Metallic nickel nanoparticles were prepared primarily as catalysts for the thermal decomposition of methane to produce hydrogen. Nickel particle aggregates with controlled crystalline size and primary particle size were prepared first by the precipitation of nickel nitrate and oxalic acid in ethanol...
