The synergistic effects on the magnetic CoNi and Fe3O4 nanoparticles co-embedded porous carbon toward enhanced microwave absorbing performance

Abstract Lightweight and environmentally friendly three-dimensional biomass-derived porous carbon (3D BPC) holds great potential as a highly effective material for microwave absorption (MA) applications. However, the high complex permittivity and lack of magnetic loss in a single 3D BPC lead to impedance mismatching and a limited absorption bandwidth. Developing 3D BPC–based absorbers with multiple loss mechanisms and excellent impedance matching remains a notable yet challenging task. In this study, inspired by a synergistic composition and microstructure design, 3D BPC co-embedded with magnetic cobalt–nickel (CoNi) and iron(III) oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (3D BPC@CoNi@Fe3O4) was developed. 3D BPC@CoNi@Fe3O4 exhibited consistently low complex permittivity, primarily due to the suppression of conductive loss, whereas the introduction of magnetic phases (CoNi and Fe3O4) enhanced the magnetic loss. Optimised impedance matching, achieved through the synergistic regulation of the electromagnetic parameters, emerged as the key mechanism for improving the MA properties. The as-synthesised 3D BPC@CoNi@Fe3O4 composite, with only 20 wt.% loading demonstrated a wide effective absorption bandwidth (reflection loss [RL] < −10 dB) of 6.08 GHz and an impressive minimum RL value of −40.08 dB. These findings offer valuable insights into the development of high-performance 3D BPC–based microwave absorbers through composition and microstructure optimisation.

Optical and sign-flipping nonlinear optical properties of NiO/PMMA/PANI nanocomposite films

In this study, we introduce an efficient nanocomposite system to enhance optical properties of Nickel oxide (NiO) integrated with two polymers matrix. NiO nanoparticles is prepared using chemical co-precipitation method and its nanocomposite films (NCFs) were prepared with poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polyaniline (PANI) using drop-casting method on glass substrate and was optimized by changing the concentration of NiO. The prepared NCFs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet (UV)-visible absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopy. The open-aperture z-scan method is employed for nonlinear optical investigations, utilizing a nanosecond pulsed laser with a wavelength of 532 nm for excitation. The findings indicate that the NCFs exhibit sign-flipping nonlinear behavior, indicating a transition from saturable absorption to reverse saturable absorption. This suggests that our NCFs exhibit optical limiting properties and potential for applications in photonic devices, such as optical switches and laser protection systems.

Monovalent nickel ion as ionization probe in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry

We have developed NiO/HM20, a matrix composed of NiO nanoparticles (NiO) loaded on zeolite surface, for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS). By photoexcitation, monovalent nickel ion (Ni+) was dominantly observed with high intensity. The mechanism of Ni+ production was studied by picosecond time-resolved emission spectroscopy. By loading NiO on the zeolite surface, a new relaxation pathway to other electronic excited states was observed, which increased the lifetime of electron–hole pairs and promoted the reduction of nickel. The long-lived charge-separated electronic excited state corresponding to the large polarization of NiO was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD). The correlation between the Auger parameter related to the polarization energy and the Ni+ peak intensity in the mass spectrum was confirmed. By applying the developed NiO/HM20 matrix to the MS measurement of small molecules, we found that molecules were ionized through complex formation with Ni+ using the coordination of lone electron pairs or π-electrons in the analyte molecules.

Green engineering of NiO nanoparticles decorated with Arachis hypogaea shell extract for biomedical applications

Abstract We attempted to synthesize nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO-NPs) utilizing waste Arachis hypogaea (peanut) shell extract and studied their structural, morphological, and biological performance for biomedical applications. The green engineered NiO-NPs possessed a face-centered cubic structure with an average particle size of 20 nm in highly crystalline form. NiO-NPs were shown to have an optical resonance peak at 327 nm with 3 eV as the optical band gap according to the UV–visible spectra, and the stretching band between Ni–O were evidenced from the FTIR and Raman spectrum. Utilizing green approach the stable nanoparticles were obtained with average particle size of 31 nm from SEM analysis; zeta potential value of −17.6 mV, and PDI as 0.68, revealed the formation of spherical nanoparticles with distinct morphologies without aggregation. XPS analysis confirmed the oxidation states of the elements Ni (2p) and O (1s). This approach may help to increase the surface area, increasing the possibility of nanoparticles interacting with bacterial cells. Furthermore, the presence of nickel and the oxygen oxidation state were confirmed by XPS. Proteus vulgaris, Streptococcus oralis, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli were found to be susceptible to the antibacterial action of the produced NiO-NPs, with a maximal zone of inhibition of 10.25 mm at 500 μg/ml for P. vulgaris. For P. vulgaris and E. coli, the minimum inhibitory concentrations of NiO were 5.36 and 12.55 %, respectively, at 31.25 μg mL−1. We hereby claim that green engineered NiO NPs decorated with A. hypogaea shell extract have great potential for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.

Chemical synthesis of NiO nanoparticles from Solanum trilobatum leaf extract for antibacterial and cytotoxic properties

The chemical precipitation approach was employed to synthesize Nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiONPs) using Solanum trilobatum leaf extract as the stimulant and Nickel nitrate as the precursor. The Nickel oxide is examined using a range of characterization methods including X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy, High-Resolution Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Thermo gravimetric Analysis/Derivative Thermo gravimetric Analysis, Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy, cytotoxicity and antimicrobial investigations The X-ray diffraction examination determined that the average size of the crystals increases as the quantities of leaf extract in the NiO2 composites rise. The decrease in line broadening (β) value and the increase in leaf extract concentrations may be the cause of this phenomenon. The FTIR spectrum confirms that the as-synthesized NiO-NPs are of great purity and match well with the XRD pattern. The thermal stability of the synthesized samples was determined using TGA/DTG analysis. The analysis was conducted in an air atmosphere, with the temperature increasing at a rate of 10°C per minute. The temperature range for the analysis was from room temperature to 750°C. The optical properties are determined by the use of Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy, which examines the coordinated movement of electrons in the conduction band when exposed to electromagnetic waves. Rat skeletal muscle cell line and SKMEL cancer cells were cultured on 96-well plates and incubated at 37°C and 5 % CO2 for 24 hours to allow them to adapt to the culture conditions. An investigation was conducted to assess the antibacterial properties of synthesized nanocomposites against two types of bacteria: gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC No: 87) and gram-negative Escherichia coli (MTCC No: 443), in order to explore their potential for biological applications.

NiO@GaN nanorods-based core-shell heterostructure for enhanced photoelectrochemical water splitting via efficient charge separation

Remarkable properties of III-V semiconductors, particularly GaN nanostructured based photoelectrodes offers a potential attention in the field of photoelectrochemical water splitting (PEC-WS) for clean and sustainable hydrogen production, due to its wide bandgap, magnificent optoelectrical properties. However, the presence of inevitable surface states in GaN nanorods (NRs) leads to low solar-to-hydrogen (STH) conversion efficiency with poor stability, thereby severely limiting their practical application in PEC-WS, which can be effectively alleviated by constructing a hybrid heterostructures. Herein, we present the development of interfacial engineering of a type-II core-shell heterostructure based on p-NiO nanoparticles (NPs) loaded on n-GaN NRs photoelectrodes for PEC-WS. We assessed the impact of the NiO NPs shell density on core GaN NRs, finding that the optimized NiO@GaN NRs photoelectrode achieved a photocurrent density (Jph) of 1.38 mA/cm² at 1.23 V versus RHE and an excellent applied bias photo-to-current conversion efficiency (ABPE) of ∼0.39 %, which was 3.8 (Jph) and 4.8 (ABPE)-fold times higher than the pristine GaN NRs photoanode under 1-Sun illumination. The type-II p-n heterojunction band alignment between core-shell NiO@GaN NRs photoelectrode effectively reduced the photogenerated carrier recombination rate through surface states passivation and boost the light absorption and harvesting capacity. This facilitates a significant charge separation and transfer at the photoanode/electrolyte interface leading to enhanced redox reactions, resulting in improved PEC-WS and STH performances. These findings offer a promising strategy to design and fabricate highly efficient III-V hybrid heterostructure photoelectrodes for futuristic PEC-WS-based green energy applications.

Direct synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles from pregnant leach solution by using electrodeionization and Fenton processes in the presence of EDTA

This paper presents the results of a novel study on the direct synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles from a synthetic pregnant leach solution (PLS) as a middle stage product of hydrometallurgy process of nickel production. To increase the nickel proportion in the initial PLS, electrodeionization was utilized in the presence of EDTA to form an anionic complex ([Ni-EDTA]2−) with Ni2+ cations, allowing their separation from cobalt cations through the EDI process. Subsequently, the Fenton process was applied to synthesize nickel oxide nanoparticles from the complex containing solution. The proposed hybrid process was conducted in two different modes of one-stage and two-stage EDI process followed by the Fenton process. Different analysis methods including AAS, XRD, FE-SEM, and ICP were used for qualitative and quantitative evaluations. The analyses’ results revealed that by implementing one-stage EDI process followed by Fenton process resulted in producing nickel oxide nanoparticles with an average particle size of 45 nm and purity of about 98 %. Also, it was seen that about 81 % of initial nickel content of the initial PLS was recovered as nickel oxide nanoparticles. In the case of two-stage EDI process, 100 % pure nickel oxide nanoparticles with average size of 55 nm and recovery of 65 % was produced. The results showed that the innovative hybrid EDI/Fenton process can be considered as a promising approach for direct synthesis of high purity nickel oxide nanoparticles from PLS. However, it should be noted that there was a trade-off between purity of nickel oxide and nickel recovery from PLS.

X-ray spectromicroscopy of single NiO antiferromagnetic nanoparticles

The chemical and magnetic properties of NiO nanoparticles (NP) have been studied with single-particle sensitivity by means of synchrotron-based, polarization-dependent X-ray absorption spectroscopy using photoemission electron microscopy around the Ni L3,2 edges. Three samples of NP in a size range of 40-120 nm were synthesized by thermal decomposition and subsequent calcination processes.

Nickel oxide nanoparticles embedded in polymer-matrix nanocomposite prepared by nanosecond laser ablation method for optoelectronic applications

The polymeric PVA structure embedded with nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) was synthesized using nanosecond pulsed laser ablation in liquid media technique for optoelectronic applications. A comprehensive investigation was conducted on the optical and electrical characteristics of the fabricated films to demonstrate the proficiency of the proposed nanocomposite film in that particular domain. Different weights of NiO nanoparticles were generated by embedding them in PVA film using different ablation durations. It was shown that as the concentration of NiO embedded in PVA increased in correlation with the ablation period, the absorption peak changed to a longer wavelength, and the absorption edge of PVA changed towards lower photon energy with a reduction in the band gap density. Followed by the increase in disorder degree through the addition of NiO NPs, while an average value of the dispersion energy is identical, and the nonlinear parameters (χ(3) and n2) increase. Also, the results emphsies that the dielectric characteristics were affected as the concentration of NiO NPs increased due to the rise in the density of states, which resulted in the generation of polarization. Due to the creation of the charge transfer complex, the optical conductivity of the produced nanocomposites rises as the concentration of NiO NPs increases. Therefore, the optical and electrical characteristics of PVA are significantly affected by the incorporation of NiO nanocomposites.
