Nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely used in medical and therapeuticapplications. However, their albumin binding and their cytotoxicity assays havenot been well explored. In his study, the interaction of NiO NPs with human serumalbumin (HSA) was explored by circular dichroism (CD) study, molecular dockingand dynamic studies. Afterwards the cytotoxicity of NiO NPs against...

Objective(s): In this work, CuO- NiO nano-composites were synthesized via free-surfactant co-precipitation method and then their physiochemical properties, as well as cytotoxicity and antifungal effects, were studied. Methods: The structural and optical properties of CuO-NiO nanostructures were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micros...

The local structure around the Ni atom has been studied by EXAFS and XANES spectroscopy in NiO-Moo3 Zeolite supported catalyst. Coordination, geometry and degree of dispersion of the NiO component has been determined for different concentrations of the active component.

Porous ceramics of Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) were prepared by tape-casting methods using both pyrolyzable pore formers and NiO followed by acid leaching. The porosity of YSZ wafers increased in a regular manner with the mass of graphite or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) to between 60% and 75% porosity. SEM indicated that the shape of the pores in the final ceramic was related to the shape of t...

This discussion describes a direct comparison of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation activity between a photosystem II (PSII)-functionalised photoanode and a synthetic nanocomposite photoanode. The semi-biological photoanode is composed of PSII from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus elongatus on a mesoporous indium tin oxide electrode (mesoITO|PSII). PSII embeds all of ...

The chemical reduction progression behaviour of transition metals (Mo, Zr, W, Ce, and Co) doped on NiO was studied using temperature programmed (TPR) analysis. A wet impregnation method applied to synthesise the series catalysts. progress catalysts attained by a reductant gas at concentration 40% v/v CO/N2. X-ray diffraction (XRD) employed determine composition reduced phases. Undoped 384℃ obta...

Introduction: We have shown that Gas-Rich Impact-Melt (GRIM) glasses in Shergotty, Zagami, and EET79001 (Lith A and Lith B) contain Martian regolith components that were molten during impact and quenched into glasses in voids of host rock materials based on neutron-capture isotopes, i.e., 150 Sm excesses and 149 Sm deficits in Sm, and 80 Kr excesses produced from Br [1, 2]. These GRIM glasses a...

We report experimental and theoretical evidence of surface effects in the Ni 2p x-ray photoemission spectra !XPS" of NiO. The Ni 2p3/2 surface-enhanced XPS of a NiO sample show a relative enhancement of the intensity of the known satellite at 1.5 eV higher binding energy from the main line, indicating a considerable surface contribution of this satellite. The results are discussed in terms of b...

We demonstrate a hybrid inorganic/organic light-emitting device composed of a CdSe/ZnS core/shell semiconductor quantum-dot emissive layer sandwiched between p-type NiO and tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3), as hole and electron transporting layers, respectively. A maximum external electroluminescence quantum efficiency of 0.18% is achieved by tuning the resistivity of the NiO layer to ...

Fe/NiO/Fe/CoO/Ag(001) single crystalline films were grown epitaxially and investigated by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and x-ray magnetic linear dichroism. The bottom Fe layer magnetization is pinned through exchange coupling to the CoO layer and the top Fe layer magnetization can be rotated by an in-plane external magnetic field. We find that the NiO spins wind up to form a domain wall du...
