Pure Ni nanopowders were successfully prepared by the method of anodic arc discharged plasma with homemade experimental apparatus. The particle size, mircostructure and morphology of the particles by this process were characterized via X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the corresponding selected area electron diffraction (SAED); The specific surface area and pore parameters were investigated by multi-point full analysis of nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms at 77K by BrunauerEmmett-Teller (BET) surface area analyzer; The chemical composition were determined by X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry (XEDS) equipped in SEM and element analyze instrument. The experiment results indicate that the samples by this method with high purity, the crystal structure of the particles is as same as the bulk material, is fcc structure, with average particle sizes about 47nm, ranging from 20 to 70nm, and distributed uniformly in spherical chain shapes, the specific surface areavis 14.23m^2/g, pore volume of pore is 0.09cm^3/g and average pore diameter is 23nm.
