls.
The obtained FeNi/GCN catalysts have a high surface area and uniform mesostructure.
The FeNi/GCN catalysts exhibited excellent catalytic performance in the cracking of toluene.
