“…36 Recently, nickel salts/complexes have been extensively used in o-arylation of esters, 37 hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, cyclization, cycloaddition, and multicomponent reactions. 38,39 Nickel nanoparticles and their oxides have emerged as efficient catalysts in hydrogenolysis, 40,41 dehydrogenation, 42 condensation reactions, 43,44 reduction reactions, 45 and C-C bond formation. [46][47][48] A perusal of the literature reveals that Ni(OH) 2 NPs have been used in the field of electrocatalysis, [49][50][51][52][53] photocatalysis, [54][55][56][57] supercapacitors, [58][59][60][61] and heterogeneous catalysis, [62][63][64] yet Ni(OH) 2 NPs remain relatively less explored in the arena of catalysis.…”
