Nickel carbide (Ni<sub>3</sub>C) nanoparticles for catalytic hydrogenation of model compounds in solvent
Rémi F. André, Léna Meyniel, Sophie Carenco
Abstract
Nickel carbide nanoparticles (Ni 3 C) synthesized in high-boiling point solvent are used as colloidal catalysts for the hydrogenation of polar groups and hydrocarbons. They are stable under operating conditions (100 °C, 7 bar H 2 ).
