in the current paper,nanostructured nickel oxide (nio) were synthesized by co-precipitation method using nickel(ii) chloride hexahydrate (nicl2.6h2o) and sodium hydroxide (naoh) as starting material. structural, optical and magnetic properties of nanostructures were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), atomic force microscope (afm), uv–vis absorption; fo...

Nickel sulfide, nickel oxide, cobalt sulfide, and cobalt oxide were shown to be car cinogenic on single intramuscular injection in rats. The sulfide of each metal induced a significantly higher tumor incidence than did its oxide. Comparisons between average latent periods and between measures of tumor progression also indicated that the presence of the sulfide enhances the carcinogenic activity...

Nickel phosphide-embedded graphene, prepared by the hydrothermal reaction of red phosphorus, nickel chloride, and graphene oxide in a mixture of ethylene glycol-water, is investigated as the counter electrode of DSSCs. It is demonstrated that the DSSC with the nickel phosphide-embedded graphene as the new counter electrode presents an excellent performance competing with that of the Pt electrode.

Here we demonstrate a high energy density asymmetric supercapacitor with nickel oxide nanoflake arrays as the cathode and reduced graphene oxide as the anode. Nickel oxide nanoflake arrays were synthesized on a flexible carbon cloth substrate using a seed-mediated hydrothermal method. The reduced graphene oxide sheets were deposited on three-dimensional (3D) nickel foam by hydrothermal treatmen...

The distribution of the castings production in world, whose total output is more than 112 million tons, considered. A steady trend to replacement rolled alloy steel, which used for critical engineering products, by Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) outlined. latter ductile cast iron with globular graphite, austempered (isothermally quenched) produce ausferritic (bainitic) structure. dynamics price...

This paper focused on a simple approach for synthesis of molybdenum oxide (MoO3) nanoparticles and reports a facile route for synthesis of such nanoparticles, using microwave irradiation as a homogenous and powerful source of heating, using ethylene glycol as the solvent and heating medium. For more investigations, besides microwave heating, the obtained solutions were also treated by conventio...

With the massive consumption of fossil fuels and its detrimental impact on the environment, methods of generating clean power are urgent. Hydrogen is an ideal carrier for renewable energy; however, hydrogen generation is inefficient because of the lack of robust catalysts that are substantially cheaper than platinum. Therefore, robust and durable earth-abundant and cost-effective catalysts are ...

Trace elements are chemical elements needed in minute quantities for the proper growth, development, and physiology of the organism. In biochemistry, a trace element is also referred to as a micronutrient. Trace elements, such as nickel, cadmium, aluminum, silver, chromium, molybdenum, germanium, tin, titanium, tungsten, scandium, are found naturally in the environment and human exposure derive...

INTRODUCTION This survey aims at proposing reference values of metals in the hair, in the copper-belt (Province of Katanga). MATERIALS AND METHODS We ran a descriptive study, in an etiologic perspective, on a sample of non-industrial population, constituted by students of the University of Lubumbashi, healthy and without medical treatment (n  = 109). Hair samples were analyzed by Inductively ...
