COVID-19 and stroke: a thromboembolic hypothesis

A new nickel based layered double hydroxide nanomaterial, Ni0.8Ce0.2-LDH, constituted by about 3 nm large nanoparticles exhibiting enhanced electrocatalytic properties towards oxidation of glycerol in alkaline media, was prepared by incorporation of 20 wt.% of CeIII ions into α-nickel hydroxide. This can be oxidized to CeIV, as demonstrated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, a much electron withdrawing and oxidizing species responsible for electronic interactions and additional electrocatalytic active sites giving rise to synergic effects. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy im...
