Work by the OMCat team highlighted by the CNRS: Nickel nanoparticles for safer, more efficient and selective hydrogenation under mild conditions

The work of the OMCat team on the use of nickel nanoparticles for hydrogenation has been highlighted on the CNRS Chemistry website. This work is the result of a collaboration coordinated by Christophe Michon (LIMA) between chemists from LIMA, ICPEES and the National Chemical Laboratory Pune in India. These results, published in the Journal of Catalysis, pave the way for a new generation of nickel catalysts that are more selective and energy efficient. Ultimately, fine-tuning the ligands and environment of the nanoparticles could lead to the design of even more efficient catalysts, adapted to the growing demands of a more efficient and sustainable industrial chemistry.
