Hierarchical nanocrystalline NiO with coral-like structure derived from nickel galactarate dihydrate: An active mesoporous catalyst for methyl ethyl ketone production

Nanocrystalline NiO with a coral-like structure (38 nm) has been prepared via thermal decomposition of a new precursor, nickel galactarate (NiC6H8O8·2H2O), at 500 °C for 3 h in air. Thermal decomposition of that precursor was studied by TG and DSC techniques. The resultant NiO was physicochemically...
