“…Consequently, many studies in the corresponding literature deal with the different properties of Ni nanorods that are synthesized by electrodeposition into porous templates. Among others, the studied topics account for optical, magnetic, crystallographic and compositional properties [ 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 ]. Within the current review, we focus on Ni nanorod applications that enable to examine phenomena that are additional to the determination of the physical properties of bare Ni nanorods only.…”

The growing number of nanoparticle applications in science and industry is leading to increasingly complex nanostructures that fulfill certain tasks in a specific environment. Nickel nanorods already possess promising properties due to their magnetic behavior and their elongated shape. The relevance of this kind of nanorod in a complex measurement setting can be further improved by suitable surface modification and functionalization procedures, so that customized nanostructures for a specific application become available. In this review, we focus on nickel nanorods that are synthesized by electrodeposition into porous templates, as this is the most common type of nickel nanorod fabrication method. Moreover, it is a facile synthesis approach that can be easily established in a laboratory environment. Firstly, we will discuss possible applications of nickel nanorods ranging from data storage to catalysis, biosensing and cancer treatment. Secondly, we will focus on nickel nanorod surface modification strategies, which represent a crucial step for the successful application of nanorods in all medical and biological settings. Here, the immobilization of antibodies or peptides onto the nanorod surface adds another functionality in order to yield highly promising nanostructures.

“…Ni-based nanowires have been synthesized by several chemical and physical routes, including electrodeposition on 1D materials (e.g., carbon nanotubes [ 20 ]) or templates (e.g., polycarbonate membranes [ 21 ]), electroless plating [ 22 ], chemical vapor deposition [ 23 ], microwave-assisted synthesis [ 24 ], solvothermal [ 25 ] and wet chemical processes [ 26 ]. Ni and NiO nanowires have been also prepared by electrospinning [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”

Nickel is set to play a crucial role to substitute the less-abundant platinum in clean electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices and catalysis. The controlled design of Ni nanomaterials is essential to fine-tune their properties to match these applications. A systematic study of electrospinning and thermal post-treatment parameters has been performed to synthesize Ni materials and tune their morphology (fibers, ribbons, and sponge-like structures) and composition (metallic Ni, NiO, Ni/C, Ni3N and their combinations). The obtained Ni-based spun materials have been characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. The possibility of upscaling and the versatility of electrospinning open the way to large-scale production of Ni nanostructures, as well as bi- and multi-metal systems for widened applications.

“…In recent years, transition metal nanoparticles (Fe, Co, and Ni) have received much attention owing to their wide applications in catalysis, optical, electronic, and magnetic devices [1,2]. There are many various techniques that are used for making metal nanoparticles with different morphologies such as spherical nanoparticles [3], triangles [4], nanorods [5], chains [2], and nanowires [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Anisotropic magnetic nanomaterials are known to exhibit unique magnetic properties due to which one-dimensional (1D) nanostructured materials have great potential for use in optical, electronic, and magnetic devices [12,13].…”

“…The surfactants, acting as capping agents, can change the ratio of the growth rates of different crystallographic planes of the particles and result in the formation of one-dimensional nanostructures. Generally, PVP is used as the surfactant which can direct the growth of wire-like structures and prevent them from aggregation [2,11]. Apart from that, the formation of nanorods was shown to be promoted by a high hexadecylamine content in the reaction medium [26].…”

Nickel linear nanostructures were synthesized by reduction of nickel formate with hydrazine hydrate in ethylene glycol medium in the absence of any surfactants or capping agents for direction of the particles growth. The effect of the synthesis conditions such as temperature, reduction time, type of polyol, and nickel formate concentration on the reduction products was studied. The size and morphology of the nickel nanowires were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy. It was shown that the nickel nanocrystallites were wire-shaped with a face-center-cubic phase. Ethylene glycol was found to play a crucial role in the formation of the nickel nanowires. The possible growth processes of the wire-shaped particles taking place at 110 and 130°C are discussed. It was shown that, under certain synthesis conditions, nickel nanowires grow on the surface of the crystals of the solid intermediate of nickel with hydrazine hydrate.
