Surface area and size distribution of metallic nickel particles

Nickel fine particles Nickel nanoparticles


Surface area (m2/g) 0.4 ± 0.01 4.36 ± 0.02
Average size 3.34 ± 0.67 (μm) 92.32 ± 29.69 (nm)

Surface area was determined by gas absorption and particle size by scanning electron microscopy. Values are means ± S.E. of six independent assays.
