Article Abstract
This work reports the preparation of ferro-magnetic nickel nanowires (NiNW) coated with dithiocarbamate-functionalized siliceous shells and its application for the uptake of aqueous Hg(II) ions by magnetic separation. NiNW with an average diameter and length of 35 nm and 5 μm, respectively, were firstly prepared by Ni electrodeposition in an anodic aluminum oxide template. The NiNW surfaces were then coated with siliceous shells containing dithiocarbamate groups via a one-step procedure consisting in the alkaline hydrolytic co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and a siloxydithiocarbamate precursor (SiDTC). A small amount of these new nanoadsorbents (2.5 mg·L(-1)) removed 99.8% of mercury ions from aqueous solutions with concentration 50 μg·L(-1) and in less than 24 h of contact time. This outstanding removal ability is attributed to the high affinity of the sulfur donor ligands to Hg(II) species combined with the high surface area-to-volume ratio of the NiNW.

Transition metal sulfides are promising electrocatalysts for water electrolysis. This work develops an innovative rapid low-temperature molten-salt template approach that enables one-step fabrication of free-standing Mo-doped sulfide nanowire arrays (Mo-NiS@NiS/NF) on nickel foam (NF) within merely 30 min, substantially reducing synthesis time compared to conventional methods. XRD and Raman analyses show that the doping of Mo makes the original NiS convert into NiS with higher catalytic activity.

Nickel cobalt carbonate hydroxide (NCCH) nanostructures with tunable morphologies, crystallite sizes, and defect structures are synthesized using a pH-modulated hydrothermal approach to explore the correlation between structural properties and electrochemical performance. Significant variations in crystallinity, surface area, chemical structure, and morphology are observed, as confirmed by synchrotron X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analyses. Among the samples, the one synthesized at pH = 8.

Glucose sensors play a vital role in the everyday healthcare needs of diabetic patients. However, glucose sensor cost and reliability, particularly regarding their standard functionalization with expensive and environmentally sensitive enzymes, remains a challenge. A method for the fabrication of nickel nanowire arrays (NWAs) coated with a thin layer of chitosan for the non-enzymatic detection of glucose is herein reported.

The widespread and uncontrolled disposal of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics poses a significant environmental challenge. In this study, we propose a sustainable upcycling strategy to convert waste PET into high-value bimetallic nickel/cobalt-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate metal-organic frameworks (NiCo-BDC MOFs) via a one-pot solvothermal method. By tuning the Ni/Co precursor ratio, the morphology of the resulting NiCo-BDC transitions controllably from stacked nanowires to nanorods, forming a hybrid crystalline-amorphous architecture with a large specific surface area and well-developed hierarchical porosity.

This study demonstrates that the use of bilayer films based on nickel oxide (NiO;) and cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) represents a promising hole transport layer (HTLs) for inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). NiO; films are fabricated using the spin-coating method from a sol-gel solution. Films (CoPc) and nanowires (CoPc) on the NiO; surface are produced by thermal sputtering and physical gradient-temperature vapor deposition.
