Preparation and catalytic properties of single phase Ni–Sn intermetallic compound particles by CVD of Sn(CH3)4 onto Ni/silica
Abstract
Particles of each of the single phase Ni–Sn intermetallic compounds Ni3Sn, Ni3Sn2 and Ni3Sn4 have been formed on silica by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of Sn(CH3)4 onto Ni/SiO2 and used as catalysts for cyclohexane dehydrogenation.
