Abstract: A series of rapidly quenched skeletal Ni catalysts were prepared by alkali leaching of Ni-Al alloys solidified at different cooling rates. It has been found that the higher cooling rate leads to more residual Ni2Al3 phase, lower surface area, larger average pore size and porosity, smaller mean crystallite size, larger unit-cell parameter and more uniform active site. The relationship between the structure and catalytic behavior of the rapidly quenched skeletal Ni was discussed by using cinnamaldehyde selective hydrogenation as the probe reaction.
