The deposition was carried out through the Brownian motion of water pools in the reverse microemulsion and the adsorption of water pools on the electrode surface. Effects of electrolytic parameters on the size of Ni particles were studied. The performances of hydrogen evolution and hydrogen storage of the Ni nanoparticles plating electrode were also investigated. The results indicate that the size of Ni nanoparticles decreases with the increase of Ni2+ concentration and the decrease of current density. The electrochemical activity of Ni nanoparticles plating electrode is much higher than that of bulk Ni electrode.展开更多

A series of Pd-Ni bimetallic NPs were readily achieved by reduction of PdC12 and Ni（acac）2 （acac = acetyl- acetonate） in the presence of oleylamine （OAm）, oleic acid （OA） and benzyl alcohol. Furthermore, by using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy （HRTEM）, energy-dispersive spectrometry （EDS） mapping and X-ray diffraction （XRD）, we demonstrate that the as-prepared Pd-Ni bimetallic NPs have core-shell structures with a Pd-rich core and a Ni-rich shell. In addition, the as-obtained Pd-Ni bimetallic NPs with varying compositions show excellent catalytic activities in the Miyaura-Suzuki reaction. When the nickel molar percentage was 0.23 to 0.65, the conversion with the as-obtained Pd-Ni bimetallic catalysts was above 90%. It is believed that this strategy can be employed to produce a variety of other well-defined core-shell type multimetallic nanostructures.展开更多

The preparation method is fast and simple. The structures,morphology and magnetic properties of the as-synthesized samples were investigated using Raman spectrometer,X-ray diffraction (XRD),transmission electron microscopy (TEM),vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM),respectively. The XRD results suggested that Ni particles used as a catalyst in our experiment were nano-sized. In this paper,magnetic Ni nanoparticles were employed as a catalyst,and an electric spark on metal Ni nanoparticles with the microwave eddy current effect could induce CNTs’ formation with the further reaction. The length of hollow carbon nanotubes was micro-sized and the diameters of most of the CNTs were varying from 18 to 20 nm according to the TEM images. Magnetic measurements demonstrated that CNTs with core-shell structure indicated a characteristic ferromagnetic behavior compared with Ni nanoparticles.展开更多
