A Ni/Ce 0.8 Zr 0.2 O 2 catalyst (NiCeZr-N) was synthesized by a facile co-nanocasting technique for syngas production from ethanol dry reforming. In addition, a series of characterization techniques, such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductive coupled plasma Emission Spectrometer (ICP), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman and hydrogen temperature programmed reduction (H 2 -TPR) were selected to evaluate the physicochemical features of the as-prepared catalysts. Indeed, the results indicated that NiCeZr-N catalyst prepared by co-nanocasting method had a smaller particle size (<5 nm), relatively higher specific surface area (39 m 2 /g) and stronger metal-support interaction in comparison with another model catalyst obtained from conventional co-precipitation method (NiCeZr-P). Expectedly, these positive factors enabled NiCeZr-N catalyst to exhibit better activity and stability. Typically, ethanol is completely converted by using NiCeZr-N as catalyst and heating to 700 °C, and CO 2 conversion was as high as 65.3%. Interestingly, H 2 /CO was close to 1.1 at 650 °C, which could be used as feedstocks of Fischer-Tropsch process. Particularly, no obvious fluctuation of ethanol conversion and the product selectivity was observed during 40 h time-on-stream stability test.

Transition metal doped carbon materials are recognized as promising sensing platforms for glucose detection. Herein, a simple strategy involving crystallinity, nanostructure engineering, and pyrolysis was developed for constructing well-defined Ni nanoparticle embedded on nanoporous carbon nanorods (Ni/NCNs). A three-dimensional nickel-based metal-organic framework (Ni-MOF) was used as both a self-sacrificing template and precursor. Due to the synergistic effects between the uniformly dispersed Ni nanoparticles and the nanoporous carbon matrix, the as-prepared Ni/NCNs exhibited remarkable electrochemical activity. The fabricated Ni/NCNs glucose sensor showed excellent electrocatalytic performance with ultra-low limit of detection, wide linear detection ranges, fast response times (within 1.6 s), superior stability, and anti-interference characteristics. Moreover, the Ni/NCNs sensing platform was successfully applied to analyze glucose concentrations in human blood samples. These results showed that Ni/NCNs hold potential applications in developing enzyme-free glucose sensors.

A series of Ni-Fe/SBA-15 catalysts was prepared and tested for the catalytic hydrogenation of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone, adopting methanol as the only hydrogen donor, and investigating the synergism between Fe and Ni, both supported on SBA-15, towards this reaction. The characterization of the synthesized catalysts was carried out by XRD (X-ray powder diffraction), TEM (transmission electron microscopy), H2-TPD (hydrogen temperature-programmed desorption), XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), and in situ FT-IR (Fourier transform–infrared spectroscopy) techniques. H2-TPD and XPS results have shown that electron transfer occurs from Fe to Ni, which is helpful both for the activation of the C=O bond and for the dissociative activation of H2molecules, also in agreement with the results of the in situ FT-IR spectroscopy. The effect of temperature and reaction time on γ-valerolactone production was also investigated, identifying the best reaction conditions at 200 °C and 180 min, allowing for the complete conversion of levulinic acid and the complete selectivity to γ-valerolactone. Moreover, methanol was identified as an efficient hydrogen donor, if used in combination with the Ni-Fe/SBA-15 catalyst. The obtained results are promising, especially if compared with those obtained with the traditional and more expensive molecular hydrogen and noble-based catalysts.Keywords:biomass ester derivatives;solvothermal processing;levulinic acid;γ-valerolactone;Ni-Fe bimetallic catalysts

The composite catalysts AC-Ni/MgO-Al 2 O 3 were prepared by the co-precipitation method with activated carbon (AC) and [Ni,Mg,Al]-hydrotalcite as the precursors, and characterized by XRD , TG-DTG, N 2 adsorption, H 2 -TPR and SEM, respectively. The resultant catalysts were examined for CO 2 reforming of methane. The results showed that the introduction of AC into Ni/MgO-Al 2 O 3 catalyst improved the textural properties, especially the surface area and pore volume of mesopores , and decreased the size of metal Ni. Compared with Ni/MgO-Al 2 O 3 , the composite AC-Ni/MgO-Al 2 O 3 exhibited higher catalytic activity , stability and H 2 /CO ratio. But the AC content obviously influenced the catalytic performances. High AC loading resulted in the decline of catalytic activity owing to lower surface area and fewer active Ni content in the catalyst. 10AC-Ni/MgO-Al 2 O 3 with 10% AC displayed the best catalytic activity and stability compared with Ni/MgO-Al 2 O 3 . About 86.2% conversion of CH 4 , 91.3% conversion of CO 2 and above 0.95 ratio of H 2 /CO were achieved over 10AC-Ni/MgO-Al 2 O 3 sample for the reaction time of 5430 min. This work provides a route to improve catalytic performances of Ni-based catalysts in CO 2 reforming of methane.

Ammonia is a potential hydrogen carrier and can be used as an alternative fuel . In this study, plasma cooperative catalytic synthesis ammonia was used. The catalyst consisted of Ni impregnated into silica , using one of three complexing agents (TEPA, EDTA and GLY) and compared with conventional impregnation methods. The unsaturated coordinated Ni(tepa) 2+ will coordinate with the hydroxyl groups on the silica surface. When using the catalyst prepared by TEPA , the ammonia synthesis rate was 3.8 times higher than with no catalyst, and 1.4 times higher than the catalyst made by conventional impregnation method. XRD and TEM show that the catalyst prepared using TEPA exhibited the smaller metal particle size, the higher dispersion and the stronger interaction between metal and support than other catalysts. XPS indicate that the good metal dispersion of the catalyst facilitate form more Ni 3 N during the reaction, which will greatly improve the activity of the catalyst.

A simple and environment-friendly autocatalytic reduction process was developed for synthesis of Au/Ni(OH) 2 nanocomposites. The nanocomposites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It is found the nanocomposites are composed of ultrathin Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and the AuNPs disperse evenly on the Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets. The electrochemical and electrocatalytic properties of the Au/Ni(OH) 2 modified glassy carbon electrode (Au/Ni(OH) 2 /GCE) were investigated by electrochemical experiments. Furthermore, through optimizing Au loading of the nanocomposites, the 5%-Au/Ni(OH) 2 /GCE displays the best electrocatalytic activity towards glucose oxidization in alkaline medium. Under optimal conditions, the 5%-Au/Ni(OH) 2 /GCE displays a wide linear range of 0.01 to 3.15 mM (R 2 = 0.998) to glucose. Besides, the sensor has a low detection limit of 0.10 μM (S/N = 3) and a high sensitivity of 342.1 μA·mM −1 ·cm −2 . It also displays satisfying stability, good reproducibility and selectivity.

In this work, novel Ni-based catalysts supported on a porous carbon matrix were prepared using a simple hydrothermal method, and studied for the selective hydrotreatment of triolein. Three different catalysts were investigated, including Ni@C-BTC, Ni@C-DHTA and Ni@C-PTA. Of the catalysts studied, the Ni@C-BTC catalyst could achieve the highest conversion (up to 90%) and an excellent cracking ratio (4.61) under moderate reaction conditions (320 °C, 3 MPa, 4 h) in cyclohexane. In addition, other Ni-based catalysts prepared under different temperatures were investigated to study the influence of the calcined temperature on the activity of Ni-based catalysts. The influence of the temperature, H2 pressure, time and catalyst loading amount was investigated for the best performing catalyst (Ni@C-BTC-400). The detailed physicochemical characterization was carried out by means of XRD, SEM, TEM, BET, NH3-TPD, Raman and XPS analysis. In the end, the optimal Ni@C-BTC-400 catalyst could be recycled magnetically, and efficiently applied in the next run for four consecutive recycling tests in the hydrotreatment of triolein.

The noble-metal catalytic cleavage of ether bonds in lignin to obtain aromatic chemicals has achieved great success, and the development of a low-cost efficient catalyst is crucial. Herein, NixLay/CNT was designed for the hydrogenolysis of benzyl phenyl ether (BPE), diphenyl ether (DPE) and 2-phenethyl phenyl ether (PPE) under a relatively mild condition. Owing to the synergistic effect of Ni with La, the Ni–La catalyst was especially active. Moreover, not only could the Ni–La catalyst fracture the C–O bond, but it could also transform aromatic rings to produce cycloalkanes. Physicochemical characterizations were carried out by means of XRD, TEM, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD, pyridine-IR and XPS analyses. Based on the optimal reaction condition (240 °C, 4 h, 2.0 MPa H2), various model compounds could also be effectively hydrotreated to produce corresponding products. A mechanistic study revealed that cyclohexanol and methylcyclohexane were major products for the transfer cleavage of BPE. Furthermore, it has been illustrated that aryl groups played a significant role in the hydrogenation of phenol from the competitive catalytic hydrogenation reaction of phenol. This study opened up the possibility of the valorization of lignin using a rare earth metal as the co-catalyst for the selective cleavage of lignin model compounds to value-added chemicals.

An active bifunctional nickel-based catalyst was prepared by decomposing Ni(CO) 4 to dispersive metallic Ni on Hβ zeolite and successfully applied in the catalytic hydroconversion (CHC) of an alkali lignin (AL). Detailed elemental composition, functional groups, and molecular compositions of the soluble portions (SPs) from non-catalytic hydroconversion (SP NCHC ) and CHC (SP CHC ) were characterized with an elemental analyzer, a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, and a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS). As a result, alkoxalkanes, phenol, cresol, veratrols, alkyl-substituted 1,4-dimethoxyphenols, 2,5-dimethylfuran, 3-hydroxyneopentanal, 4-methylpent-3-en-2-one, 4-methoxy-4-methylpentan-2-one, 1-(2,4-dihydroxy-3-tolyl)propan-1-one, and 2,5-dimethylhex-4-enoic acid only appear in SP CHC , and yields of multiple alkyl-substituted phenols, p -alkylanisoles, diols, non-substituted and alkyl-substituted methoxyphenols, and substituted phenylethanones in SP CHC are significantly higher than those in SP NCHC . The mechanism for catalytically hydrocracking >CH-O- bridged bonds over Ni/Hβ is proposed using benzyloxybenzene (BOB) and phenethoxybenzene as AL-related model compounds. Ni/Hβ proved to be stable after 3 cycles with relatively small loss in catalytic activity for catalyzing the hydrocracking of >CH-O- bonds in BOB.

Structure manipulation of photocatalysts at an atomic scale is a promising way to improve its photocatalytic performance. Herein, we realize the anchoring of single Ni atoms on the ZnIn 2 S 4 nanosheets with rich sulfur vacancies. Experimental results demonstrate that single Ni atoms induce the formation of Ni-O-M (Zn/In) atomic interface, which can efficiently promote the carriers separation and prolong the carrier life time. In addition, in situ electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) confirms that the single Ni atoms act as an electron trapping center for protons reduction. As a result, the single Ni atoms decorated ZnIn 2 S 4 nanosheets with rich sulfur vacancies (Ni/ZnIn 2 S 4 -RV s ) shows a hydrogen evolution rate up to 89.4 μmol h −1 , almost 5.7 and 2.3 times higher compared to that of ZnIn 2 S 4 nanosheets with poor sulfur vacancies and rich sulfur vacancies (denoted as ZnIn 2 S 4 -PV s and ZnIn 2 S 4 -RV s ). This work opens up a new perspective manipulating the single-atom cocatalyst and sulfur vacancy on sulfide supports for improving photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

Accurate detection of glucose is essential for the diagnosis of diabetes, wherein effective and sensitive biosensors for glucose detection are needed. Here, we fabricated a glucose sensor based on field-effect transistor (FET) with bimetallic nickel-copper metal-organic frameworks (Ni/Cu-MOFs) as its channel layers which were grown in-situ through a simple one-step hydrothermal method and modified with glucose oxidase (GOD) by using glutaraldehyde (GA) as linkers. Due to the synergistic effect of Ni ions and Cu ions in MOFs, the sensor (GOD-GA-Ni/Cu-MOFs-FET) showed good field effect performance and great responses to glucose through enzymatic reactions . It displayed a piecewise linear relationship in the wide range (1 μM–20 mM), and provided high sensitivity (26.05 μAcm −2 mM −1 ) in the low concentration (1–100 μM) and a low detection limit (0.51 μM). The sensor also had these advantages of high specificity, excellent reproducibility, good short-term stability and fast response time. Especially, it is indicated that the Ni/Cu-MOFs-FETs with high performance have the potential to be available sensors, paving the way for the application of bimetallic MOFs in biosensing.

Transition-metal phosphides have been identified as effective materials for improving electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution. In this study, Ni2P, Co2P, and NiCoP yolk–shell structures were embedded in N- and P-doped carbon nanofibers (NPNFs) by controlling the heat-treatment procedure of the fiber precursors. The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity of the samples was tested. The formation process of phosphides introduced a large number of surface defects that act as active sites to improve H2 evolution. NPNF embedding composite NiCoP particles exhibited better performance compared with Ni2P–NPNFs and Co2P–NPNF samples in acidic conditions. In the case of a molar ratio Ni : Co : P of 1 : 1 : 1, NiCoP-decorated NPNFs revealed the best HER performance, which is ascribed to the loading of NiCoP composite particles, which greatly increased the specific surface area. NiCoP–NPNFs exhibited overpotentials of 183 and 280 mV at current densities of 1 mA cm−2 and 10 mA cm−2, respectively, with a Tafel slope of 94.5 mV dec−1.
