We will be highly thankful if scientist community help us to enhance the stability of our fabricated nickel nanoparticles using green chemistry approach. Please suggest which type of specific substances will be helpful for increasing the stability of Nickel nanoparticles.
It is better to use polymer for stabilization of nickel nanoparticles. Please refer :

Dear Dr. Suryabala,
Thank you so much for your kind answer concerning the nickel nanoparticles stability.
Thanking you,
With best regards,
Akhilesh Kumar Singh
I am a little confused about the stability in this question. Is it the stability of Ni nanoparticles during synthesis or its stability for the technological application afterwards?
Dear Dr. Ahmed, thanks a lot for your response. Actually, we want to enhance the stability of Nickel/Nickel nanoparticles during synthesis. However, it will be additional help from you concerning stability of Nickel nanoparticles for promising uses.
We use the conventional chemical reduction of metallic salts in our group using reducing agents like NaBH4 or ethylene glycol which may be quite different to your protocol. The use of stabilizers has been proven beneficial for controlling the particle size and preventing the particle aggregation. In particular, the KBr, as a capping agent, seems to be very useful. However, I can not claim these ideas may be useful for you since I do not know anything about the biogenic approach. However, I could assert that Ni has a very high surface energy and tendency to segregate to the surface compared to Pd, Au, and Rh.
