Abstract

Metallic nanoparticles may be tailored to obtain specific size and morphology. In this work we present the synthesis of Ni/TiO2 catalysts by a photodeposition method. Our investigation included the photochemical and photocatalytic reduction of the nickel organometallic precursor (Ni (II) acetylacetonate) over titania (Degussa P-25) support. The photo-reduction kinetics was followed by UV-Vis and the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). According to the results, the photochemical reduction of the Ni precursor was only 30% at λ= 254 nm, whereas, the photocatalytic route was approximately 90 % (λ= 365 nm) yielding Ni nanoparticles with diameter ranging from 10 to 40 nm.
