Nickel(II) Oxide (NiO) is a black or greenish-black inorganic compound that serves as an important material in various industrial applications. It is commonly utilized in battery manufacturing, where it plays a crucial role in the production of nickel-based batteries. Its fine particle size, typically −325 mesh (<44 μm), enhances its reactivity and performance in electrochemical applications. In addition to battery manufacturing, Nickel(II) oxide is also used in ceramics, supercapacitors, and as a catalyst in chemical reactions. Its versatility makes it valuable in various sectors, including electronics and materials science.

Application

  • Benchmarking Nanoparticulate Metal Oxide Electrocatalysts for the Alkaline Water Oxidation Reaction: This study evaluates the electrocatalytic performance of nickel oxide for water oxidation, important for material scientists working on energy conversion technologies (S Jung et al., 2016).

A bottom-up approach to produce a long-range ordered superlattice of monodisperse and isomorphic metal-oxide nanoparticles (NP) supported onto an oxide substrate is demonstrated. The synthetic strategy consists of self-assembling metallic NP on an ultrathin nanopatterned aluminum oxide template followed by

Size-dependent nanostructural transformations occurring during the H(2)-mediated reduction of hollow and porous NiO nanoparticles were investigated for controlled nanoparticle sizes of ~10 to 100 nm. Transmission electron microscopy reveals that the location and number of reduction sites strongly depend on

The synthesis and characterization of new tris(carbene)borate ligand precursors containing substituted benzimidazol-2-ylidene and 1,3,4-triazol-2-ylidene donor groups, as well as a new tris(imidazol-2-ylidene)borate ligand precursor are reported. The relative donor strengths of the tris(carbene)borate ligands have been evaluated by the position
