We synthesized a series of Ru-Ti-Ni/CNT electrodes to degrade levofloxacin in wastewater. The unique structure of Ni single-atom-kernelled Ru nanoparticles regulates the reaction process, producing a notable synergistic effect. The reaction kinetics constant of Ru-Ti-Ni/CNT with a Ru: Ti ratio of 10:0 outperforms Ni/CNT by 3.7 times and CNT alone by 16.4 times. Comprehensive characterizations revealed its morphology and structure nature. Ru nanoparticles can shield Ni, while Ni single-atom facilitates electron transfer in Ru nanoparticles, generating abundant reactive oxygen radicals (ROS) that degrade pollutants.

Controlling the excessive oxidation of 1,4-Benzenedimethanol (1,4-BDM) to selectively produce high-value-added 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (4-HB) under mild conditions while simultaneously generating H 2 is a challenging problem. In this study, it was found that incorporating Ni into cadmium sulfide (CdS) significantly reduces the bandgap of CdS and adjusts its conduction band position, yet still leads to over-oxidation of 1,4-BDM. To enhance selectivity, we designed and synthesized a bifunctional photocatalyst, CdS-Ti/Ni, with a petal-like structure by integrating both Ni and Ti with CdS. This composite exhibits a bandgap of 2.3 eV, and the synergistic effects of Ti and Ni result in more favorable valence and conduction band positions, thereby demonstrating superior photocatalytic efficiency and selectivity. Within the first 30 minutes, the bifunctional CdS-Ti/Ni achieved a 73 % selectivity for 4-HB. The H 2 evolution rate reached 20.2 mmol·g −1 ·h −1 , which is 13 times higher than that of pure CdS. This study demonstrates that bimetal doping can adjust the energy band structure, photocatalytic H 2 production efficiency and oxidation selectivity of semiconductor materials, offering valuable insights for the design of efficient bifunctional photocatalysts.

The diffusion bonding between Ti and Ni was investigated in the presence and absence of an imposed electric current. Bonding was carried out over the temperature range of 873–1123 K and the current density range of 255–350 A/cm 2 . The formation and sequence of evolution of the three intermetallic phases, TiNi 3 , TiNi, and Ti 2 Ni, were investigated and discussed in light of calculations of Gibbs free energies of formation and interfacial energies associated with their nucleation. Within the experimental times and in the presence of a current, the growth of the three phases was parabolic. The evolution of the TiNi phase required an incubation period, while the relatively high growth rate of TiNi 3 suggests the possibility of another mechanism. The growth of all phases was enhanced by the application of a direct current, with no apparent dependence on its direction.

Conventional electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials often suffer from poor stability in humid and corrosive environments, limiting their real-world applications. In this work, carbon-based composites derived from Ti-Ni bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were synthesized via pyrolysis and investigated as dual-function materials for EMW absorption and corrosion protection. The composites exhibit excellent impedance matching and strong attenuation capability due to the synergistic interaction between the metal oxides and the carbon matrix. A minimum reflection loss of −40 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 4.61 GHz were achieved at an optimized thickness of 4.1 mm. Furthermore, upon incorporation into an epoxy resin coating, the composite displayed outstanding corrosion resistance. After immersion in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution for 7 days, good stability was still maintained. This study presents a promising strategy for designing multifunctional materials with integrated EMW absorption and corrosion resistance, offering broad application potential in marine, aerospace, and communication sectors.

Ti-Ni co-doping improves electrochemical kinetics and powder densification. • Dopants Ti and Ni function on the Mn- and Fe-redox regions, respectively. • Powder compaction density increases by 8.5% to 2.04 g cm −3 after Ti-Ni doping. LiMn 0.6 Fe 0.4 PO 4 (LMFP) is a promising high-energy cathode, but its practical application is constrained by sluggish Mn 2+ /Mn 3+ redox kinetics and insufficient powder compaction density (PCD). Herein, Ti-doped, Ni-doped, and Ti–Ni co-doped LMFP/C were prepared by a ball-milling-assisted solid-state route. It is clarified that Ni predominantly accelerates the Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ reaction, whereas Ti promotes the kinetically slower Mn 2+ /Mn 3+ reaction and improves cycling stability. The optimal sample LMFP-2Ti-2Ni delivers 163.1 and 142.9 mAh g −1 at 0.1 and 5 C, respectively, and retains 90.8% of its capacity after 400 cycles at 1 C. Relative to pristine LMFP, the Ti-Ni co-doping increases the 0.1 C capacity from 144.7 to 163.1 mAh g −1 (+12.7%) and the PCD from 1.88 to 2.04 g cm −3 (+8.5%). Also, the relative unit-cell-volume variation decreases from approximately 5.2% to 4.6%, indicating more gradual bulk-lattice evolution. Thus, Ti–Ni co-doping as a complementary strategy can simultaneously improve rate capability, cycling durability, and particle packing in LMFP/C cathodes.

Photocatalytic CO 2 reduction using atomically dispersed catalysts holds significant potential for addressing global energy and environmental challenges. However, the influence of d–d orbital interactions between metal centers and coordinated atoms remains underexplored. Herein, nickel phthalocyanine is anchored to the metal-exposed crystal face of TiO 2 , forming Ti–Ni–N 4 coordination. This configuration reveals that the axially coordinated Ti atoms serve as a novel electron channel with electron-donating ability, transferring electrons to the Ni center through d–d coupling. It is found that the dynamic adjustment of bond lengths and d-band centers in Ti–Ni bonding during CO 2 photoreduction process can effectively modulate the adsorption strengths of the Ni center for different intermediates. This leads to a significant enhancement in the photocatalytic performance for CO 2 reduction to CO without a sacrificial reagent, achieving an exceptional CO evolution rate of 378.5 μmol g −1 . Furthermore, the d–d coupling mediated by Ti–Ni–N 4 coordination increases the vacancy formation energy of active sites, preventing the leaching of Ni active centers. This study provides a strategy for the precise design of d–d orbital regulation and resistance to demetallization in photocatalysts for efficient CO 2 conversion. Graphic abstract

The ecological impact linked to hydraulic fracturing, namely with the usage of water and the energy-intensive disposal of flowback fluids, has led to a thorough evaluation of alternative treatment approaches that are more environmentally friendly. The objective of this work was to create coralline-like anatase TiO2/α-Ni(OH)2particles using a hydrothermal approach. The purpose was to improve the efficiency of photocatalysis by increasing the number of oxygen vacancies. An ozone-assisted photocatalytic reaction was used to increase the composite photocatalyst’s degrading efficiency for fracturing flowback fluid. The fracturing flowback fluid’s chemical oxygen demand (COD) degradation efficiency was greatly increased following the introduction of the synergistic treatment system consisting of sedimentation, membrane separation, and ozone photocatalysis. This improvement led to a reduction of 98.42% during a processing time of 90 min, using a Ti/Ni mass ratio of 1:1. This collaborative method partially replaced traditional methods of evaporation concentration and electrochemical degradation, resulting in a 24.18% enhancement compared to individual material catalyst systems. These findings provide crucial insights for improving and optimizing external treatment techniques in shale gas fracturing operations.
