We report two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) analyses of the Raman spectra of NiO nanoparticles over a temperature range from 100 to 300 K. 2D-Raman correlation spectra suggest strong correlation of the phonon spectral intensity variation with the magnetic ordering in NiO nanoparticles. It is revealed that the antiferromagnetic ordering affects the TO phonon anisotropy in NiO nanoparticles. We elucidate the complex spectral features of two-magnon (2 M) bands by performing appropriate 2D-COS model simulations. Significant spin-phonon coupling in NiO nanoparticles is supported by our results. High energy magnon-magnon interaction tails are also found to be involved in the spin-phonon coupling. 2D-COS analyses provide rich information regarding the nature of the phonon and magnon excitations of NiO nanoparticles.

Nickel oxide nanoparticles are engineered particles that are now widely used in medicine, agriculture, and industry applications. This study aimed to investigate subchronic testicular toxicity induced by nickel oxide (NiO) and nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiONPs) in rats by comparing oral, intraperitoneal (IP), and intravenous (IV) routes of administration. Forty-two male Wistar rats were used for the study, and seven groups were formed: control group, NiO oral (150 mg/kg), NiO IP (20 mg/kg), NiO IV (1 mg/kg), NiONP oral (150 mg/kg), NiONP IP (20 mg/kg), and NiONP IV (1 mg/kg).

An electro- and optically favorable quaternary nanocomposite film was produced by solution-casting nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT/PSS). Based on transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) observations, the synthesized NiO NPs have a cubic phase and a diameter between 10 and 45 nm. The complexity and interactions observed through XRD patterns, UV-visible spectra, and FTIR measurements suggest that the NPs are not just dispersed within the polymer matrix, but are interacting with it, leading to enhanced dielectric properties and AC electrical conductivity.

This work presents a robust strategy for quantifying overlapping electrochemical signatures originating from complex mixtures and real human plasma samples using nickel-based electrochemical sensors and machine learning (ML). This strategy enables the detection of a panel of analytes without being limited by the selectivity of the transducer material and leaving accommodation of interference analysis to ML models. Here, we fabricated a non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor for L-lactic acid detection in complex mixtures and human plasma samples using nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticle-modified glassy carbon electrodes (GCE).

The aquatic ecosystem is negatively impacted by organic dye contamination, which is now one of the factors leading to environmental pollution. The present investigation involved the synthesis of nanocellulose (NC) and nanocellulose modified with NiO (NC/NiO) composite using acid hydrolysis and a one-step precipitation technique for NC and NiO, respectively. Malachite green (MG) dye was catalytically removed from an aqueous solution using the two products, which were mechanically homogenized.

Currently, the increasing use of nickel metal-organic frameworks (Ni-MOF) and nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) has raised concerns regarding their potential environmental impact on wastewater treatment systems. Herein, the responses of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) and algal-bacterial aerobic granular sludge (AB-AGS) to Ni-MOF and NiO NPs were investigated. The results showed that Ni-MOF concentrations of 50, 100, and 200 mg/L significantly reduced nutrient removal in both systems, particularly affecting ammonia, nitrite, and phosphorus removal, while denitrification processes remained stable.
