A three-dimensional, porous electrode composed of reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) has been examined for the selective removal of metals by electrodeposition from single and multi-component solutions. A three-stage system was envisioned where each metal from a ternary mixture could be selectively removed in each stage. Single and multi-component solutions of copper, nickel, zinc and silver wer...

INTRODUCTION Despite the importance of nickel and chromium release from orthodontic brackets, there are no in vivo or in vitro studies on this issue in the case of metal-injection molding (MIM) brackets. METHODS Saliva samples were collected from 30 orthodontic patients divided randomly into two groups of conventional and MIM brackets, before treatment and 2 months later. Approved attendees w...

Magnetic and orientational behavior of nickel hydroxide nanoplatelets ionically stabilized in a liquid matrix is studied. Under an applied field the platelets orient their faces normal to its direction. For characterization of the individual behavior of dispersed and non-interacting particles three techniques are used: SAXS, SQUID and magneto-optics. Analysis reveals that nickel hydroxide in a ...

[Ni3(C2H3 0 2 )2(CH3 0 H)2L2] [L = l,3-bis(5-chlorosalicylideneamino)propan-2-ol dianion, (C2H3 0 2 )_ = acetate, (CH3OH) = methanol] was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined. It crystallizes in the monoclinic spaceeroup P2i /n with a = 12.694(2), b = 13.281 (4), c = 15.420(3) Ä, ß = 111.25(2)°, V = 2422.9(9) A ? ,Z = 2 . The molecule is a “linear” trinuclear complex with nearly...

Sodium-deficient nickel-manganese oxides with three-layered stacking exhibit the unique property of dual nickel-oxygen redox activity, which allows them to achieve enormous specific capacity. The challenge is how stabilize oxygen activity during cycling. This study demonstrates that P3-Na2/3Ni1/2Mn1/2O2 both Na+ and Li+ intercalation can be regulated by design oxide architecture includes target...

Nickel is an essential micronutrient for a large number of living organisms, but it is also a toxic metal ion when it accumulates beyond the sustainable level as it may result if and when its cellular trafficking is not properly governed. Therefore, the homeostasis and metabolism of nickel is tightly regulated through metal-specific protein networks that respond to the available Ni(II) concentr...

The mol-ecule of the title complex, [Ni(C(30)H(23)O(2)P(2))(OH)], adopts a slightly distorted square-planar geometry around Ni(II) defined by the coordination of the two mutually trans P atoms, the Csp(2) atom of the pincer ligand and the O atom of the hydroxide ligand. The largest distortions from ideal geometry are reflected in the smaller than usual P-Ni-P [163.95 (3)°] and P-Ni-C [82.06 (6)...

Nanocrystalline nickel molybdate (NiMoO(4)) thin film electrodes with a 3D honeycomb structure of uniform 17 nm diameter pores were successfully produced through facile polymer templating strategies. These novel sol-gel type materials exhibit enhanced lithium ion storage capabilities, and thus show promise for battery applications.
