Technological Interest

There is considerable technological interest in oxidation of nickel because of the importance of nickel-base superalloys in high-temperature oxidizing environments. NiO scales on nickel grow classically, by outward diffusion of nickel through the scale, and are among the most studied of oxidation systems. We report here the first extensive characterization by transmission electron microscopy of nickel oxide scales formed on bulk nickel substrates and sectioned both parallel and transversely to the Ni/NiO interface.Electrochemically-polished nickel sheet of 99.995% purity was oxidized at 1273 K in 0.1 MPa oxygen partial pressure for times between 5 s and 25 h. Parallel sections were produced using a combination of electropolishing of the nickel substrate and ion-beam thinning of the scale to any desired depth in the scale. Transverse sections were prepared by encasing stacked strips of oxidized nickel sheet in epoxy resin, sectioning transversely and ion-beam thinning until thin area spanning one or more interfaces was obtained.

Spherical submicron particles of materials produced by electrohydrodynamic (EHD) atomization have been used to study a variety of materials processes including nucleation of alternative crystallization phases in iron-nickel and nickel-chromium alloys, amorphous solidification in submicron droplets of pure metals, and quasi-crystal formation in nickel-chromium alloys. Some experiments on pure nickel, nickel oxide single crystals, the nickel/nickel(II) oxide interface, and grain boundaries in nickel monoxide have been performed by STEM. For these latter studies, HREM is the most direct approach to obtain particle crystal structures at the atomic level. Grain boundaries in nickel oxide have also been investigated by HREM. In this paper, we present preliminary results of HREM observations of NiO growth on submicron spheres of pure nickel.Small particles of pure nickel were prepared by EHD atomization. For the study of pure nickel, 0.5 mm diameter pure nickel wire (99.9975%) is sprayed directly in the EHD process. The liquid droplets solidify in free-flight through a vacuum chamber operated at about 10-7 torr.

Nanocomposite (NCP) films of polycarbonate-polybutylene terephthalate (PC-PBT) blend as a host material to Cr2O3 and CdS nanoparticles (NPs) were fabricated by both thermolysis and casting techniques. Samples from the PC-PBT/Cr2O3 and PC-PBT/CdS NCPs were irradiated using different doses (20–110 kGy) of γ radiation. The induced modifications in the optical properties of the γ irradiated NCPs have been studied as a function of γ dose using UV Vis spectroscopy and CIE color difference method. Optical dielectric loss and Tauc's model were used to estimate the optical band gaps of the NCP films and to identify the types of electronic transition. The value of optical band gap energy of PC-PBT/Cr2O3 NCP was reduced from 3.23 to 3.06 upon γ irradiation up to 110 kGy, while it decreased from 4.26 to 4.14 eV for PC-PBT/CdS NCP, indicating the growth of disordered phase in both NCPs. This was accompanied by a rise in the refractive index for both the PC-PBT/Cr2O3 and PC-PBT/CdS NCP films, leading to an enhancement in their isotropic nature. The Cr2O3 NPs were found to be more effective in changing the band gap energy and refractive index due to the presence of excess oxygen atoms that help with the oxygen atoms of the carbonyl group in increasing the chance of covalent bonds formation between the NPs and the PC-PBT blend. Moreover, the color intensity, ΔE has been computed; results show that both the two synthesized NCPs have a response to color alteration by γ irradiation, but the PC-PBT/Cr2O3 has a more response since the values of ΔE achieved a significant color difference >5 which is an acceptable match in commercial reproduction on printing presses. According to the resulting enhancement in the optical characteristics of the developed NCPs, they can be a suitable candidate as activate materials in optoelectronic devices, or shielding sheets for solar cells.

Nickel Oxide (NiO) is an important transition metal oxide with cubic lattice structure. NiO is thermally stable that is suitable for tremendous applications in the field of optic, ceramic,glass, electro-chromic coatings, plastics, textiles, nanowires, nanofibers, electronics,energy technology, bio-medicine, magnetism and so on. In this present study, NiO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by sol-gel technique. Nano-sols were prepared by dissolving Nickel-Chloride [NiCl2.6H2O] in NaOH solvent and were converted into nano structured gel on precipitation. A systematic change in preparation parameters like calcination temperature, time, pH value has been noticed in order to predict the influence on crystallite size. Then the prepared samples were characterized by the X-ray Diffraction Spectroscopic (XRD), UV-VIS Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Particle Size Analyzer (PSA). From XRD, the average crystalline-size has been calculated by Debye-Scherrer Equation and it was found to be 12.17 nm and the band gap energy of Nickel oxide (NiO) from UV studies reveals around 3.85 eV. Further, EDX and FTIR studies, confirm the presences of NiO nanoparticles. The SEM study exhibits the spherical like morphology of Nickel oxide (NiO). Further from PSA, the mean value of NiO nanoparticles has been determined.
