NiCo layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) was explored as electrocatalyst for nonenzymatic detection of H2O2, in which NiCo-LDH with different morphologies were synthesized through a hydrothermal method, and then acid-etched NiCo-LDH (E-NiCo-LDH) was obtained via an acid-base reaction. The morphology, composition and structure were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Electrochemical measurements reveal that E-NiCo-LDH exhibits an excellent electrocatalytic activity toward H2O2 oxidation and the sensor based on E-NiCo-LDH is able to detect H2O2 in a linear range of 2.0 μM to 1.1 mM with a high sensitivity of 728.6 μA mM−1 cm−2 and a low detection limit of 0.2 μM (S/N = 3). This indicated that E-NiCo-LDH is a promising material for electrochemical sensing of H2O2.

The multi-component synergy of electrode materials and structural engineering are crucial for high-performance supercapacitors. Herein, a novel sandwich-like MXene@NiCo-layered double hydroxides (LDHs)/Co 9 S 8 nanostructure is rational synthesized, which with rich pores can significantly facilitate the diffusion of electrolyte ions and boost high charge transfer capability. Besides, the interaction forces between components promote the integration of multidimensional materials, and the resulting hybrid structure significantly improves the electrochemical efficiency through synergistic effects. Remarkably, the obtained MXene@NiCo-LDH/Co 9 S 8 composites exhibit a high specific capacitance of 808.0 F g −1 at a low current density of 1 A g −1 , the value is nearly 1.4 times MXene@NiCo-LDH (586.2 F g −1 ), as well as good rate capability (512.0 F g −1 at 10 A g −1 ). Besides, the fabricated supercapacitor device (MXene@NiCo-LDH/Co 9 S 8 //activated carbon) showed an outstanding energy density of 96.4 Wh kg −1 at 800 W kg −1 ), and good cyclic performance of 70.26 % capacitance retention even over 9000 cycles. This research may provide a promising strategy for developing two-dimensional layered materials as an electrode material in energy storage applications.

NiCo x P @ NiCo-LDH catalysts are prepared by phosphating NiCo nanosheets on NiCo-layered double hydroxide (LDH) with multi-layer heterostructure . The NiCo x P @ NiCo-LDH could undergo electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution from the methanol/water mixture and value-added formate co-production. During the electrocatalytic reactions, the phosphating NiCo x P nanosheets could greatly improve the electron transfer efficiency, and it has a synergistic effect with heterostructures to enhance the electrocatalytic performance. During the hydrogen evolution and methanol oxidation reactions, the potential is only 0.132 and 1.23 V when the current density reaches 10 mA cm −2 . Meanwhile, the NiCo x P @ NiCo-LDH symmetric two-electrode electrolyzer has a lower potential of only 1.43 V at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 and the Faraday efficiency of the production of formate and H 2 is nearly 100%. The electrocatalysts also display excellent stability during the water/methanol co-electrolysis.

Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a harmful gas of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and its removal is essential to protect human health. Low-temperature elimination of HCHO by non-noble catalysts is one of the most crucial research topics nowadays. Herein, ultrathin MnO 2 nanosheets grown on Ni-Co layered double hydroxide nanocages (NiCo-LDH@MnO 2 ) were fabricated via a hydrothermal method and subsequently used to eliminate HCHO at low temperature. The NiCo-LDH@MnO 2 -1 catalysts (mass ratio of NiCo-LDH to KMnO 4 of 1:1) performed excellent catalytic activity towards HCHO (100 ppm) at 80 °C. After the fifth cycles, the NiCo-LDH@MnO 2 -1 exhibited excellent stable activity towards the oxidation of HCHO. According to the physicochemical characterization analysis, the enhanced catalytic activity over NiCo-LDH@MnO 2 is attributed to the unique hollow nanocage structure, suitable composition , as well as the synergistic influence of MnO 2 and NiCo-LDH. The results of in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) presented that the abundant active species (e.g., O 2 − , O − and –OH) can contribute to the adsorption of HCHO on the surface of NiCo-LDH@MnO 2 and promote to oxidize HCHO into the DOM, formate, and carbonate species. Furthermore, NiCo-LDH@MnO 2 displayed good durability for low concentration HCHO (∼9 ppm) at room temperature under 12 h, indicating that the NiCo-LDH@MnO 2 is competitive and inexpensive efficient catalysts for the applications of indoor HCHO purification.

Transition metal sulfides are widely recognized for their low cost, low toxicity, high safety, and potential as a positive electrode material for supercapacitors. However, due to its own volume effect, it usually has poor capacitance retention as positive electrode materials. Herein, the NiS/NiCo-LDH (Layered double hydroxide, LDH) electrodes with considerable practical application potential is designed and prepared. The composite electrodes are prepared by a simple two-step electrodeposition process. The NiS/NiCo-LDH electrode, with its rational design, exhibits more superior electrochemical performance compared to a single NiS electrode. The NiS/NiCo-LDH electrode shows a mass specific capacitance of 2620 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g, which is 1.88 times that of the single NiS electrode. Furthermore, the assembled NiS/NiCo-LDH//AC hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) device achieves an energy density of 93.3 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 800 W kg −1 . Therefore, this work provides a new strategy for preparing supercapacitor electrode materials with excellent electrochemical performance.

Engineering a heterogeneous structure with distinctive morphology and nanostructure is deemed to be an efficacious tactic for realising high energy density supercapacitors (SCs). Herein, the FeCo 2 S 4 @NiCo-LDH(FeCoS@NiCo-LDH)/NF nanocomposite heterostructure is successfully constructed through a facile two-step electrodeposition method. This heterostructure merges the merits of FeCoS with high electrical conductivity and NiCo-LDH with ultra-high specific surface area, which not only can deliver sufficient electroactive central sites, but also provide shorter routes for expedited ion diffusion, even more significantly, the heterogeneous interfaces that emerge in composites can moderate their electronic structure and augment electrical conductivity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that the heterostructured FeCoS@NiCo-LDH/NF displays preferable electrochemical activeness and enhanced adsorption ability. Thanks to the abundance of heterogeneous interfaces and synergistic effects of the various active ingredients, FeCoS/NiCo-LDH electrodes exhibit an extraordinary specific capacity of 930 C g −1 at 1 A g −1 together with remarkable cycle longevity (10.9 % capacity decay after 10,000 cycles). In addition, a hybrid FeCoS@NiCo-LDH/NF//AC exhibits a high energy density of 52.81 Wh kg −1 at the 750 W kg −1 .

Carbon materials can act as electron transfer media to effectively enhance photocatalytic performance. In this study, carbon dots (CDs) were prepared using green tea to modify Ni 2 P/NiCo-LDH heterostructures. Benefitting from the Co-P bond formed between Ni 2 P and NiCo-LDH and biomass CDs, charge transfer was improved via dual channel. Ni 2 P and CDs acted as active sites for improving the photocatalytic performance. Owing to the synergistic process, the photoresponse capability of CDs/Ni 2 P/NiCo-LDH was significantly increased. In addition, the possible active species in the photocatalytic process are discussed. This study provides a design for ternary photocatalysts with carbon materials and phosphides.

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), composed of typical lamellar architectures, have become splendid electroactive materials for supercapacitors by means of large specific surface area and high theoretical capacitance. However, severe agglomerations and poor conductivities of single LDHs are disadvantageous to obtain the excellent electrochemical performance. Herein, polypyrrole nanotubes (PNTs) with good conductivity and mechanical capacity were prepared for in situ growth of ZIF-67, and the obtained PNT@ZIF-67 nanocomposites could serve as effective sacrificial templates and Co2+ sources. After a facile solvothermal reaction and acid etching, three-dimension hierarchical PNT-interconnected nickel cobalt-layered double hydroxide (PNT@NiCo-LDH) nanocages were successfully synthesized to construct the supercapacitors, in which the formed networking hierarchical structure could facilitate the uniform distribution of ZIF-67-derived NiCo-LDH nanocages, not only providing an enhanced conductivity and cycling stability but also achieving outstanding specific capacitance (1448.2 F g–1 at 1 A g–1). Additionally, the asymmetric supercapacitor, assembled by positive PNT@NiCo-LDH and negative activated carbon, could achieve an excellent energy density of 64.4 Wh kg–1 at 800 W kg–1 and endure a satisfactory cycling stability with 84.3% capacitance retention over 5000 cycles, which was superior to the electrochemical properties of the NiCo-LDH-dependent asymmetric supercapacitor, showing a promising prospect in high-performance supercapacitors.

Hierarchical NiCo-LDH microspheres (NiCo-LDHM) were synthesized via a simple one-step hydrothermal process in the presence of 2-methylimidazole, and a freeze-drying technique was subsequently used to further adjust its microstructure. The obtained porous hierarchical microspheres are about 5 µm in average diameter, and consist of ultrathin nanosheets with an average thickness of 5 nm. The freeze-drying endows LDH microspheres with higher surface area and improved pore structure . The unique hierarchical porous structure, high specific surface area and positive surface charge together contribute NiCo-LDHM’ excellent capability for anionic dyes and heavy metal ions removal, its theoretical adsorption capacities for Congo red (CR), acid fuchsin (AF) and Cr(VI) are 2120, 1176 and 123 mg/g at room temperature respectively. The adsorption of pollutant molecules/ions onto NiCo-LDH microspheres conforms to the quasi-secondary kinetics model. Isotherm studies suggest that the CR adsorption onto adsorbent fits Langmiur model, while AF/Cr(VI) adsorption fits Freundlich model, indicating that the size and morphology of pollutant molecules influence the adsorption process . The adsorption is a spontaneous endothermic process and NiCo-LDHM demonstrates good recyclability, the removal rates of CR, AF and Cr(VI) can still reach 90.7%, 84.7% and 82% after five cycles, respectively. In addition, NiCo-LDH hierarchical microspheres also exhibit good anionic selective adsorption capacity in mixed-dye systems, displaying great potential for water restoration and dye recycling.

Accelerating the electron transfer and thus inhibiting recombination of photogenerated carriers hold paramount significance for photocatalytic solar hydrogen generation. Introducing an intermediate transition layer in the Schottky junction structure would modulate the Schottky barrier and thus enhance the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers. Herein, we insert an efficient NiCo-layered-double-hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) lamina between molybdenum carbide-supported reduced graphene oxide (Mo2C/rGO, abbreviated as MG) and CdS, fabricating the sandwich composite CdS@NiCo-LDH@Mo2C/rGO (noted as CLMG) for photogenerated hydrogen. The inserted NiCo-LDH enables the dual heterogeneous interface phase of CdS/NiCo-LDH and NiCo-LDH/Mo2C and decreases the Schottky barrier of CdS/Mo2C, boosting the electron transfer of CLMG. In addition, the experiments and DFT calculations indicate that the work functions increase in the order of CdS < NiCo-LDH < Mo2C. Benefiting from the unique nanoarchitecture of the catalyst, the unidirectional cascade electron transport is realized following the order of CdS → NiCo-LDH → Mo2C with NiCo-LDH as an accelerated “electron converter”, which eventually expedites the photogenerated electron transfer of CdS to Mo2C and boosts carrier separation as well as the hydrogen reduction of the integrated system, achieving a 135 times greater H2 production rate (58.07 mmol g–1 h–1) than pristine CdS (0.43 mmol g–1 h–1). Moreover, CLMG exhibits excellent durability.

The original MOFs exhibit poor electrochemical performance when used as electrode materials for supercapacitors. To improve their conductivity and stability, in situ growth of high specific capacitance and conductivity layered double hydroxide (LDH) on the MOFs surface is an ideal approach. In this study, we employed the MOF as a template and employed a secondary hydrothermal synthesis method to enable in situ growth of NiCo-LDH on the surface of the MOF. The utilization of the MOF template enhances the stability of NiCo-LDH, while the flower-like structure of LDH exposes more active sites. By optimizing the Ni:Co molar ratio to 1:2 and the urea:NH 4 F molar ratio to 2:1, the resulting material exhibits higher specific capacitance and improved cycle stability. Specifically, at a current density of 1 A g −1 , the specific capacitance reaches 1674 F g −1 . At a current density of 5 A g −1 , the capacity retention rate after 2000 cycles is 80%. When NiCo-LDH/HKUST-1 is assembled with activated carbon as a supercapacitor, it exhibits a significant energy density of 33.96 Wh kg −1 and a power density of 745.4 W kg −1 . This work provides a novel approach for utilizing MOF-based composite materials as positive electrode materials for supercapacitors. Graphical Abstract

Hydrogen evolution of inorganic photocatalysts is currently a hot research topic. In order to prepare highly efficient catalysts for hydrogen evolution, p-n type heterojunctions were successfully constructed by closely combining p-type Cu 2 O and n-type NiCo-LDH with opposite electrical properties by a simple electrostatic self-assembly. In addition, because the positions of the two single catalysts NiCo-LDH and Cu 2 O Fermi levels are dissimilar from those of traditional p-n heterojunctions, the extremely high movement of Fermi levels forms a strong built-in electric field, which powerfully prevents the gradient diffusion of charge and facilitates the migration of intrinsic photocarriers. Furthermore, the flower cluster NiCo-LDH is composed of two-dimensional thin sheet structure, which has a large specific surface area and can prevent Cu 2 O agglomeration. Under the condition of using triethanolamine solution and eosin Y (EY) respectively as sacrifice reagent reducing agent and photosensitizer, the composite catalyst has reached 18332 μmol·g −1 in 5 h, which was increased by 8.5 times compared to the pure Cu 2 O. This research provides an innovative strategy to construct a heterojunction between a metal double-layer hydroxide and a non-noble metal oxide to realize an effective photocatalytic hydrogen production .
