Abstract

Atomically ordered nickel carbide, Ni₃C, was synthesized by reduction of nickel cyclopentadienyl (NiCp₂) with sodium naphthalide to form Ni clusters coordinated by Cp (Ni-Cp clusters). Ni-Cp clusters were thermally decomposed to Ni₃C nanoparticles smaller than 10 nm. The Ni₃C nanoparticles showed better performance than Ni nanoparticles and Au nanoparticles in the electrooxidation of sodium borohydride.
