Energy storage and water splitting applications of self-grown NaO-NiCl upright standing nanoplates: a process of 3D nickel surface modification using seawater.

The recent trend in research fosters the use of abundant seawater for modifying metal surfaces as electrode materials for energy generation, storage, transport, and water-splitting technologies. Economic and ecofriendly seawater is used as a solvent for modifying the surface of 3D nickel-foam (NiF) to NaO-NiCl@NiF as an electrode material in electrochemical supercapacitors and water-splitting electrocatalysis applications. The phase of the as-obtained NaO-NiCl is confirmed from the proposed reaction mechanism, followed various physical measurement tests such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared analysis.

Uranium-Toxicity and Uranium-Induced Osteosarcoma Using A New Regimen and Surgery : A First-Time Experience.

Uranium isotopes have always been problematic to mankind since many centuries. Different studies all over the world have been unable to reveal causal relationship between uranium and its toxic effects on kidneys, bone and lungs. In this case report, we present a rare association of uranium toxicity with renal dysfunction and possibility of induction of osteosarcoma by an unknown mechanism.
