The anti-adherence and bactericidal activity of sol–gel derived nickel oxide nanostructure films: solvent effect

Determination of certain sol-gel growth parameters of nickel oxide films

“…Better optical properties for methanol solvent are probably resulted from good crystal properties observed from structural properties. Talebian et al [22] also reported that the highest optical band gap of NiO films was obtained for methanol solvent.…”

“…[18]. In the literature, NiO thin films have been grown as functions of spin layer number [7,14,19], sol-solution pH [20], annealing temperature [4,9,14,21], solvent type [22] and annealing ambient [14] in order to understand the effect of solgel spin coating growth parameters on the features of NiO films. However, according to our best knowledge, there has been no report on the fabrication of NiO film depending on sol-gel precursor solution molarity and there is only one study on effect of solution solvent type.…”

Synthesis and characterization of NiO nanoparticles by chemical as well as green routes and their comparisons with respect to cytotoxic effect and toxicity studies in microbial and MCF-7 cancer cell models

“…Ramasami et al [13] investigated antimicrobial activity against the two bacterial (Bacillus cereus and Klebsiella aerogenes) strains and one fungal (Candida albicans) treated with NiO NPs. Talebian et al [14] tested the antibacterial activity of NiO NPs against two common food borne pathogenic bacteria Stapylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.…”

Hierarchical growth of nickel oxyhydroxide on bacterial cellulose hydrogel: role of water channels in hydrogel to form hierarchical structure

“…Several methods have been introduced to coat the nickel hydroxide, oxyhydroxide, and oxide on BC. These methods are microwave‐assisted, sol–gel, autoclave, and chemical bath deposition . The main limitations within the microwave‐assisted, sol–gel, and autoclave are highlighted by the requirement of high energy, long stirring time, and complicated aging process, respectively.…”

“…These methods are microwave-assisted, sol-gel, autoclave, and chemical bath deposition. [25][26][27][28] The main limitations within the microwave-assisted, sol-gel, and autoclave are highlighted by the requirement of high energy, long stirring time, and complicated aging process, respectively. For example, in the autoclave method, BC was used to form the magnetic nanoparticles; very high temperature was required, which complicated the overall procedure.…”
