Nickel oxide (NiO), deposited onto the strontium titanate (SrTiO3) (110)-(4 × 1) surface, was studied using photoemission spectroscopy (PES), X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES), and low-energy He+ ion scattering (LEIS), as well as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The main motivation for studying this system comes from the prominent role it plays in photocatalysis. The (4 × 1) reco...

The alpha and gamma phases of aluminum oxide were fingerprinted using electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) with an energy resolution of 0.4 eV. Electron diffraction and powder x-ray diffraction were used to determine the phase of micron and nanopowder alumina samples. The results from indexing peak and ring diffraction patterns proved to be ambiguous and were resolved by comparing EELS spec...

beryllium  oxide  (beo)  nanopowder  was  synthesized  using  sol-gel method  and  the  effects  of  changes of  chemical  reagents  were investigated.  because  of  tissue  equivalence  and  other  outstanding thermoluminescence  (tl) properties of  the bulk material  in x and γ dosimetry, the applicability of this nanostructure in tl dosimetry was studied  following  irradiation to  the 137 c...

objective: osseous defects around dental implants are often seen when implants are placed in areas with inadequate alveolar bone, or around failing implants. bone regeneration in these areas using bone grafts or its substitutes may improve dental implants prognosis. the aim of this study was to prepare and characterize the bioactive glass nanopowder and development of its coating for treatment ...

Processes for recycling lithium ion batteries (LIB), in particular complex chemistries such as those containing nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide (NMC) cathodes are hindered by tradeoffs between capital cost, process sustainability, and materials recovery. Most metal separations primary secondary production of critical elements rely on anion exchange chemistries. Herein, we explore the application ...

In this study, 18-38 nm-sized and spherical-shaped nanopowder Fe3O4 NPs concentrations (0.4, 2, 10, 50, 250 µg/10 µl) was force-fed to sixth instar (180 ± 20 mg) Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvae under laboratory conditions. The effects of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4) on the pupal adult developmental times, weights longevity G. were recorded. Results showed that t...

Mesoporous alumina catalysts that incorporate nickel (Ni-Alumina) with different Ni/Al molar ratios of 1:2, 1:5 and 1:10 were synthesized by a one-step sol–gel method using lauric acid as a template. The prepared Ni-Alumina catalysts showed a relatively high surface area with a narrow pore size distribution after calcination at 700 ◦C; these effects were independent of the Ni/Al molar ratio. Al...

Expanded mesocarbon microbeads (EMCMBs) with graphene oxide (GO) sheets were prepared by expanding graphitized mesocarbon microbeads (MCMBs) using a simple solution-based oxidative process. EMCMB-supported nickel nanoparticles with an average size of 4.6 nm were fabricated by an electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method in the presence of nickel nitrate additive. Nickel ions were self-assembled o...

Highly ordered, and conductive inverse opal arrays were made with silica and subsequently coated with tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) via atomic layer deposition (ALD). We demonstrate the utility of the resulting mesostructured electrodes by further coating them with nickel oxide via ALD. The NiO-coated arrays are capable of efficiently electrochemically evolving oxygen from water. These modular, ...
