Synthesis and applications of nickel-based nanomaterials
Chiranjibi Dhakal, Samjhana Dahal, Prakash Lamichhane, Ratiram Chaudhary, Rameshwar Adhikari
Nanoparticles (NPs), due to their small size, exhibit unique and enhanced properties compared to bulk materials possessing potential applications in energy conversion technology, catalysis, environmental remediation, technological advancements, medicine, etc. In this chapter, we discuss the synthesis process of Nickel NPs (Ni-NPs) and nickel-based nanomaterials. The basic synthetic technique considering the bottom-up approach and top-down approach are discussed. ‘Green’ synthesis of Ni-NPs production is the central focus of the study because it promotes sustainability, enhances biocompatibility, and supports safer and more cost-effective methods. The extracts obtained from different parts of plants (such as Ocimum sanctum, Medicago sativa, Azadirachta Psidium guajava, etc.) are used for the biosynthesis of nickel-based NMs. It has been found that biosynthesized Ni-NPs constitute a broad spectrum of applications in antimicrobial, antileishmanial, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic activity, drug delivery, battery electrodes, wastewater management, and biosensors. Strategies are still to be developed to overcome the issues of disparity in particle size, stability, shapes, and nanoparticle yield.
