in this paper, nickel oxide (nio) nanoparticles have been prepared by solid state thermal decomposition of an acyclic nickel(ii) complex (1,2-bis(2-formyl-3-methoxyphenyl)propane)nickel(ii) chloride, [nil]cl2, in an electrical furnace at optimal temperature, 450 ºc for 3.5 h. the nickel(ii) complex is obtained via solid state synthesis using nickel(ii) chloride and tetradentate o4 acyclic ligan...

Different amounts of Ni-doped TiO(2) (Ni = 0.1 to 10%) powders and thin films were prepared by following a conventional coprecipitation and sol-gel dip coating techniques, respectively, at 400 to 800°C, and were thoroughly characterized by means of XRD, FT-IR, FT-Raman, DRS, UV-visible, BET surface area, zeta potential, flat band potential, and photocurrent measurement techniques. Photocatalyti...

recently, the use of renewable energies has increased to  environmental pollution, limitation of fossil energy resources and energy security  one of the means that enable us to use such energies is fuel cells (fc). however, there are many problems  in the commercialization of fc from an economically and operation perspective. one of the most important problems is heat management. new heat pipes...

Abstract Functional thin films with a compositional gradient were deposited by sputtering method mixed powder targets. The composition ratio of nickel (Ni) and stainless steel (SUS304) was varied over the film thickness using several types oxide Our results indicate that nickel-doped stainless-steel successfully prepared on both Si substrates mixing controlled powder.

BACKGROUND Algae powders have been increasingly used in therapeutic preparations. Their potential as inducers of occupational asthma (OA), however, remains to be demonstrated. METHODS A 33-year-old woman developed asthma following exposure to algae powder used for thalassotherapy. She had positive patch tests to nickel and cobalt in an evaluation for intermittent skin rash. At work, she had a...

The ability of bael tree (BT) leaf powder to adsorb nickel, Ni, from aqueous solutions has been investigated through batch experiments. The Ni adsorption was found to be dependent on adsorbent dosage, initial concentration and contact time. All batch experiments were carried out at natural solution pH and at a constant temperature of 30°C using wrist-action shaker that operated at 120 rpm. The ...

The Rice Husk Ash is a cheap and readily available biosorbent for the removal of nickel ions from aqueous solutions. This investigation comprises of the equilibrium and kinetics study for biosorption of nickel ions from aqueous solutions using Rice Husk Ash powder as a biosorbent in a batch process. The Rice Husk Ash is obtained from a hotel near Andhra University campus, is dried in sunlight f...

Current-activated tip-based sintering (CATS) is a novel process where spark plasma sintering conditions are applied through an electrically conducting tip on a locally controlled area on a green powder compact/bed. The localization of electric current in CATS allows for unique temporal and spatial current and temperature distributions within the tip and powder compact. In this paper, special ex...

Although platinum is commonly used as catalyst on the cathode in microbial electrolysis cells (MEC), non-precious metal alternatives are needed to reduce costs. Cathodes were constructed using a nickel powder (0.5–1 mm) and their performance was compared to conventional electrodes containing Pt (0.002 mm) in MECs and electrochemical tests. The MEC performance in terms of coulombic efficiency, c...
