As a solar energy storage medium at moderate-to-high temperature, molten chlorate severally corrodes metal vessels. The corrosion behavior and mechanisms of pure nickel (Ni), GH4033 and GH4169 in 793 K molten eutectic NaCl-MgCl 2 were studied. During the initial stage of corrosion, pure Ni and GH4033 gain weight from the many plate-like shells formed on the sample surface. After corrosion for 40 h, all sample surfaces were rather porous and loosened. MgO nuclei that were attached to the loosened microstructure surface fell off with the microstructures, which led to a continual decrease in the sample weight. The three sample surfaces were mainly composed of MgO and Ni or (Ni, Fe) from the sample substrate. Al and Ti were preferentially oxidized and stably excited on the GH4033 surface, which inhibits the corrosion process. The corrosion rate of GH4169 was the highest for the δ phase, which is rich in Nb, and phase boundaries were corroded preferentially. In the anode reaction, metal atoms escape from the corrosion system in the form of chlorides or aqueous chlorides.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in water electrolysis. This study synthesizes a nickel-based MOF on a nickel foam substrate (NiMOF/NF) via a solvothermal method and fabricates NiMOF-FeOOH/NF composites through Fe electrodeposition. The NiMOF-FeOOH 600 /NF composite, prepared with a 600 s electrodeposition time, exhibits an overpotential of 320 mV at 20 mA·cm -2 and a Tafel slope of 126 mV·dec -1 . Compared to unmodified NiMOF/NF, the overpotential was reduced by 320 mV and the Tafel slope by 146 mV dec -1 . In addition, no significant performance degradation was observed during the 40 h stability test. Further results demonstrated that deposition of Fe ions significantly improved the intrinsic conductivity of NiMOF/NF, enabling more efficient charge transfer during the OER process. Additionally, the modified FeOOH surface morphology increased the number of accessible active sites and enhanced the exposure of catalytic centers. In summary, these structural and electronic modifications synergistically improve the overall catalytic performance and have guiding significance for the application of MOF to OER.

Weak hierarchical rough structures on superhydrophobic surfaces hinder their practical industrial applications. This paper reports a strategy to fabricate robust nickel-based superhydrophobic coatings via the codeposition of nanosized WS 2 and WC particles. The Ni/WC/WS 2 composite coatings were synthesized on mild steel substrates by one-pot electroplating followed by the adsorption of stearic acid self-assembled monolayers to modify the surface wetting. The particle concentration in the bath was investigated and the maximum water contact angle of approx. 170° was achieved by optimizing the particle contained. Hardened by WC and lubricated by WS 2 inclusions the superhydrophobic coatings showed remarkable abrasive resistance with a bearing capacity ≥10,000 mm abrasion length. The coatings also showed aerophilic behavior and good environmental stability over >6 months.

Abstract Catalytic conversion of biomass based platform chemicals to value added chemicals has attracted much attention recently. In this work, Ni-based catalysts were developed for the conversion of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone. By investigation of reduction behavior of NiO, it was found that a relatively low reduction temperature (300°C) can provide the reduction of NiO to Ni 0 . The high reduction temperature (500°C) generally applied in literature is not necessary. The effect of supports was also studied, and hierarchical AlPO 4 -5 (AlPO 4 -5-meso) supported Ni showed the best catalytic performance due to the proper pore size of AlPO 4 -5-meso, which contains both micropores and mesopores. The effect of Ni loading was also investigated, 10 wt % of Ni is enough for this reaction, which is lower than the reported amount of Ni loading. By using Ni/AlPO 4 -5-meso with 10 wt % Ni as catalyst, 84% γ-valerolactone yield and 100% levulinic acid conversion can be obtained after reaction for 10 h at 180°C.

In this work, we report the discovery of a new Ni-based quasi-one-dimensional selenide: Cs0.9Ni3.1Se3. This compound adopts the TlFe3Te3-type structure with space group P63/m, which consists of infinite [Ni3Se3] chains with face-sharing Ni6 octahedra along the c direction. The lattice parameters are calculated as a = 9.26301(4) Å and c = 4.34272(2) Å, with the Ni–Ni distance in the ab plane as 2.582(3) Å, suggesting the formation of a Ni–Ni metallic bond in this compound. Interestingly, it has been found that Cs0.9Ni3.1Se3 is nonstoichiometric, which is different from the other TlFe3Te3-type phases reported so far. Structure refinement shows that the extra Ni atom in the structure may occupy the 2c site, together with Cs atoms. Cs0.9Ni3.1Se3 shows metallic behavior with monotonously decreased resistivity with temperatures from 300 to 0.5 K. Measurements on the magnetic susceptibility display a spin-glass state below 7 K. The specific heat curve gives a Sommerfeld coefficient of 14.6 mJ·K–2·mol–1 and a Debye temperature of 143.6 K. The discovery of this new compound enriches the diversity of low-dimensional materials in a transition-metal-based family and also sheds light on the structure–property relationship of this system.

High heat duty is an urgent challenge for industrial applications of amine-based CO 2 capture. The temperature (>110°C) of carbamate breakdown in amine regeneration requires large energy consumption. In this work, we report a novel, stable, efficient, and inexpensive Ni-HZSM-5 catalyst to improve the CO 2 desorption rate and reduce the heat duty. The impregnation method was applied for varying nickel content in the catalysts from 2.16 to 9.80 wt% in HZSM-5. The catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscope, X-ray powder diffraction, N 2 adsorption–desorption, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, NH 3 -temperature programmed desorption (TPD), Infrared spectroscopy of pyridine adsorption, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The catalytic performance was evaluated by CO 2 desorption of rich amine solvent at 90°C. It was found that the introduction of nickel increased the acid sites of catalysts compared with parent HZSM-5. This phenomenon plays a key role on improving the CO 2 desorption rate. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations successfully explain the catalytic performance. The catalytic activity associates with the combined properties of MSA × B/L × Ni 2+ . The 7.85-Ni-HZ catalyst presents an excellent catalytic activity for the CO 2 desorption: it increases the amount of desorbed CO 2 up to 36%, reduces the relative heat duty by 27.07% with the same reaction time, and possesses high stability during five cyclic tests. A possible catalytic mechanism for the Ni-HZSM-5 catalysts through assisting carbamate breakdown and promoting CO 2 desorption is proposed based on experimental results and theoretical calculations. Therefore, the results present that the 7.85-Ni-HZ catalyst significantly accelerates the protons transfer in CO 2 desorption and can potentially apply in industrial CO 2 capture.

In this study, a nickel (Ni)-based catalyst was loaded onto steel slag that was rich in metal oxides using impregnation method. The effects of the catalyst on hydrogen-rich gas produced using sludge steam gasification were discussed. Under the conditions of 900 ℃, steam flowrate of 1.5 g min −1 and 20% Ni-based loading rate, the gas and H 2 yield reached 0.78 Nm 3 kg −1 and 15.72 mol kg −1 . At this time, the volume fraction of H 2 was as high as 45.096%. Compared with the raw sludge gasification without Ni-based catalyst, the gas and H 2 yield were increased by 39.22% and 60.15% respectively. However, excessive flowrate of steam (≥1.5 g min −1 ) and excessive rate of loading of Ni-based (≥25%) catalyst would lead to a decrease in the production of gas. In addition, the impregnation method could effectively disperse NiO particles on the surface of the support, increasing the ratio of active sites on the surface of catalyst and improving the catalytic activity. These characteristics indicated that the Ni-based steel slag catalysts prepared by the impregnation method had high application potential in the process of sludge steam gasification, and provided a novel idea for solid wastes recycling.

Owing to the isothermal solidification of eutectic Au-Si filler, GH3039 joints were successfully manufactured at 430 °C. After Ti modified, GH3039 joints that could endure 800 °C were creatively achieved through the transformation of reaction layers. Dispersed Ni 49 Ti 14 Si 37 whiskers and CrSi 2 fine particle layer formed at the interface instead of continuous Ni 3 Si layer. This improved the joint shear strength to 131 MPa at room temperature and 15 MPa at 800 °C. Joining at low temperature but applying at high temperature offers a new option for the dissimilar bonding of Ni-based superalloy and ceramics that is in need of the residual stress alleviation.

LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 (LNCA) cathode materials have an extremely high energy density, which can greatly enhance the driving range of pure electric vehicles if they are used in on-board batteries. However, the development of the LNCA cathode material is restricted by the expensive transition metal cobalt (Co). Therefore, researchers are devoted to finding other metals to replace Co to synthesize nickel (Ni)-rich Co-free materials to reduce the cost. To investigate the feasibility of replacing Co with manganese (Mn) as a transition metal, this paper reports the synthesis and compares the properties of four Ni-rich materials with different Co–Mn contents by gradually adding Mn to LNCA materials and reducing the Co content in equal amounts using an oxalic acid coprecipitation method. The results show that Mn can compensate the effect of Co deficiency to a certain extent; it is feasible to use Mn to completely replace Co in the synthesis of Ni-rich ternary Co-free materials under the premise of sacrificing a certain initial specific capacity. The tetrameric material LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.05Al0.05O2 substituted with trace amounts of Mn exhibited the most excellent electrochemical properties among the four synthesized materials. Therefore, to synthesize satisfactory Ni-rich Co-free materials, it is suggested to develop and synthesize quaternary Co-free materials on the basis of LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.05Al0.05O2.

Thermochemically upcycling waste plastics to value-added products is emerging to alleviate the waste crisis. This study aims to develop highly active and stable Ni-based catalysts for coupling pyrolysis and catalytic reforming of waste plastics to produce syngas. A series of confined NiO@S-1 catalysts with various Ni loadings (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) were constructed by employing dissolution-recrystallization strategy. They were in situ reduced and 15%NiO@S-1 sample showed the highest catalytic activity in terms of yield of syngas with high CO selectivity and was superior to 15%NiO/S-1 and 15%NiO/SiO 2 samples prepared by impregnation method. The TEM images of 15%NiO@S-1 catalyst after reaction showed that metallic Ni nanoparticles with average size of 10.1 nm were kept dispersive due to the confinement effect. In contrast, the apparent agglomeration of Ni nanoparticles with average size of 54.9 nm were found on the surface of 15%NiO/S-1 after reaction. This provides an effective strategy for design robust Ni-based confined catalysts for thermochemically upcycling waste plastics.

Robust Ni-based nanocatalysts supported on boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS), modified by Sm 2 O 3 , were synthesized via the co-impregnation and freeze-drying methods. The optimized 8Ni-8Sm 2 O 3 /BNNS catalysts demonstrated remarkable initial catalytic activity during the combined steam and dry reforming of biogas, achieving CH 4 and CO 2 conversions of 95 % and 46 %, respectively, and maintaining stable performance for 200 h. The introduction of Sm 2 O 3 improved the amount of moderately basic sites and enhanced the activation of oxygen-containing molecules including CO 2 and H 2 O, thereby promoting the formation of reactive oxygen species (e.g., O*, OH*) and effectively removing the coke precursors, significantly enhancing the carbon resistance. Moreover, the strong interaction between the small-sized Ni nanoparticles (NPs) and the BNNS support endowed the catalysts with excellent anti-sintering performance. The satisfactory catalytic performance of the 8Ni-8Sm 2 O 3 /BNNS catalysts can be attributed to the surface oxygen vacancies generated by Sm 2 O 3 , the moderately basic sites, and interaction between the highly dispersed Ni NPs and the BNNS support.

Glycerol, a major byproduct of biodiesel production, is commonly used as an inexpensive feedstock for hydrogen (H 2 ) production through catalytic reforming. Developing efficient Ni-based catalysts with appropriate supports remains a challenge. In this study, three Ni-based catalysts, each containing 10 wt% Ni with different supports: carbon nanofibers (Ni@CNF), activated carbon (Ni/AC), and alumina (Ni/γ-Al 2 O 3 ), were comparatively evaluated for their effectiveness in the catalytic steam reforming of glycerol. The results show that both the catalyst support and the reforming temperature influence the co-production of H 2 and carbon nanotubes. All three catalysts exhibit good catalytic performance of H 2 production at 700 °C for 1 h. The corresponding H 2 yields, based on a steam-glycerol molar ratio of 11.9 and a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min, are 86.5%, 81.3%, and 69.2% for Ni@CNF, Ni/AC, and Ni/Al 2 O 3 , respectively. Ni@CNF demonstrates high H 2 production and good catalytic stability, whereas Ni/Al 2 O 3 generates high-yield carbon nanotubes.
