Ni–Al layered double hydroxide with nitrate anions as interlayer building blocks was synthesized by a dual-anion intercalating strategy of hydroxyl and nitrate anions during a facile co-precipitation process. In this case, nitrate anions with low charge densities are capable to expand the interplanar spacing between host layers of Ni–Al layered double hydroxide in the replacement of pristine carbonate anions, benefiting to the diffusion of electrolyte ions to active sites within electrodes. Moreover, the optimization for packed arrangement of Ni–Al layered double hydroxide with nitrate anions nanosheets can be effectively realized by modulating reactant concentrations, leading to the formation of nanolayered structure in favor of increasing electrolyte accessible active sites within electrodes. The optimized Ni–Al layered double hydroxide with nitrate anions achieves a high specific capacitance of 1616 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 together with a capacitance retention of 82% at 10 A g −1 and good cycling stability.

A 3D Ni 3 S 2 @Mn-Co-OH/NF cross-linked nanosheet heterostructure composite electrode has been successfully fabricated by a facile two-step hydrothermal method. The as-prepared Ni 3 S 2 @Mn-Co-OH/NF composite electrode exhibits a high capacitance (3163 F g −1 at a current density of 3 mA cm −2 ), a superior rate performance (2071 F g −1 at a current rate of 30 mA cm −2 ), and stable cycling property (maintaining 96.6% of the initial capacitance after 4000 cycles at a current rate of 10 mA cm −2 ). This excellent electrochemical performance can be ascribed to the unique cross-linked nanosheet heterostructure formed directly on Ni foam current collector and the synergistic effect between Mn-Co-OH and Ni 3 S 2 of the composite electrode.

The flexible supercapacitors (FSCs) have attracted much attention with the development of personal electronics. Here, the polyethylene-polypropylene fibrous membranes (PE-PPFMs) are used as the substrate to prepare conductively metallized organic films (Ni/PE-PPFMs) by employing electroless nickel plating method. After graphene oxide (GO) dispersion is coated on the substrate of Ni/PE-PPFMs, electrochemical reduction is carried out to reduce GO and the electrodes of ErGO/Ni/PE-PPFMs have been obtained. The preparation conditions have been optimized and the electrodes have also been characterized in detail. The capacitive performances of the electrodes are evaluated by assembling the FSCs with the NaOH/polyvinyl alcohol (NaOH/PVA) as the gel electrolyte. The specific capacitance of the optimized electrode can reach 368.2 mF cm −2 (147.3 F g −1 based on the active materials), and the maximum energy density of the cell can reach 16.2 μWh cm −2 (or 3.2 Wh kg −1 ) when the power density is 0.24 mW cm −2 (48 W kg −1 ). Meanwhile, the cell exhibits excellent cyclic stability (the capacitance retention can still keep at 89.5% after 10,000 cycles) and flexibility (84.4% capacitance retention after 5500 bending cycles). This strategy provides a simple and environmentally friendly method to prepare flexible rGO-based electrodes.

Tuning structure, morphology and electronic state of electrocatalysts is essential to achieve highly efficient water splitting. Herein, we report synthesis of snap bean-like multi-dimensional core/shell Ni/NiCoP nano-heterojunctions (NHs) by adopting a solid phase transformation strategy. In the special structure, Ni nanoparticles are enclosed and strung by single phased NiCoP, forming strings of Ni/NiCoP core/shell heterojunctions, which showed improved stability and activity for both hydrogen evolution (HER) and oxygen evolution reactions (OER). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and synchrotron-radiation-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy reveal that interactions at the interface of Ni/NiCoP greatly changed electronic structures, which is a key intrinsic factor to underpin the enhanced electrocatalytic performance. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate Ni/NiCoP interface provide more optimal binding strength for H adatom and H 2 O molecule for HER, strong capture of hydroxyl, high valence Ni/Co species for OER. All these peculiarities facilitate the electrocatalytic process: only 1.57 V was needed to reach the current density of 10 mA·cm −2 for the overall water splitting using Ni/NiCoP NHs as both electrodes. This work demonstrates a facile strategy for synthesis of sophisticated catalytic interface at nano level and endows nano-heterojunction catalysts with enhanced performance for catalytic applications.

The Ni-P/TiN coating was used as bipolar plate by electroless plating on Ti. Surface morphology and phase structure of the coatings were characterized by SEM and XRD, respectively. Corrosion resistance of Ni-P and Ni-P/TiN coating was measured in the simulated solution of Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The interfacial contact resistance (ICR) was conducted by applied different forces. SEM images indicated that the particles of core–shell structure were formed on the surface of coating on Ti substrate. The core–shell structure was composed of TiN core and Ni-P electroless plating shell. Compared with Ni-P coatings, the Ni-P/TiN coating showed better corrosion resistance behaviors and low ICR (below 10 m Ω cm − 2 under pressure of 200 N/cm 2 ) . TiN particles and distribution of core–shell were in favor of the formation of coating and compact surface morphology. The good conductivity was attributed to the compact surface morphology of coating. The Ni-P/TiN coating showed excellent interfacial conductivity and good corrosion resistance at applied high potential in simulated solution of PEMFCs.

In the present paper, polyaniline (PANI) coating was electropolymerized in the presence of phosphoric acid with subsequent deposition of Ni(OH) 2 particles. The Ni(OH) 2 reinforced PANI coating significantly enhances the corrosion resistance of 304 stainless steel (304SS) in comparison with the pristine PANI coating. The galvanostatically deposited Ni(OH) 2 particles fill the pores of the pristine PANI coating and improves the coatings hydrophobicity which decreases the diffusion of aggressive media. Importantly, the R p values of Ni(OH) 2 reinforced PANI coating is much higher than that of pristine PANI coating and the Ni(OH) 2 reinforced PANI coating presents a long-term anti-corrosive ability (360 h) in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The prolonged corrosion protection of Ni(OH) 2 reinforced PANI coating is attributed to the improved physical barrier as well as the facile formation of passive oxide film that sustain the anodic protection of the coating.

Ni/AC (nickel on active carbon) catalysts with different Ni loadings were synthesized and studied for the decarboxylation and aromatization of oleic acid in the absence of H2 or hydrogen donors. Without the use of hydrogen source, the whole deoxygenation process became more economical. Moreover, oleic acid can be saturated using the H2 derived from the production of aromatics, which were also considered as the critical component in aviation biofuels. The structure and properties of the catalysts were investigated using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and temperature-programmed desorption of CH3COOH and CO. The experimental and characterization results revealed that 30% Ni/AC had a higher adsorption capacity of CH3COOH among the other Ni/AC catalysts and highly dispersed and small Ni particles, providing a heptadecane yield of 40.7%. It also contained 13.8% aromatics, which fulfills the requirement of aviation fuels. This Ni/AC catalyst showed good stability even after being reused thrice.

Nickel hydroxide has shown extraordinary promise for hybrid supercapacitors because of the high theoretical capacity and low cost, but is usually limited by its low power density and complex synthetic process. Here, we report the design of a self-assembly three-dimensional (3D) porous Ni(OH) 2 for high-performance energy storage through a simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solvothermal-precipitation method. The 3D structure with interconnected network provides superior electron transportation properties, and the hierarchical porous architecture facilitates quick ion diffusion. The Ni(OH) 2 obtained at 250 °C delivers a high capacitance of 2110 F g −1 at 1.0 A g −1 and a moderate cycling stability with 53% of the maximum specific capacitance over 2000 cycles at 5.0 A g −1 . Additionally, on integration of the prepared Ni(OH) 2 with hierarchically porous carbons as negative electrode material , the hybrid supercapacitor device delivers a high capacitance of 115 F g −1 and a high energy density of 40.9 W h kg −1 at a power density of 405 W kg −1 . This study not only provides a simply controllable growth method of the unique self-assembly 3D porous Ni(OH) 2 with high performance but also opens up a new approach to prepare various metallic oxides/hydroxides with excellent performance for highly promising practical energy-storage systems.

SF6decomposition components detection is a key technology to evaluate and diagnose the insulation status of SF6-insulated equipment online, especially when insulation defects-induced discharge occurs in equipment. In order to detect the type and concentration of SF6decomposition components, a Ni-modified carbon nanotube (Ni-CNT) gas sensor has been prepared to analyze its gas sensitivity and selectivity to SF6decomposition components based on an experimental and density functional theory (DFT) theoretical study. Experimental results show that a Ni-CNT gas sensor presents an outstanding gas sensing property according to the significant change of conductivity during the gas molecule adsorption. The conductivity increases in the following order: H2S > SOF2> SO2> SO2F2. The limit of detection of the Ni-CNT gas sensor reaches 1 ppm. In addition, the excellent recovery property of the Ni-CNT gas sensor makes it easy to be widely used. A DFT theoretical study was applied to analyze the influence mechanism of Ni modification on SF6decomposition components detection. In summary, the Ni-CNT gas sensor prepared in this study can be an effective way to evaluate and diagnose the insulation status of SF6-insulated equipment online.Keywords:SF6decomposition components;carbon nanotube sensor;Ni modification;adsorption;DFT calculations

The growing global demands of safe, low-cost and high working voltage energy storage devices trigger strong interests in novel battery concepts beyond state-of-art lithium-ion battery. Herein, a dual-ion battery based on nanostructured Ni 3 S 2 /Ni foam@RGO (NSNR) composite anode is developed, utilizing graphite as cathode material and LiPF 6 -VC-based solvent as electrolyte. The battery operates at high working voltage of 4.2–4.5 V, with superior discharge capacity of ∼90 mA h g −1 at 100 mA g −1 , outstanding rate performance, and long-term cycling stability over 500 cycles with discharge capacity retention of ∼85.6%. Moreover, the composite simultaneously acts as the anode material and the current collector, and the corrosion phenomenon can be greatly reduced compared to metallic Al anode. Thus, this work represents a significant step forward for practical safe, low-cost and high working voltage dual-ion batteries, showing attractive potential for future energy storage application .

Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) for CO 2 /N 2 separation were prepared by incorporating nickel-substituted ZIF-8 (Zn/Ni-ZIF-8) into a polyether-block-amide (PEBA2533) polymer, in which the Zn and Ni ions in Zn/Ni-ZIF-8 have different affinities for CO 2 based on π-complexation; these MMMs exhibited exceptional molecular sieving properties compared to ZIF-8-PEBA MMMs. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that Zn/Ni-ZIF-8 nanoparticles were small and uniformly distributed within the PEBA, and attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy revealed good interfacial compatibility between the Zn/Ni-ZIF-8 and PEBA; consequently these MMMs exhibited excellent mechanical properties . The 10% Zn/Ni-ZIF-8-PEBA MMM showed a high CO 2 permeability of 321 Barrer, and a CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 42.8 at 2 bar; these values were much higher than those of the 10% ZIF-8-PEBA MMM (266 Barrer and 33.8, respectively). We assume that different metal-ion affinities towards CO 2 resulted in the asymmetric adsorption/desorption behaviour of these MMMs, which led to a significantly higher permselectivity for the Zn/Ni-ZIF-8-PEBA MMM. The MMM loaded with 10% Zn/Ni-ZIF-8 exhibited long-term CO 2 -separation-performance stability under mixed-gas conditions, with a CO 2 permeability of 282 Barrer and a CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 42.7. Moreover, the permselectivity of the 10% Zn/Ni-ZIF-8-PEBA MMM under pure-gas condition surpassed Robeson's upper bound reported in 2008.
