Abstract:Supported nickel catalysts have been prepared by coating mesoporous silica with nickel oxide through a sol-gel coating technology, other than the conventional impregnation procedure. Sol-gel nickel oxide coatings were first synthesized using nickel nitrate and lactic acid as precursors and then, deposited on the support of mesoporous silica SBA-15. Various synthetic parameters, such as the nickel/lactic acid molar ratio for the synthesis of the sol-gel coatings and the nickel/SBA-15 ratio for the preparation o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
