Catalysis:

Environmental Catalysis: NiO nanopowder is widely used as a catalyst for environmental protection. It aids in the oxidation of pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). NiO-based catalysts can reduce harmful emissions from industrial processes and vehicle exhaust.

Fuel Cells: NiO nanopowder plays a role as a catalyst in hydrogen fuel cells, where it aids in the oxidation of hydrogen, contributing to more efficient energy conversion and better fuel cell performance.

Water Splitting for Hydrogen Production: NiO nanoparticles are studied for their role in electrochemical water splitting, where they act as catalysts in producing hydrogen from water. This is a promising method for generating clean hydrogen fuel for sustainable energy.

Energy Storage:

Supercapacitors: The high surface area and good conductivity of NiO nanopowder make it an ideal material for supercapacitors, which store and deliver energy quickly. NiO-based supercapacitors have improved energy density and stability, making them suitable for use in electric vehicles, portable electronics, and renewable energy storage systems.

Batteries: NiO nanopowder is used as an electrode material in lithium-ion and nickel-based batteries. Its high capacity and stability help improve the efficiency, cycle life, and energy density of these energy storage devices.

Electrocatalysis: NiO nanopowder can be used in batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells for electrocatalytic applications, improving charge/discharge cycles and energy efficiency.

Sensors:

Gas Sensors: NiO nanopowder is widely used in gas sensors for detecting gases like carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and VOCs. These sensors find applications in air quality monitoring, industrial safety, and environmental monitoring.

Humidity Sensors: NiO-based sensors can detect changes in humidity by altering their electrical resistance when exposed to moisture. These sensors are useful in climate control, environmental monitoring, and industrial applications.
