AB  - The Ni/Y2O3 catalyst showed high catalytic activity. Based on this, the aim of 
      this study was to create Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposites powder with two innovative 
      technologies, Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis (USP) and lyophilisation. In the USP 
      process, thermal decomposition of the generated aerosols in an N2/H2 reduction 
      atmosphere caused a complete decomposition of the nickel (II) nitrate to 
      elemental Ni, which became trapped on the formed Y2O3 nanoparticles. The Ni/Y2O3 
      nanocomposite particles were captured via gas washing in an aqueous solution of 
      polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in collection bottles. PVP was chosen for its ability 
      to stabilise nano-suspensions and as an effective cryoprotectant. Consequently, 
      there was no loss or agglomeration of Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposite material during the 
      lyophilisation process. The Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposite powder was analysed using 
      ICP-MS, SEM-EDX, and XPS, which showed the impact of different precursor 
      concentrations on the final Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposite particle composition. In a 
      final step, highly concentrated Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposite ink (Ni/Y2O3 > 0.140 g/mL) 
      and test coatings from this ink were prepared by applying them on a white matte 
      photo paper sheet. The reflection curve of the prepared Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposite 
      coating showed a local maximum at 440 nm with a value of 39% reflection. Given 
      that Ni is located on the surface of the Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposite in the elemental 
      state and according to the identified properties, tests of the catalytic 
      properties of this coating will be performed in the future.
