Abstract

Abstract : Ni(0)/CNFs was one-dimensional morphology, and the average size of Ni nanoparticles sheathed by CNFs is 14 nm. Solid Ni(0)/CNFs can catalyse Heck reaction high-efficiently. Abstract : Nickel, as an inexpensive and abundant transition metal, is widely used in the field of catalysis. A novel one-dimensional carbon nanofiber-supported Ni(0) composite catalyst (Ni(0)/CNFs) was prepared in this work, and its catalytic properties in the Heck reaction were explored. Compared with conventional nickel–ligand catalyst systems, the solid Ni(0)/CNFs composite catalyst has unique advantages. Ni(0)/CNFs does not require ligands or complexes, which results in high efficiency and is beneficial for reuse in the Heck reaction.
