Mg-Ni nanoparticles were synthesized by a physical vapor condensation method (DC arc-discharge) in a mixture of argon and hydrogen atmosphere, using compressed mixture of micro powders as the raw materials. The crystal phases, morphology, and microstructures of nanoparticles were analyzed by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). It was found that the intermetallic compounds of $Mg_2Ni$ and $Mg_2Ni$ formed with existence of phases of Mg, Ni, and MgO in Mg-Ni nanoparticles. After one cycle of hydrogen absorption/desorption process (activation treatment), Mg-Ni nanoparticles exhibited excellent hydrogen absorption properties. $Mg_2Ni$ phase became the main phase by aphase transformation during the hydrogen treatments. The phenomenon of refinement of grain size in the nanoparticle was also observed after the hydrogen absorption/desorption processes, which was attributed to the effect of volume expansion/shrinkage and subsequent break of nanoparticles. Maximum hydrogen absorption contents are 1.75, 2.21 and 2.77 wt.% at 523, 573 and 623 K, respectively.

Magnetic nanoparticles can potentially be used in drug delivery systems and for hyperthermia therapy. The applicability of $Fe_3O_4$, $CoFe_2O_4$, $MgFe_2O_4$, and $NiFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles for the same was studied by evaluating their magnetization, thermal efficiency, and biocompatibility. $Fe_3O_4$ and $CoFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles exhibited large magnetization. $Fe_3O_4$ and $NiFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles exhibited large induction heating. $MgFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles exhibited low magnetization compared to the other nanoparticles. $NiFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles were found to be cytotoxic, whereas the other nanoparticles were not cytotoxic. This study indicates that $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles could be the most suitable ones for hyperthermia therapy.

We have investigated the addition effect of NiO magnetic nanoparticles on crystal structure, microstructure as well as superconducting properties of $MgB_2$. NiO-added $MgB_2$ samples were prepared by the solid-state reaction method. The superconducting transition temperature ($T_c$) of 37.91 K was obtained for pure $MgB_2$, and $T_c$ was found to decrease systematically on increasing the addition level of NiO. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that no substitution of Ni for Mg in the lattice of $MgB_2$ was occurred. The microstructural analysis shows that the pure $MgB_2$ sample consists of plate shape $MgB_2$ grains, and the grains get refined to smaller size with the addition of NiO nanoparticles. At 5 K, high values of critical current density ($J_c$) were obtained for small amount NiO-added $MgB_2$ samples as compared to pure sample. The enhancement in $J_c$ could be attributed to the refinement of $MgB_2$ grains which leads to high density of grain boundaries in NiO-added $MgB_2$ samples.

본 연구에서는 다섯 종의 씨앗(춘채, 아욱, 양배추, 배추, 당근)을 이용하여 금속산화물 나노입자(CuO, NiO, Fe₂O₃, Co₃O₄, TiO₂, ZnO)들이 씨앗발아와 발아지수에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. CuO, ZnO, NiO 나노입자는 씨앗 활성에 뚜렷한 독성 영향을 나타내었으며, 나노입자종류에 따라 상이한 민감도를 나타내었다. 각 나노입자에 대한 독성순서(EC₅₀ 범위)는 다음과 같다: CuO 6~27 mg/L > ZnO 16~86 mg/L > NiO 48~112 mg/L. 나머지 조사 대상 나노입자인 Co₃O₄, TiO₂, Fe₂O₃은 최대 1,000 mg/L 높은 농도 노출에도 뚜렷한 영향을 나타내지 않았다. 씨앗별 상이한 민감도를 나타내었으며, 가장 민감한 종인 아욱의 씨앗발아 EC₅₀은 CuO 5.5 mg/L ZnO 16.4 mg/L, NiO 53.4 mg/L로 조사되었다. 씨앗별 나노입자에 대한 독성 영향은 CuO > ZnO > NiO > Fe₂O₃ ≈ Co₃O₄ ≈ TiO₂ 나타났으나, 당근씨앗은 NiO [EC₅₀ 80.4(71.41~90.54) mg/L]와 ZnO [EC₅₀ 85.8(69.31~106.29) mg/L]가 유사한 독성을 나타내었다.

본 연구에서는 중금속 7종(Cu, Cd, Cr, As(III), As(V), Zn, Ni) 및 나노입자 5종(CuO, ZnO, NiO, $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$)에 대한 독성을 수계 대표 생물종인 녹조류 Chlorella vulgaris를 이용한 생물검정법으로 평가하였다. 조류에 미치는 영향은 흡광도, 클로로필 및 개체수 측정에 대한 결과를 통합하여 평가하였다. 중금속의 통합결과독성($TEC_{50}$) 순서는 Cr ($0.7mgL^{-1}$) > Cu ($1.7mgL^{-1}$) > Cd ($3.2mgL^{-1}$) > Zn ($3.9mgL^{-1}$) > Ni ($13.2mgL^{-1}$) > As(III) ($17.8mgL^{-1}$) ${\gg}$ As(V) (> $1000mgL^{-1}$)로 나타났다. 중금속은 측정종말점에 따라 일부 상이한 민감도와 독성이 조사되었다. 나노입자의 독성($TEC_{50}$) 순서는 ZnO ($2.4mgL^{-1}$) > NiO ($21.1mgL^{-1}$) > CuO ($36.6mgL^{-1}$) > $TiO_2$ ($62.5mgL^{-1}$) > $Fe_2O_3$ ($82.7mgL^{-1}$)로 나타났다. 나노입자는 측정종말점간에 비슷한 민감도와 독성을 보였다. 따라서 오염물의 독성을 평가하기 위해서 단일 방법에 의한 결과보다는 다양한 측정종말점의 통합결과에 근거한 접근이 적절할 것이다.

In the present study, novel chitosan coated magnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were successfully biosynthesized from mushroom, Agaricus campestris, extract. The obtained bio-nanocomposite material was used to investigate ultra-fast and highly efficient for removal of Ni2+ ions in a fixed-bed column. Chitosan was treated as polyelectrolyte complex with Fe3O4 nanoparticles and a Fungal Bio-Nanocomposite Material (FBNM) was derived. The FBNM was characterized by using X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Fourier Transform Infrared spectra (FTIR) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) techniques and under varied experimental conditions. The influence of some important operating conditions including pH, flow rate and initial Ni2+ concentration on the uptake of Ni2+ solution was also optimized using a synthetic water sample. A Central Composite Design (CCD) combined with Response Surface Modeling (RSM) was carried out to maximize Ni2+ removal using FBNM for adsorption process. A regression model was derived using CCD to predict the responses and analysis of variance (ANOVA) and lack of fit test was used to check model adequacy. It was observed that the quadratic model, which was controlled and proposed, was originated from experimental design data. The FBNM maximum adsorption capacity was determined as 59.8 mg g-1. Finally, developed method was applied to soft drinks to determine Ni2+ levels. Reusability of FBNM was tested, and the adsorption and desorption capacities were not affected after eight cycles. The paper suggests that the FBNM is a promising recyclable nanoadsorbent for the removal of Ni2+ from various soft drinks.

오염수로부터 자성분리가 가능하며, 방사성 세슘을 효율적으로 제거하기 위한 코발트 페로시아나이드(cobalt ferrocyanide, CoFC) 혹은 니켈 페로시아나이드(nickel ferrocyanide, NiFC)가 도입된 자성입자 흡착제를 제조하였다. $Fe_3O_4$ 나노입자는 공침법을 이용해 제조하였고, $Co^{2+}$와 $Ni^{2+}$ 이온을 입자 표면에 도입시키기 위해 금속이온과 금속 배위결합(metalcoordination)을 하는 카르복실기를 포함한 숙신산(succinic acid, SA)을 자성나노입자(magnetic nanoparticles, MNPs) 표면에 코팅하였다. CoFC와 NiFC는 자성나노입자 표면에 도입된 $Co^{2+}$ 혹은 $Ni^{2+}$ 이온이 hexacynoferrate와 결합하여 형성된다. 제조된 CoFC-MNPs 그리고 NiFC-MNPs는 각각 $43.2emu{\cdot}g^{-1}$, $47.7emu{\cdot}g^{-1}$의 우수한 포화자화 값을 보여주었다. X-선 회절분석(XRD), 퓨리에 변환 적외선 분광분석(FT-IR), 나노입자 입도 분석기(DLS), 투과전자현미경(TEM) 등의 분석을 통해 흡착제의 물성을 파악하고, 세슘에 대한 흡착 성능을 알아보았다. 흡착실험을 평가하기 위해 Langmuir/Freundlich 등온흡착식을 이용해 실험 결과 값을 곡선맞춤 하였고, CoFC-MNPs와 NiFC-MNPs의 최대흡착량($q_m$)은 각각 $15.63mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$, $12.11mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$이다. CoFC-MNPs와 NiFC-MNPs는 방사성 세슘에 대해서도 최저 99.09%의 제거율을 가지며, 경쟁이온의 존재에도 방사성 세슘만을 선택적으로 흡착한다.
