- Investigations revealed that the inclusion of nickel significantly enhances the structure and surface properties of the aerogels, leading to improved adsorption capacities for various azo dyes.
- The nickel-aluminum oxide aerogel, particularly with 40% nickel, displayed impressive adsorption capacities of 900 mg/g for methyl orange, 1484 mg/g for orange II, and 1660 mg/g for Congo Red, with the adsorption process being exothermic and following pseudo-second-order kinetics.
Article Abstract
Highly porous nickel-aluminum oxide aerogels were prepared according to a one-pot sol-gel process and dried under supercritical carbon dioxide conditions. Although the surface properties of these materials were very appealing for applications in catalysis, these aerogels were never applied in adsorption. The nickel effect on the structure and surface properties of the aerogels has been investigated via a broad range of structural, textural, and morphology characterization of the aerogels before and after heat treatment. The adsorption capacity of the as-synthesized and calcined aerogels for azo dyes was assessed under various experimental conditions. The presence of nickel in the aerogel boosts tremendously the surface reactivity and improves noticeably the adsorption capacity of the material. The adsorption capacities for the nickel-aluminum oxide aerogel with 40% nickel ( ) are 900 mg g for methyl orange, 1484 mg g for orange II, and 1660 mg g for Congo Red. The adsorption process is exothermic and follows pseudo-second-order kinetics.

This study evaluated the protective effects of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) derived from melon seed husk ash against the neurotoxic effects of common environmental pollutants, aluminum (Al), nickel (Ni), and their combination in Wistar rats. Ninety-one male Sprague Dawley rats (220-250 g; 6-8 weeks old) were divided into 13 experimental groups. Key findings revealed that exposure to nickel, aluminum, or their combination significantly impaired spatial learning and memory, as evidenced by prolonged latency periods in treated rats.

Article Synopsis
- - Phenolic antioxidants like tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) are used to extend the shelf life of edible oils, but excessive amounts can harm food quality and health, highlighting the need for effective TBHQ detection methods.
- - Researchers synthesized a new material called NiAl-LDH@GC-800 by growing nickel-aluminum double hydroxide on glucose carbon spheres and then pyrolyzing it at 800 °C, confirming its structure through various microscopy and spectroscopy techniques.
- - This new material was used to create an electrochemical sensor for TBHQ that demonstrated high sensitivity and a low detection limit, successfully testing TBHQ levels in different edible oils like chili, peanut, and rapeseed oil.

Fuel cell technology has developed due to diminishing dependence on fossil fuels and carbon footprint production. This work focuses on a nickel-aluminum bronze alloy as an anode produced by additive manufacturing as bulk and porous samples, studying the effect of designed porosity and thermal treatment on mechanical and chemical stability in molten carbonate (LiCO-KCO). Micrographs showed a typical morphology of the martensite phase for all samples in as-built conditions and a spheroid structure on the surface after the heat treatment, possibly revealing the formation of molten salt deposits and corrosion products.

Materials based on the NiAl-Cr-Mo system with zirconium oxide or aluminum-magnesium spinel nanoparticle small additions were obtained by spark plasma sintering. Thermodynamic modeling was carried out to predict the phase formation in the NiAl-Cr-Mo system and its change depending on temperature, considering the presence of a small amount of carbon in the system. The phase composition and microstructure of materials were studied.

We combined a nickel-aluminum-zirconium complex hydroxide (NAZ) with colloidal silica as a binder to prepare a granulated agent for adsorbing heavy metals from aqueous media. Three samples with different particle diameters were prepared to evaluate the effects on the properties: small (NAZ-S), medium (NAZ-M), and large (NAZ-L). We confirmed the granulation of the prepared samples at a binder content of 25%.
