Nickel cobalt oxides with various Ni/Co ratios were synthesized using a facile template-free approach for electrochemical supercapacitors. The texture and morphology of the nanocomposites were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis (BET). The results show that a hierarchical ...

BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of total joint replacement failure is multifactorial. One hypothesis suggests that corrosion and wear of alloys result in metal ion release, which may then cause sensitization and even implant failure, owing to the acquired immune reactivity. OBJECTIVES To assess cobalt, nickel and chromium(VI) release from, and the metal composition of, failed metal-on-ethylene to...

Tungsten-alloy has carcinogenic potential as demonstrated by cancer development in rats with intramuscular implanted tungsten-alloy pellets. This suggests a potential involvement of epigenetic events previously implicated as environmental triggers of cancer. Here, we tested metal induced cytotoxicity and epigenetic modifications including H3 acetylation, H3-Ser10 phosphorylation and H3-K4 trime...

to cobalt with negative results for chromium, nickel and cement. Both prostheses were removed and the joints were sterile but contained grey pultaceous material with a relatively high cobalt and chromium content; there were multiple acetabular fractures on each side and the acetabular wall was paper-thin. Following the removal of the second prosthesis she became cobalt-negative and her urinary ...

[1] The geochemistry of cobalt in the Peru upwelling region is dominated by its importance as a micronutrient. A large and previously undocumented flux of labile cobalt behaved as a micronutrient with correlations with major nutrients (nitrate, phosphate; r = 0.90, 0.96) until depleted to 50 pM of strongly complexed cobalt. Co:P utilization ratios were an order of magnitude higher than in the N...

Nickel–cobalt alloys were prepared by alloy electrodeposition with a sulfamate bath, and the mechanical properties on micro-scale evaluated for application as micro-components in miniaturized electronic devices. Nickel bromide commercially available surface brightener used additives. The cobalt content increased from 21.5 to 60.1 at.% after addition of nickel into grain size refined 21.1 13.2 n...

A dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction based on solidification of floating organic drop for simultaneous extraction of trace amounts of nickel, cobalt and copper followed by their determination with electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry was developed. 300 μL of acetone and 1-undecanol was injected into an aqueous sample containing diethyldithiocarbamate complexes of metal ions. For ...

Magnetic and Electrical Resistivity Study of Electroless Amorphous Ternary System (Ni-Co-P) show a qualitative dependence of crystalline phases formed during transformation on the annealing temperature and composition. Electrical Resistivity values increases with increase in cobalt content and samples with higher resistivity show lower temperature coefficients. The Initial increase in magnetiza...
