Tel.: (65)-67 [email protected] (P Abstract In this work, we present the formation of porous NiCo oxide nanowires from single crystal nickel cobalt bimetallic carbonate hydroxide nanowires (NiCo cNW) for supercapacitor applications. High aspect ratio NiCo cNWs are found to evolve from highly crystalline nickel cobalt layered double hydroxides through a dode...

In the present work, the seedless, highly aligned and vertical ZnO nanorods in 3 dimensions (3D) were grown on the nickel foam substrate. The seedless grown ZnO nanorods were characterised by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The characterised seedless ZnO nanorods in 3D on nicke...

The focus of this paper is the investigation of reduced graphene oxide (GO)/nickel foam (RGON) samples for use as supercapacitor electrodes. Nickel foam samples were soaked in a GO suspension and dried before being subjected to two different methods to remove oxygen. Atmospheric pressure annealed (APA) samples were treated with a varying number (10-18) of nitrogen plasma jet scans, where sample...

Cobalt modified nickel phosphide nanosheet arrays on foam (Co-Ni 2 P/NF) can be used as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for PET hydrolysate electroreforming-assisted water splitting, and achieve 10 mA cm −2 at voltage of 1.43 V.

Crossed Fe2O3 nanosheets supported cobalt oxide nanoparticles on three-dimensionally macroporous nickel foam substrate (xCo/Fe-NF) was designed and successfully prepared through a facile hydrothermal and impregnation route. These catalysts showed high catalytic soot combustion activities under self-capture contact mode. The three-dimensional macroporous structures of Ni foam and the crossed Fe2...

Acidic electrolytes are advantageous for water electrolysis in the production of hydrogen as there is a large supply of H(+) ions in the solution. In this study, with the applied overpotential larger than the equilibrium potential of Ni(0)/Ni(2+), Ni foam as HER electrode exhibits excellent and stable HER activity with an onset potential of -84 mV (vs RHE), a high current density of 10 mA cm(-2...

Bismuth oxide directly grown on nickel foam (p-Bi2O3/Ni) was prepared by a facile polymer-assisted solution approach and was used directly as a lithium-ion battery anode for the first time. The Bi2O3 particles were covered with thin carbon layers, forming network-like sheets on the surface of the Ni foam. The binder-free p-Bi2O3/Ni shows superior electrochemical properties with a capacity of 66...

The development of sensing systems that can detect ultra-trace amounts of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) remains a key challenge in biological and biomedical fields. In the present study, we introduce a simple and highly sensitive enzymeless H2O2 biosensor based on a three-dimensional open pore nickel (Ni) foam electrode functionalized with hemoglobin (Hb). Our findings revealed that the Hb maintaine...

Reticulated nickel foams were alloyed with chromium by pack-chromizing, resulting in Ni–Cr foams with 9–32 wt.% Cr and 2.6–3.5% relative density. The oxidation resistance at 1000 ◦C of the Ni–Cr foams and the corresponding bulk Ni–Cr alloys is the same, provided the foam’s higher surface area is taken into account. The foam compressive yield stress at ambient temperature is in agreement with mo...
