Nitrogen-doped graphene decorated by iron-nickel alloy is introduced as a promising electrode material for supercapacitors. Compared to pristine and Ni-decorated graphene, in acid media, the introduced electrode revealed excellent specific capacitance as the corresponding specific capacitance was multiplied around ten times with capacity retention maintained at 94.9% for 1,000 cycles. Briefly, ...

   The growth and structural study of Nickel doped Cobalt ferrite thin films on glass substrate using spray pyrolysis technique have been done. The structural studies confirmed the growth of polycrystalline film having cubic structure with Fd3m space group. The x ray density was found to increase with Ni concentration, where as the reduction, in crystalline size, was found in XRD m...

The experimental observations of stripes in superconducting cuprates and insulating nickelates clearly show the modulation in charge and spin density. However, these have proven to be rather insensitive to the harmonic structure and (site or bond) ordering. Using (139)La NMR in La(2)NiO(4+delta) with delta = 0.17, we show that in the 1/3 hole doped nickelate below the freezing temperature the s...

Unique room temperature-formed iron-doped nickel hydroxide on Ni foam as a 3D electrode in alkaline electrolyte offers fast gas dissipation, a high number of active sites and a high oxidation state of Ni for an improved oxidation ability for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which delivers an OER current density of 100 mA cm-2 at an overpotential of 0.312 V and 96.3% retention after 100 h at...

We performed electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements on two kinds of nickel chain compounds doped with nonmagnetic Zn2+ ions, Ni(333-tet)( -NO2)(ClO4) (333-tet=bis-(3-aminopropyl)-1,3-propanediamine) abbreviated as NTENP and Ni(1,3-pn)2( -NO2)(ClO4) (1,3-pn=1,3-propanediamine) abbreviated as NINO which are regarded as a spin (S) one Heisenberg antiferromagnetic bond alternating chain and a u...

A series of 122 phase BaFe2−xNixAs2 (x = 0, 0.055, 0.096, 0.18 and 0.23) single crystals was grown by the self-flux method and a dome-like Ni doping dependence of the superconducting transition temperature was discovered. The transition temperature T on c reaches a maximum of 20.5K at x = 0.096, and it drops to below 4K as x > 0.23. The negative thermopower in the normal state indicates that th...

Fe and Ni doped mesoporous Co3O4 (mCo3O4) catalysts were prepared and investigated for electrochemical oxygen evolution. The incorporation of Fe into mCo3O4 (Fe-mCo3O4) results in unusual synergistic effects via destruction of the bulk mesoporous structure and formation of slit-like pores. The Fe-mCo3O4 composite displayed a significantly enhanced catalytic activity for oxygen evolution.

The complex magnetic and structural properties of Co-doped Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler alloys have been investigated by using a combination of first-principles calculations and classical Monte Carlo simulations. We have restricted the investigations to systems with 0, 5 and 9 at% Co. Ab initio calculations show the presence of the ferrimagnetic order of austenite and martensite depending on the compositio...

Superconductivity has been explored in single crystals of the Ni-doped FeAs-compound SrFe2−xNixAs2 grown by self-flux solution method. The antiferromagnetic order associated with the magnetostructural transition of the parent compound SrFe2As2 is gradually suppressed with increasing Ni concentration x and bulk-phase superconductivity with full diamagnetic screening is induced near the optimal d...
