      if memory serves, normally they are made in...     

if memory serves, normally they are made in situ from a Ni salt and NaBH4 and used for nitro reductions.

We are all just witnesses.

That would be nickel boride, a hydrogenation catalyst.

I assume you opened up some reloadable batteries and want to use the stuff inside for reductions? I doubt that you can do anything useful with it.

I'm not fat just horizontally disproportionate.
