NiO nanofibers composed of hollow NiO nanospheres with different sizes were prepared by electrospinning method. The mean size of the hollow NiO nanospheres was determined by the mean size of the Ni nanocrystals of the Ni-C composite nanofibers formed as an intermediate product. Porous-structured NiO nanofibers were also prepared as a comparison sample by direct oxidation of the electrospun nanofibers. The discharge capacities of the nanofibers composed of hollow nanospheres reduced at 300, 500, and 700 °C for the 250th cycle were 707, 655, and 261 mA h g(-1), respectively. However, the discharge capacity of the porous-structured NiO nanofibers for the 250th cycle was low as 206 mA h g(-1). The nanofibers composed of hollow nanospheres had good structural stability during cycling.

The present study included the environmentally friendly production of stable nickel nanoparticles (NiO NPs) using lemon and tomato, followed by their analysis and evaluation for their antibacterial properties against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus. The Nickel oxide nanoparticles produced exhibited their maximum absorption at 276 nm in the UV-vis spectrum. The image captured FESEM revealed smooth nanofibers with an average diameter of around 259 ± 3.

Semiconducting metal oxides with nanofiber (NF) morphologies are among the most promising materials for the realization of gas sensors. In this study, we have prepared electrospun ZnO-NiO composite NFs with different amounts of NiO (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80% wt%) for the systematic study of ethanol gas sensing. The fabricated composite NFs were annealed at 600 °C for crystallization.

A one-stone-for-three-bird strategy comprising lignocellulose waste management, photocatalytic toxic organic dye degradation, and anti-bacterial activity has been demonstrated using waste coconut coir derived carbon-supported NiO/PdO (NiO/PdO@C) nanocomposite. The formation of interconnected fibrous morphology with intact formation of face-centered cubic NiO and tetragonal PdO within the graphitic carbon shell in NiO/PdO@C was identified from various structural and morphological analyses. Additionally, the elemental mapping and high magnification transmission electron microscopy analyses observed the homogeneous distribution of bimetallic oxides and their complete coverage by multilayered carbon shell.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particularly aromatic hydrocarbons, pose significant environmental risks due to their toxicity and role in the formation of secondary pollutants. This study explores the potential of catalytic pyrolysis as an innovative strategy for the effective remediation and conversion of aromatic hydrocarbon pollutants. The research investigates the high-efficiency removal and resource recovery of the VOC toluene using a Ni/AlO catalyst.

Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the importance of using strong metal oxide adhesion layers (like NiO, TiO, TiO, ZnO, and WO) on quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) humidity sensors made from cellulose nanofibers (CNF) to improve their sensitivity and stability.
- Metal oxide layers helped maintain the stability of CNF films in high-humidity conditions, outperforming traditional adhesion methods like polyethylenimine.
- The research showed that QCM sensitivity decreased with increased water wettability of the metal oxide surfaces, establishing a link between the structure of CNF films and their adhesive performance based on surface properties.
