Ammonia is considered to be a green energy due to its carbon-free footprint, high energy density, cheap transport costs and so on. However, the problem of NO x (mainly NO/NO 2 ) emissions especially at high temperature (>800 °C) inhibits the energy utilization progress of NH 3 (Such as NH 3 combustion). So, catalytic combustion of NH 3 is supposed to be a promising method to solve this problem but there is a rare report on that. The NO x emissions or N 2 selectivity performances in the NH 3 oxidation process with different catalyst was conducted with Density functional theory (DFT) and experimental studies. Results showed that, when Fe 2 O 3 was used as catalyst, the conversion efficiency of NH 3 was 96.2%, and the selectivity of N 2 was 97.7%, which was higher than oxidation of NH 3 without catalyst. DFT simulation showed that NH 3 and O 2 can be separately adsorbed on Fe (top) of Fe 2 O 3 (001), the adsorption of NH 3 and O 2 were enhanced when they were put on Fe (top) of Fe 2 O 3 (001) at the same time. Meanwhile, the length of inter-atomic bond increased thus creating oxygen vacancy , which promoted the oxidation of NH 3 . Finally, a Ni modified Fe-based catalyst (NiO10%/Fe 2 O 3 30%/Al 2 O 3 60%), full of oxygen vacancy (confirmed with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)), was fabricated with impregnation method. The adsorption of NH 3 and O 2 were further enhanced (confirmed by DFT simulation), the NH 3 conversion efficiency and the N 2 selectivity were stably improved to 96.8% and 100%.

Ni, Ce, and Ta modified Ti/SnO 2 –Sb 2 O 5 –RuO 2 anodes were first prepared by thermal decomposition strategy and applied for Orange G degradation to explore the effect of Ni, Ce, and Ta modification on electrocatalytic property. The Ta modified anode showed the highest ·OH generation capability and the lowest charge transfer resistance among all samples, conducive to electrocatalytic degradation of Orange G. Besides, the Ta modified anode shows more cracks than Ni and Ce modified anodes, which is expected to create more specific surface areas and more exposed active sites for Orange G degradation. The degradation efficiency and the total organic carbon (TOC) removal rate increased in the order Ru < Ru–Ni < Ru–Ce < Ru–Ta, with Ru–Ta showing the highest degradation efficiency of 98.6% and 44.2%, much higher than 79.6% and 27.5% of Ru, respectively.

In this study, a series of cost-effective and eco-friendly Ca-Mg-Al and Ni-modified Ca-Mg-Al catalysts were successfully synthesized with different methods (coprecipitation, impregnation and mechanical mixing method) and applied to catalytic pyrolysis vapor upgrading of oleic acid (OA) to produce gasoline-kerosene rich production using methanol as a hydrogen donor . In addition, the effects of the process parameters (catalyst type, OA to methanol ratio, pyrolysis/catalytic temperature, catalyst loading, feedstock injection volume) on the product yield and selectivity were explored, and the reuse properties and deactivation mechanism were also evaluated. Active Ni species coupled with methanol were more conducive to enhancing the catalyst activity and OA conversion and obviously increased the selectivity toward the gasoline-kerosene product. The impregnation method was favorable for the formation of NiAl 2 O 4 species, and coprecipitation method suppressed the formation of NiAl 2 O 4 species. The enhanced activity and deoxygenation selectivity of the coprecipitation method (NiCaMgAl) at lower pyrolysis temperatures was attributed to the abundant higher specific surface area and pore size, higher active metal oxide (Ni 2+ ) and well-active Ni dispersion with a smaller particle size, as well as the lower acidity and partially oxidized Ni, which suppressed the NiAl 2 O 4 spinel phase formation compared with the Ni/Ca-Mg/Al (impregnation) and Ca-Mg-Al (mixing) catalysts, which was beneficial to the decarbonylation/ decarboxylation reaction and inhibited the hydrocracking reaction of C C. Therefore, 100% conversion, 97.12% hydrocarbon yield, 54.53% gasoline and 58.80% kerosene content over NiCaMgAl catalyst were obtained under optimal conditions (pyrolysis/catalytic temperature = 450/500°C, catalyst loading = 1.5 g, feedstock injection volume = 0.1 ml/min and OA to methanol ratio = 3:1). Moreover, NiCaMgAl catalyst also demonstrated good reusability and hydrothermal stability performance due to the lower amount of coke deposition with a lower graphitized structure, which suppressed sintering.

Catalytic fast co-pyrolysis of biomass and plastic is an effective method to achieve high-quality bio-oil production. In this work, (Ni)-MCM-41 catalysts with different Ni loadings were prepared and characterized in detail by using a variety of advanced analytical techniques, and the effects on the catalytic performance were analyzed by micropyrolysis with gas chromatography mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) and thermogravimetry-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TG-FTIR) methods. The results showed that an appropriate amount of Ni addition can effectively modulate the physicochemical properties of MCM-41. For a Ni loading of 25.1 wt % (Cat-C), the catalyst showed an optimal catalytic performance, a decrease in the proportion of oxygenated compounds in the product from 35.6 (MCM-41) to 13.4%, and an increase in the relative total amount of olefins plus aromatics from 62.2 (MCM-41) to 84.6%. The excellent catalytic performance of Cat-C can be ascribed to a balancing of its proper physical structural properties, appropriate acidity, strong metal–carrier interaction, high metal dispersion, and excellent compatibility balance between active and acidic sites.

The development of visible light responsive photocatalysts for simultaneous production of hydrogen (H 2 ) fuel and value-added chemicals is greatly promising to solve the energy and environmental issues by improving the utilization efficiency of solar energy. Herein, the three-component Ni/(Au@CdS) core–shell nanostructures were constructed by the hydrothermal synthesis followed with photodeposition. The intimate integration of plasmonic Au nanospheres and visible-light responsive CdS shells modified with Ni cocatalyst facilitated the generation and separation of electron-hole pairs as well as reduced the overpotential of hydrogen evolution. The Ni/(Au@CdS) photocatalyst exhibited excellent performance toward the selective transformation of benzyl alcohol under anaerobic conditions, and the yields of H 2 and benzaldehyde reached up to 3882 and 4242 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 , respectively. The apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) was determined to be 4.09% under the irradiation of 420 nm. The systematic studies have verified the synergy of plasmonic effect and metal cocatalyst on enhancing the photocatalysis. This work highlights the desirable design and potential application of plasmonic photocatalysts for solar-driven coproduction of H 2 fuel and high-value chemicals.

Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are promising high-capacity anodes for Li-ion batteries, but their low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) hinders practical application. Here, a Ni/Mn 3 O 4 composite was prepared via ball milling, where nano-Ni dispersion enhanced phase transition, increasing ICE from 39.7 % to 57.8 %. Nano-Ni reduced charge transfer resistance and enhanced pseudocapacitance contribution, improving kinetics. DFT calculations revealed Ni’s catalytic role in lowering the Li O bond-breaking energy barrier and suppressing irreversible phase transitions. TEM confirmed Ni-promoted Mn 3 O 4 phase transformation and accelerated early-stage reaction kinetics. This study provides a strategy for designing conversion-type anodes with high ICE and kinetics.
