Abstract
Nickel nanoparticles synthesized from NiCl2·6H2O by hydrazine hydrate in mixed solvent of ethanol and water in the presence of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) as protective and stabilizing agents. The morphology and sizes of synthesized Ni nanoparticles were studied by field-emission-scanning-electron microscopy (FESEM). Structural properties of nanoparticles were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The polymer stabilized Ni nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The magnetic measurement showed that the resultant Ni nanoparticles were ferromagnetic. Also, the saturation magnetization (MS), remanent magnetization (MR) and coercivity (MR) were observed to increase with decreasing temperature. The results of magnetic characterization showed that the magnetic properties of the HPMC stabilized Ni nanoparticles are quite different from those of the bared Ni nanoparticles. All the observed magnetic properties essentially reflected the very typical nanoparticle type nature. Consequently, the resulting Ni nanoparticles were found to be highly active and recyclable catalyst for Suzuki coupling reactions.
