Synthesis of hybrid carbon–nickel (C–Ni) nanocomposite was performed with [C₆₀] fullerene and Ni hydroxide in an electric furnace at 700°C for 2 h. The resulting product was characterised by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. The catalytic reduction of 2-nitrophenol using the hybrid nanocomposite was investigated by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy. Kinetic study showed that reduction of 2-nitrophenol in the presence of sodium borohydride with the hybrid C–Ni nanocomposite was followed a pseudo-first-order reaction law.
