Synthesis of efficient antibacterial agents has become extremely important due to the emergence antibiotic resistant bacteria. This is especially true for Pseudomonas aeruginosa , an opportunistic pathogen having ability rapidly develop resistance multiple classes antibiotics thus limiting efficacy approved clinical use. Aluminum (Al)-doped NiO nanoparticles are special interest their enhanced ...

Zn-doped NiO two-dimensional grainy films on glass substrates are shown to be an ammonia-sensing material with excellent comprehensive performance, which could real-time detect and monitor ammonia (NH3) in the surrounding environment. The morphology and structure analysis indicated that the as-fabricated semiconductor films were composed of particles with diameters ranging from 80 to 160 nm, an...

Nickel nanoparticles supported by the yttria-stabilized zirconia (111) surface show several preferential epitaxial relationships, as revealed by in situ X-ray diffraction. The two main nanoparticle orientations are found to have their [111] direction parallel to the substrate surface normal and ∼41.3 degrees tilted from this direction. The former orientation is described by a cube-on-cube stack...

The quantitative relationships between the activity of zebrafish ZHE1 enzyme and a series of experimental and physicochemical features of 24 metal oxide nanoparticles were revealed. Vital characteristics of the nanoparticles' structure were reflected using both experimental and theoretical descriptors. The developed quantitative structure-activity relationship model for nanoparticles (nano-QSAR...

NiO is a promising electrode material for supercapacitors. Herein, the novel vertically standing nanosized NiO encapsulated in graphene layers (G@NiO) are rationally designed and synthesized as nanosheet arrays. This unique vertical standing structure of G@NiO nanosheet arrays can enlarge the accessible surface area with electrolytes, and has the benefits of short ion diffusion path and good ch...
