Hey,
Raney nickel is a substance made up of nickel or rather an alloy of nickel and aluminium which is a very strong catalyst and is used as a reagent for many hydrogenation reactions.
This type of nickel is also called as skeletal catalyst sometimes.
It can be used as a catalyst in a number of reactions like hydrogenation of benzene into cyclohexane or in desulfurization of thioacetal.
I hope this helps.
All the best!
