Article Abstract
A dopamine biosensor has been developed using nickel oxide nanoparticles (NPs) and tyrosinase enzyme conjugate. Nickel oxide (NiO) NPs were synthesized by sol-gel method using anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), as template to control the size of synthesized nanoparticles. The structural and morphological studies of the prepared NPs were carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques. Afterwards, tyrosinase enzyme molecules were adsorbed on NiO NPs surface and enzyme coated NPs were deposited on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate by solution casting method. The formation of enzyme-NPs conjugate was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques and used in selective detection and estimation of neurochemical dopamine by electrochemical method. The fabricated Tyrosinase/NiO/ITO electrode exhibits high sensitivity of 60.2nA/µM in linear detection range (2-100μM) with a detection limit of 1.038μM. The proposed sensor had a response time of 45s, long shelf life (45 days) with good reproducibility and selectivity in presence of interfering substances and was validated with real samples. The tyrosinase enzyme functionalized NiO platform has good bio-sensing efficacy and can be used in detection of other catecholamines and phenolic neurochemicals.

NiO is a p-type semiconductor widely used as a hole transport material in perovskite solar cells (PSCs), yet the impact of fabrication methods on its interfacial properties and the underlying mechanisms remains unclear. This study investigates how the fabrication process─nanoparticle precursor (NP NiO) and sputtering deposition (SP NiO)─and interfacial space charge effects influence charge transport and device performance in NiO/perovskite systems. SP NiO exhibits a higher Ni/Ni ratio and greater conductivity but induces significant hole depletion and band bending at the interface, leading to reduced open-circuit voltage and efficiency.

Suppressing photoinduced charge recombination represents a critical challenge in photocatalytic ammonia (NH) decomposition for hydrogen (H) production. Herein, we propose a dual-cocatalyst system comprising plasmonic silver (Ag) and nickel oxide (NiO), which synergistically construct an Ag → titanium dioxide (TiO) → NiO directional electron cascade on TiO surfaces through work-function-induced interfacial charge transfer. The optimized 3 %Ag-1 %NiO-TiO reaches a significantly photocatalytic H production rate of 2366.

The electronic properties of correlated insulators are governed by the strength of Coulomb interactions, enabling the control of electronic conductivity with external stimuli. This work highlights that the strength of electronic correlations in nickel oxide (NiO), a prototypical charge-transfer insulator, can be coherently reduced by tuning the intensity of an optical pulse excitation. This weakening of correlations persists for hundreds of picoseconds and exhibits a recovery time independent of photodoping density across two orders of magnitude.

Spin waves, as carriers of information in magnetic materials, hold great potential for information transmission and storage. However, the spin wave signals are generally weak, limiting both detection and practical application. Herein, we report a Raman spectroscopy study of the interference-enhanced Raman scattering (IERS) on the spin wave signal in nickel oxide (NiO) nanosheets on the SiO/Al substrate.

A new series of dithioalkylated-methylidenyl-cyclopentadithiophene (CDTS)-based self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), including CDTS-MN (1), CDTS-MN (1b), CDTS-CA (2), and CDTS-PA (3), are developed for tin perovskite solar cells (TPSCs). Each SAM incorporates sulphur rich center CDTS and is complemented with various anchoring groups, such as methylenemalononitrile, cyanoacrylic acid, and cyano-vinyl-phosphonic acid in driving the formation of well-crystallized and homogeneous perovskite layers using a two-step fabrication process. Nickel Oxide (NiOx) combined with the newly designed CDTS-based SAMs is utilized as the hole transport material (HTM).
