Abstract: Provided herein is a novel silica-supported nickel nanocomposite and a novel one-pot solution combustion synthesis of that nanocomposite. The method allows the synthesis of small size nickel nanoparticles (e.g., 3 nm to 40 nm) for which a considerable percentage of nickel is inserted into silica, experiencing strong metal-support interaction. These exceptional physicochemical properties make them desirable for various industrial applications, such as electronic, heterogeneous catalysis as well as conversion and storage of energy.
