Synthesis of supported nickel catalysts in dynamic vacuum using nickel formate as precursor

The innovative method of synthesis of supported nickel catalysts from nickel formate as a precursor is proposed. The conditions of dynamic vacuum allow one to reduce the temperature of nickel formate decomposition, to minimize the agglomeration of metal particles, and to exclude the high-temperature stage of hydrogen reduction. The derived catalysts demonstrate high catalytic activity and are easily regenerated.
