Abstract

Highly ordered mesoporous Ni nanowires were synthesized by Ni electroless plating on the amine-functionalized SBA-15 (NH2−SBA-15) support, followed by removing the silica template with NaOH. The incorporation of amine groups into the pore channels and the subsequent activation of NH2−SBA-15 with PdCl2 acetone solution are essential for generating Pd crystal seeds distributed in the pore channels. As a result, the following Ni electroless plating occurred mainly in pore channels, leading to the formation of ordered Ni nanowires catalyst with high surface area, ordered mesopore arrangement, and higher activity than Raney Ni in liquid-phase p-chloronitrobenzene hydrogenation.
