A series of in situ hot stage experiments using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were studied to directly observe the transition a Ni-MOF Ni nanoparticles wrapped carbon (Ni-NPC) over temperatures ranging from ambient temperature 700 °C. Ni-NPC-600 displays high catalytic activity 4-nitrophenol reduction and conversion, even after 10 cycles.
