Monodisperse Nanoparticles of Ni and NiO: Synthesis, Characterization, Self‐Assembled Superlattices, and Catalytic Applications in the Suzuki Coupling Reaction

Monodisperse spherical Ni nanoparticles with diameters of 2 nm, 5 nm, and 7 nm were synthesized from the thermal decomposition of a Ni–oleylamine complex. Ni nanocrystal superlattices were generated via the controlled evaporation of solvent (see Figure). The nanoparticles were successfully used as c... View More
