Nickel as a catalyst for the electro-oxidation of methanol in alkaline medium

Powders of single-crystalline β-nickel hydroxide (β-Ni(OH)2) nanosheets with the hexagonal structure have been successfully synthesized by the hydrothermal method at 200 °C using nickel acetate as the nickel source and aqueous ammonia as both an alkaline and complexing reagent The yields of β-Ni(OH)2 nanosheet powders were higher than 924% This method is simple and low-cost for large-scale production of powders of single-crystalline β-Ni(OH)2 nanosheets Single-crystalline nickel oxide (NiO) nanosheets have been synthesized by thermal decomposition method at 400 °C for 2 h using single-crystalline β-Ni(OH)2 nanosheets as the precursor The sheet shape of β-Ni(OH)2 was sustained after thermal decomposition to NiO The as-prepared products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), differential scanning calorimetric analysis (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TG)

NiO nanoparticles modified with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyl pheyl)-porphyrin: promising peroxidase mimetics for H2O2 and glucose detection.

Electrooxidation of alcohols and sugars catalysed on a nickel oxide modified glassy carbon electrode

In a recent communication of ours we reported electrocatalytic properties of a glassy carbon (GC) electrode modified by Nickel hydroxide/Oxyhydroxide to various sugars and alcohols. The analytical utility of this redox system towards the estimation of a few biologically and clinically important compounds such as glucose, ascorbate, lactate and H2O2 is reported and in the present study details of these determinations based on amperometric detection, levels of these compounds detected and the interferences are discussed in this communication.
