Ni-rich cathodes especially with Ni content over 90 % are promising next-generation cathode materials for advanced high energy lithium − ion batteries. However, in comparison with Ni ≤ 80 % Ni-rich cathodes, these ultrahigh Ni-rich materials face more severe challenges in terms of harmful H2 − H3 phase transformations and structural degradation during cycling. Herein, we present a robust surface structure composted of defect-rich disordered structures and LiF/Li 2 SiO 3 coating for stabilizing the ultrahigh Ni-rich cathode LiNi 0.96 Co 0.03 Mn 0.01 O 2 (NCM96) by modification with (NH 4 ) 2 SiF 6 . The surface disordered structures including Li/TM mixing, spinel, and rock salt structure play a crucial role in inhibiting the irreversible H2-H3 phase transition and reducing lattice volume changes by lattice coherence effect. Moreover, the disordered surface in collaboration with the co-coating restrains the rapid growth of surface rock salt phase into the bulk, enhancing structural stability. The modified sample NSF-0.5 delivers a capacity of 238 mAh/g at 0.1C and maintains a capacity retention of 88.5 % at 0.5C after 100 cycles in half cell as well as 82.3 % at 1C after 300 cycles in full cell, significantly superior to the NCM96. The findings provide a simple and cost-effective surface modification strategy to enhance the structural stability and electrochemical performance of ultrahigh nickel cathodes for high-energy density LIBs.

Ni 3 S 2 @polypyrrole/nickel foam (Ni 3 S 2 @PPy/NF) composite was successfully synthesized by combining a facile hydrothermal synthesis and a simple electrochemical-deposited process. For comparative study, the honeycomb-shaped Ni 3 S 2 had in situ been grown on NF without the addition of any nickel salt to obtain the Ni 3 S 2 /NF composite. The electrochemical measurement results show that the area capacitance of the Ni 3 S 2 @PPy/NF electrode is 1.13 F cm −2 that is slightly lower than 1.26 F cm −2 of the Ni 3 S 2 /NF electrode at a high current density of 30 mA cm −2 , yet its rate capability and cycling stability are far better than those of the Ni 3 S 2 /NF electrode. Meanwhile, an asymmetric supercapacitor on the basis of the Ni 3 S 2 @PPy/NF anode and the AC cathode exhibits a high energy density and power density of 17.54 Wh kg −1 and 179.33 W kg −1 at 2.5 mA cm −2 , respectively; besides, the energy density is still 8.67 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 3587.41 W kg −1 even at 50 mA cm −2 . Moreover, the capacitances of the device remain unchanged after 3000 galvanostatic charge/discharge cycles at a high current density of 30 mA cm −2 . Furthermore, two such 1 cm 2 devices connected in series can light five 40-mW LED indicators or power one of the same-power LED indicator for 20 min after being fully charged. The results demonstrate that our asymmetric supercapacitor has a promising potential in commercial applications.

An N-doped mesoporous carbon supported Ni nanoparticle nanocatalyst (Ni/m-CN) was prepared in a facile manner by the carbonization of Ni-MOFs. The Ni/m-CN nanocatalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity for the reduction of nitroarenes under mild conditions. Moreover, the Ni/m-CN nanocatalyst can also be easily recovered and reused due to its superparamagnetism.

The water–gas shift (WGS) reaction is a key chemical process for CO removal and hydrogen generation in which CO and H2O are converted to CO2 and H2. The activation of H2O at the oxygen vacancy sites of a reducible oxide-supported catalyst is widely viewed as the critical step for this reaction. However, the strategy of rational fabrication of oxygen vacancies in reducible oxides to boost catalytic activity is rarely reported. Here, we report a facile method to fabricate oxygen vacancies through assembling an amorphous titanate overlayer on the surface of TiO2 support via alkali doping, aiming to improve its activity in WGS reaction. TEM, EPR, H2-TPR and XPS results verified that the titanate overlayer is in situ formed via alkali doping, where oxygen vacancies can be rationally regulated during reduction through tuning the amount of alkali. The ease of oxygen vacancy formation induced by alkali doping could be attributed to the lower Ti–O bond energy in titanate. It is shown that sodium-doped Ni/TiO2 with titanate overlayer on the support exhibited superior activity in WGS reaction compared with undoped catalyst, i.e., around threefold greater activity compared with undoped catalyst was achieved at 300 °C. Furthermore, the formation of CH4, a common side reaction in WGS on Ni-based catalysts, is suppressed on the sodium-doped Ni/TiO2. More importantly, the titanate overlayer strategy is successfully extended to other reducible oxide-supported catalysts, which provides a universal method to fabricate oxygen vacancies in reducible oxide-supported catalysts.

Potassium (K) cannot be produced by molten-salt electrolysis due to its high vapor pressure and erosion of the graphite anode by K. To overcome this problem, a liquid tin (Sn) electrode was employed to enable the electrolysis by accommodating K in the form of K-Sn alloy that can be separated into K gas and Sn by a following distillation approach. The so-called electrolysis-distillation (ED) approach was conducted in molten K 2 CO 3 -KCl along with a nickel (Ni)-based inert oxygen-evolution anode at 150 to 700 mA/cm 2 at 700 °C. The K-Sn alloys were obtained with a current efficiency of >70 pct at 350 mA/cm 2 without harmful chlorine gas (Cl 2 ) generation, and the chemical diffusion coefficient of K in liquid Sn is ~ 5.21×10 −5 cm 2 /s. Moreover, the Ni-based alloy inert anode was stably served for over 100 hours. The vacuum distillation was conducted at 650 °C for 90 minutes to obtain K metal with a purity of 99.99 pct and a recovery rate of 93.5 pct. Therefore, the ED approach developed here is an efficient and clean route to produce K metal.

A novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor for glucose detection was constructed by covering Au nanoparticles (Au NPs), Ni metal–organic frameworks nanofibers (Ni-MOF NFs) and glucose oxidase (GOD) on the electrode surface, respectively. Ni-MOF NFs prepared by electrostatic spinning can be used as GOD carrier and ECL promoter. Meanwhile, synergistic effect of Ni-MOF NFs and Au NPs could amplify the ECL signal of Ru(bpy) 3 2+ -TPrA system. With the increasing of glucose concentration, ECL signal was also increasing, so a method for determining glucose could be established. The possible mechanism of luminescence was investigated, and the parameters affecting the experimental reaction were also studied. Under the optimal conditions, the constructed ECL sensor can effectively detect glucose in the range of 2.0 × 10 −10 to 2.0 × 10 −5 M, and the detection limit was 6.7 × 10 −11 M. This study demonstrated for the first time that Ni-MOF NFs could serve as ECL accelerator for the facile detection of glucose in human serum.

The decentralized production of H 2 O 2 via a two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e − ORR) has emerged as a promising alternative to the energy-intensive anthraquinone (AQ) process. However, its practical application requires 2e − ORR electrocatalysts with high activity and selectivity. Herein, we report the synthesis of metallic Ni nanoparticles anchored on bacterial cellulose-derived carbon fibers (Ni-NPs/BCCF) via a facile impregnation-pyrolysis method as efficient electrocatalysts for 2e − ORR to H 2 O 2 . By tuning the amount of Ni precursor, the best electrocatalytic performance toward 2e − ORR was achieved for Ni-NPs/BCCF-20.7, affording a high H 2 O 2 selectivity of ∼90% and an onset potential of 0.75 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) in an alkaline electrolyte. Ni-NPs/BCCF-20.7 achieved the largest H 2 O 2 yield rate of 162.7 ± 13.7 mmol g cat −1 h −1 and the highest Faradaic efficiency of 93.9% ± 4.2% at 0.2 and 0.5 V vs. RHE from the bulk ORR system, respectively. Theoretical calculations revealed the more favorable “end-on” adsorption configuration of molecular oxygen on the exposed Ni(111) plane, which can effectively suppress the O-O bond dissociation, resulting in high selectivity for H 2 O 2 generation.

A series of single crystalline spinel LiNi x Mn 2- x O 4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) cathode materials were synthesized in virtue of a facile solution-combustion approach. The morphology and the structure of all as-prepared samples were synthetically investigated with the X-ray diffraction (XRD), the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and the X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS). According to these investigation results, Ni-doping content has a significant impact on the control of morphology and crystalline structure, hence the as-prepared LiNi x Mn 2- x O 4 samples exhibit polyhedral morphology with high crystallinity and average size of 100–200 nm. This unique polyhedral crystal structure has numerous surfaces fitting the (111) crystalline orientation which exhibit the smallest Mn dissolution in electrolytes, whilst stabilizing the spinel framework. Owing to the merits of both single crystalline polyhedral structure and appropriate Ni-doping, the as-obtained LiNi x Mn 2- x O 4 cathodes reveal enhanced rate capability coupled with long cycling performance. In especial, the LiNi 0.08 Mn 1.92 O 4 presents a initial discharge capacity of 101.3 mAh/g and ultralong cycle stability up to 2000 cycles at 1C, whilst showing enhanced cycle performance when temperature increases to 55 °C. Excellent capacity retention of 72% and 63% is also obtained after 1000 cycles even at high current rate of 5C and 10C. This study may contribute to an effective candidate approach for the obvious improvement on lithium ion batteries in term of electrochemical activity.

In this study, a Cr coating was fabricated on Ni-based alloys to prevent under-deposit corrosion. The effect of salt deposition on the structural integrity of the Cr coating in SCW environment with/without oxygen was investigated. Results show that the Cr coating kept its integrity after exposure in SCW environment, successfully avoided the metallic ions leaching from Ni-based alloys. The structure of the oxide layer after exposure is a thin Fe 2 O 3 or FeCr 2 O 4 layer and a Cr 2 O 3 layer. The oxidation rate of the Cr coating decreased to one third of the sample after exposure in the same environment without salt deposit layer, indicating that the inward mass-transfer of oxygen to the alloy surface was inhibited by the salt deposit layer. The volume expansion of the sample due to the growth of Cr oxide layer was restrained by the salt deposit layer, forming a growth stress in the coating.

Poor conductivity and rate capability are the obstacles faced by nickel-cobalt composites as electrode materials for supercapacitor application. Herein, simple electrochemical treatment conducted by cyclic voltammetry is applied and the overall performance of the active material is considerably enhanced. We discover that this treatment triggers the formation of Ni-Co-Cu ternary composite and optimizes the crystal structure of the untreated counterpart. The areal capacitance of the treated sample rockets up to 6.13 F cm −2 at 2 mA cm −2 , almost 13 times higher than the untreated ones. Besides, the resistance is substantially reduced by cyclic voltammetry treatment. Moreover, the Coulombic efficiency and stability are concurrently elevated. The reasons behind this treatment are mulled over and reasonable hypothesis is suggested. This study provides a cheap and effortless way to reform the structures of as-obtained samples as well as vigorously raise the performance of current available materials.

To achieve the low energy consumption and high strength joining between Ti and Ni, a novel joining method (rapid thermal explosion, TE) was developed for joining dissimilar metals using Ti-Al mixture powders as flux. The TE reaction temperature of Ti-Al flux was measured, and the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti/Ni joint were investigated. The results reveal that the combustion temperature of the Ti-Al powder interlayer is 1103 °C, which is higher than the joining temperature, and an obvious self-exothermic phenomenon lasts 20 s. The intermetallic compound diffusion layers formed at both interfaces mainly owing to the diffusion of Al and the growth activation energy of diffusion layers near both interfaces are 79.68 kJ/mol and 38.26 kJ/mol, respectively. Based on the sheer strength and diffusion layer, the formation mechanism of Ti/Ni joints is metallurgical bonding through atomic diffusion and formation of the diffusion layer.

It is a great challenge to develop cost-effective and stable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts for energy sustainability. Herein, we report nanocomposites of rock salt type nickel oxide and cobalt oxide supported on ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) as efficient non-noble metal electrocatalysts for the OER in alkaline solution. The rock salt type Ni x Co y O x+y @OMC (x/y = 0:1,2:1,1:1,1:2,1:0) nanocomposites are synthesized through a nanocasting and carbon thermal reduction route by using the OMC as a nano-reactor. The OMC is used as the support material, with large specific surface area and pore volume, which can not only effectively disperse metal oxides nanoparticles and prevent the agglomeration of nanoparticles, but also improve electrocatalytic performance of metal oxides by increasing electrical conductivity and electrocatalytic active sites. Interestingly, the rock salt type NiCo 2 O 3 @OMC exhibits the lowest overpotential of 281 mV at 10 mA/cm 2 in 1 M KOH, which is even lower than those values reported previously for RuO 2 and IrO 2 precious catalysts, and a small Tafel slope of 96.8 mV/dec for the OER. Notably, the NiCo 2 O 3 @OMC has a turnover frequency value of 0.0341 s −1 and an actual oxygen generation rate of ca. 22.5 μmol/h, much higher than its counterparts, confirming its outstanding intrinsic activity as an OER catalyst. Furthermore, the NiCo 2 O 3 @OMC has a good durability without obvious attenuation after continuous operation test for 230 h. Evidently, the NiCo 2 O 3 @OMC catalyst can remarkably promote the OER, and thus brighten the prospect of non-noble metal for efficient water electrolysis in industrial scale.
