Reduction of Hexavalent Chromium Using L-Cysteine Capped Nickel Nanocatalysts

The aim of this study was to reduce the highly toxic hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) into less toxic chromium Cr(III) species by using nickel nanoparticles (Ni NPs) as catalysts in order to provide safety to the aqueous environment. In the first phase Ni NPs were synthesized in ethylene glycol and capped...
