In this study, we utilized a simple calcination method to prepare a Ni/TiO2/C composite, which was synchronously grown from magnetic, semiconductor, and conductive materials. XRD, SEM, Raman, and XPS characterization methods were used to analyze the crystal structure, graphitization degree, morphology size, and valence state of Ni/TiO2/C, and its electromagnetic wave absorption performance was tested. It was revealed that rod-like Ni/TiO2/C had good electromagnetic wave absorption performance at a thickness of 1–5.5 mm; in particular, its reflectance reached −40 dB at 3.5 mm and its absorption bandwidth (reflectivity < −10 dB) reached 4.4 GHz (6.0–10.4 GHz) at a thickness of 4.0 mm. It was thus revealed that its electromagnetic wave absorption rate and absorption bandwidth can be regulated by its thickness. Compared with Ni/TiO2, it was proven that the conductive materials (carbon), magnetic materials (Ni), and semiconductor materials (TiO2) in the rod-like Ni/TiO2/C composite can synergistically absorb electromagnetic wave energy through dielectric and magnetic losses.

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a complex four-electron transfer process that poses a significant challenge to the efficient production of hydrogen through water splitting. However, developing non-noble metal electrocatalyst with excellent OER performance is still a big challenge. Herein, we propose a new strategy for the in-situ growth of two-dimensional amorphous/crystalline thiophene-based Ni-Fe metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) using Ni-Fe foam (NFF) as metal source and current collector, and thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (TDC) as corrosion agent and ligand. TDC was ionized at high temperature to produce H + ions that etch NFF to release Ni 2+ and Fe 2+ ions, which were coordinated with TDC to in situ synthesize two-dimensional Ni-Fe thiophenedicarboxylate coordination polymer (NiFe-TDC) nanobelts on NFF. The unique structure and synergistic effect of Ni and Fe ions of NiFe-TDC 0.05 result in the excellent OER performance with an overpotential of 224 and 256 mV at current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm −2 , respectively, and it can run stably for 100 h at a current density of 100 mA cm −2 , indicating the outstanding stability. Furthermore, NiFe-TDC 0.05 remains the excellent OER performance with an extremely low potential of 196 and 271 mV at current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm −2 in seawater with 1 mol L -1 (M) KOH, respectively. The assembled NiFe-TDC 0.05 || Pt/C water electrolysis cell achieves a current density of 100 mA cm −2 at a low voltage of 1.78 V. The work provides a new method to prepare two dimensional MOFs for efficient water oxidation.

The micropacked bed reactor (μPBR) with monolithic catalyst hydrogenation technology has received widespread attention due to its high efficiency, continuous operation, and safety. In this study, the Pd/PDA/foam catalyst was prepared via impregnation method and vanillin (VL) hydrogenation was investigated in green water solution based on the μPBRs. The effect of operating temperature, pressure, the number of foam catalyst block, VL concentration, liquid and H 2 flow rate on VL conversion and VA yield was discussed. The highest conversion of VL was 99.4% and product yield of vanillyl alcohol (VA) reached 84.9% with 2.8 MPa, 120°C, 22 blocks of Pd/PDA/Ni foam catalyst, H 2 flow rate of 10 mL·min −1 and liquid flow rate of 0.1 mL·min −1 , and short reaction time (0.106 h) in μPBRs. The kinetic of hydrogenation VL to VA was established. The reaction rate constant and activation energy in μPBRs were from 0.63 to 1.39 min −1 and 16.94 kJ·mol −1 . The STY of VA in μPBRs was 0.0824 kg·L −1 ·h −1 ·g −1 , which was bigger than that of batch hydrogenation devices.

Water electrolysis is a promising path to the industrialization development of hydrogen energy. The exploitation of high-efficiency and inexpensive catalysts become important to the mass use of water decomposition. Ni-based nanomaterials have exhibited great potential for the catalysis of water splitting, which have attracted the attention of researchers around the world. Here, we prepared a novel Mo-doped NiFe-based layered double hydroxide (LDH) with a nanoarray microstructure on Ni foam. The doping amount of Mo can significantly change the microstructure of the electrocatalysis, which will further affect the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of water splitting. This novel nanomaterial required only an overpotential of 227 mV for 10 mA cm−2and a Tafel slope of 54.8 mV/dec in 1 M KOH. Meanwhile, there was no Mo, and the NiFe-LDH needed 233 mV to attain to 10 mA cm−2. Compared to the NiFe-LDH without Mo, the NiFeMo-LDH nanosheet arrays exhibited enhanced activities with 17.1 mV/dec less Tafel in OER. The good performance of the electrocatalyst is ascribed to the special nanosheet arrays and the heterostructure of the Ni-Fe-Mo system. These features help to increase the active surface, enhancing the efficient charge transfer and the reactive activity in OER.

Single atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted attention due to their excellent catalysis activity under specific reactions and conditions. However, the low density of SACs greatly limits catalytic performance. The three-dimensional graphene hollow nanospheres (GHSs) with very thin shell structure can be used as excellent carrier materials. Not only can its outer surface be used to anchor metal single atoms, but its inner surface can also provide rich sites. Here, a novel step-by-step assembly strategy is reported to anchor nickel single atoms (Ni SAs) on the inner and outer surfaces of GHSs (Ni SAs/GHSs/Ni SAs), which significantly increases the loading capacity of Ni SAs (4.8 wt%). Compared to conventional materials that only anchor Ni SAs to the outer surface of the carrier (Ni SAs/GHSs), Ni SAs/GHSs/Ni SAs exhibits significantly higher electrocatalytic activity toward glucose oxidation in alkaline media. The sensitivity of Ni SAs/GHSs/Ni SAs/GCE is nearly five times higher than that of Ni SAs/GHSs/GCE. Moreover, the sensor based on Ni SAs/GHSs/Ni SAs can detect glucose in a wide concentration range of 0.8 µM–1.1244 mM with a low detection limit of 0.19 µM (S/N = 3). This study not only provides an effective sensing material for glucose detection, but also opens a new avenue to construct high-density metal SACs. Graphical Abstract

The development of green and low-cost catalysts to catalyze the conversion of biomass and its derivatives into relevant green organic chemicals and fuels is an important way to solve the energy crisis. In this work, a series of Ni/CoAlOx catalysts synthesized through calcination process with hydrotalcite as the precursor were evaluated for the selective production of 2-methylfuran (2-MF) or 1,5-pentanediol (1,5-PeD) from furfural (FFA). The Ni 0.2 /CoAlOx-500 exhibits the optimal activity by adjusting the Ni/(Co + Al) mass ratio and the direct reduction temperature. The mass concentration of FFA greatly influenced the product distribution, FFA preferred to produce 1,5-PeD at low concentration with a maximum selectivity of 42.8 %, and 2-MF at high concentration with a maximum selectivity of 82.6 %. DFT calculations reveal that the different substrate concentrations influence the adsorption pattern over the catalyst, with low substrate concentration tending to flat adsorption and high concentration tending to tilted adsorption. This study not only develops efficient catalysts for biomass conversion, but also reveals the mechanism of FFA directed to 2-MF and 1,5-PeD, which provides useful insights for directed conversion of biomass hydrogenation.

Natural diamond inclusions comprise elements such as carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), and nitrogen (N), which can be assumed to exist in the natural diamond growth environment. Therefore, the artificial construction of the C–H–O–N system plays an important role in exploring the growth mechanism of natural diamonds. Herein, diamond crystals were successfully synthesized in the NiMnCo–C system by adding carbohydrazide (CH6N4O) as the organic additive at 1280 to 1320 °C and 5.4 GPa–6.0 GPa. The crystals were characterized using various analytical tools. Optical microscopy (OM) showed that the additive caused new extended defects similar to different dislocations. These filiform defects mainly appeared inside the top {111} face of the synthesized diamond and were always perpendicular to the {111} face. Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that the synthesized diamond had high-quality sp3 structures. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra showed that under a constant doping concentration, the N content inside the diamond increased with increasing synthesis temperature and constant pressure but decreased with increasing synthesis pressure and constant temperature. X-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopy confirmed that N, O, and H successfully entered the diamond lattice.

We found that the activated LiBH 4 or Ni/LiBH 4 can effectively assist CO 2 hydrogenation into C1 and C2 products at low temperature (100–300 ℃). After CO 2 hydrogenation over the activated LiBH 4 or Ni/LiBH 4 , CH 4 with approximately 100 % selectivity was formed in the gas phase products. CH 3 OH, HCOO − , and high-value CH 3 CH 2 OH were observed in aqueous solution of spent LiBH 4 or Ni/LiBH 4 after CO 2 hydrogenation. CO 2 conversion and CH 4 production are able to be further improved by doping 5–20 wt% Ni into the activated LiBH 4 . The LiBH 4 sample shows a 61.34 % CO 2 conversion at 200 ℃, while the 20 %Ni/LiBH 4 composite displays an 80.14 % CO 2 conversion under the same conditions. The experimental and theoretical results suggest that the synergistic effect from Ni and LiBH 4 results in high CO 2 conversion at low temperature. This new method for CO 2 conversion to C1, C2 products using the activated Ni/LiBH 4 composite may enlighten the materials design for CO 2 utilization.

Plasma-assisted ammonia synthesis (PAAS) can produce ammonia using highly energetic, electronically excited nitrogen and Hydrogen radicals at low temperatures and atmospheric pressure, which has been regarded as a prospective alternative to the Haber − Bosch process. PAAS can exclusively use renewable power (solar, wind, etc.) to achieve green, decentralized and efficient ammonia synthesis. However, current catalysts for PAAS are suffering from low efficiency, poor stability and cyclability. Herein, we demonstrate a one-step hydrothermal synthesis of Ni-Co bimetallic metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for PAAS. Attributed to the amplified gas transport capability and bimetallic coupling, the Ni-Co-MOF exhibits significantly improved PAAS performance: 88.21 μmol g −1 ·min −1 , above 30 % increase over 5 wt% Ni/Al 2 O 3 . The high stability of Ni-Co-MOF under the harsh electric field enables its durable performance (36 h) and excellent cyclability (24 cycles). Finally, to determine the viability of PAAS for industrial applications, we construct a hypothetical zero-carbon ammonia plant using only renewable energy sources, and the outcomes indicate that PAAS has significant competitiveness for future ammonia production.

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers have been identified as a new class of organic pollutants with ecological risk due to their toxicity, bioaccumulation, and global distribution. Proper remediation technologies are needed to remove them from the environment. In this paper, Ni/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical deposition and used to degrade decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE209). The characteristics of Ni/Fe nanoparticles were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Brunnaer–Emmett–Teller surface area analysis. Ni/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles with diameters in the order of 20–50 nm could effectively degrade BDE209 in the solvent (tetrahydrofuran/water). Influence factors, such as Ni/Fe nanoparticle dosage, initial BDE209 concentration, and Ni loading, on the removal of BDE209 were studied. The results indicated that the degradation of BDE209 followed pseudo-first-order kinetics, and the degradation rate of BDE209 increased with increasing the amount of nano Ni/Fe particles, Ni/Fe ratio, and decreasing the initial concentration of BDE209. Through analyzed the mass balance of the BDE209 removal, degradation was the main process of BDE209 removal. The mechanism of debromination was deduced by analyzing the reaction products using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, the bromide ion in the solution and varying the solvent conditions. Stepwise hydrogen reduction is the main process of debromination, and the hydrion play an important role in the reaction. Moreover, the experiment of long term performance and leaching of Ni were also carried out to test the stability and durability of Ni/Fe nanoparticles in BDE209 degradation.

Arranging the active ingredients on the support surface at the molecular or atomic scale to create high-selectivity sites for the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) holds great promise, which is highly challenging. In this study, we report a strategy for constructing a bimetallic Ag–Ni electrocatalyst with Ni nanoparticles for H2O dissociation, as well as Ni atoms in the carbon skeleton and Ag nanoparticles on the surface for the CO2RR. These sites synergistically enable high selectivity for improving the conversion of CO2 to CO. Specifically, the FECO reaches 99.3% on Ag–Ni/CB at −0.8 V vs. RHE, and its FECO can be maintained over 95.8% in the potential range from −0.8 to −1.1 V vs. RHE. Our research presents an approach for alignment of bifunctional two-component active sites on the surface of a carbon support.

Bipyridyl Ruthenium-decorated Ni-MOFs on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-RuBpy@Ni-MOF) were synthesized. In an alkaline solution, the glucose was electrocatalytically oxidized at +0.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl at the composite interface of MWCNT-RuBpy@Ni-MOF on a glassy carbon electrode. The Ni3+/Ni2+redox couples in Ni-MOFs played a key role as the active center for the catalytic oxidation of glucose at the electrode, where both RuBpy and MWCNTs enhanced the current responses to glucose. The resulting enzymeless glucose sensor from MWCNT-RuBpy@Ni-MOF exhibited a wide range of linear responses, high sensitivity and selectivity for the determination of glucose.
