Nickel-Fe3O4 nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Ni-Fe3O4/MWCNTs) were synthesized by mechanical grinding of a sample of nickel salt, Fe3O4 and MWCNTs using a ball-mill mixer. The preparation method allows for bulk production of Ni-Fe3O4 nanoparticles at room temperature without the necessity of any solvent or chemical reagent. The nanoparticles prepared by this method exhibit small particles size of 5-8 nm with uniform dispersion of nickel nanoparticles on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The Ni-Fe3O4/MWCNTs demonstrated remarkable catalytic activity for Suzuki cross coupling reactions of functionalized aryl halides and phenylboronic acids with excellent turnover number and turnover frequency (e.g., 76,000 h(-1)) using Monowave 50 conventional heating reactor at 120 degrees C within a very short reaction time of 15 min. The catalyst is air-stable and exhibits easy removal from the reaction mixture due to its magnetic properties, recyclability with no loss of activity, and significantly better performance than the other well-known commercial nickel catalyst. The Ni-Fe3O4/MWCNTs nanoparticles were fully characterized by a variety of spectroscopic techniques including X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Since nickel offers similar properties to other more expensive transition metals including the most widely used palladium counterpart in cross coupling catalysis, this work demonstrates a promising lower-cost, air-moisture stable and efficient alternative catalyst based on nickel nanoparticles for cross coupling reactions.
