Nickel nitrate → Nitric Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A prescribed quantity of a nano-crystal diamond film was immersed in a saturated aqueous solution of nickel nitrate and left to stand overnight. Thereafter, water was allowed to evaporate to obtain dried catalyst precursor, which was then sintered in a nitrogen gas atmosphere at a temperature ranging from 400° C. to 500° C., thus removing nitric acid and residual nickel nitrate and obtaining a metal-carrying nano-crystal diamond catalyst.
