The effects of additives on the deposition rate, surface morphology, Ni and P elemental content of the electroless plating layer, and roughness of the electroless plating Ni-P layer were investigated. In an electroless plating Ni-P system, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA-2Na) and sodium hypophosphite monohydrate were used as the complexing agent and reductant, respectively. The linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) polarization curve results showed that the compound addition of 1.0 mg L −1 L-tyrosine, 2.0 g L −1 saccharin, and 6.0 mg L −1 sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) could inhibit sodium hypophosphite oxidation and nickel ion reduction, which eventually reduced the Ni-P deposition rate. The Tafel polarization curves indicated that the compound additives obviously improved the corrosion resistance of the Ni-P electroless plating layer. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that the composite additives generated fine and uniform Ni-P electroless plating particles and enhanced the density, eliminated the surface cracks, and reduced the pinholes on the electroless plating layer surface. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) tests showed that the addition of complex additives improved the smoothness of the plated layer, the R a value was reduced from 135.0 nm to 53.2 nm, and the R q value was reduced from 164.0 nm to 93.0 nm. The final composition and implementation conditions of the EDTA-2Na-based Ni-P electroless plating system were determined. The deposition rate was 10.44 μm h −1 , the P content of the electroless plating layer was 2.2%, and the electroless plating player was silver-white and bright. Graphical Abstract

Cu 2 O is an ideal template material for the preparation of transition metal hydroxide/oxyhydroxides with oxygen evolution reaction (OER) enhanced catalytic performance. Here, inspired by Pearson's principle, Cu 2 O wires were prepared and used as a sacrificial template to prepare Ni(OH) 2 ·0.75H 2 O hollow tubes (Ni(OH) 2 HTs) with highly improved surface roughness. Benefiting from unique structural advantages, the Ni(OH) 2 HTs showed excellent catalytic activity, rapid kinetics and a long-term stability as the OER catalyst, where an overpotential of only 207 mV was required to drive a current density of 10 mA cm −2 , an ideal kinetics with a Tafel slope as 79.8 mV dec −1 was calculated, and no obvious attenuation in chronoamperometry was discovered after operation for 24 h. This paper provides a novel template-assisted strategy to prepare high-performance transition metal-based OER catalysts possessing hollow and tubular structures.

Photothermal reverse water gas shift reaction is one of the promising methods to palliate global energy and environmental issues. Searching for catalysts with high activity and CO selectivity for CO2 conversion has been attracting extensive attention. In this work, Ni nanoparticle-loaded N-doped CeO2 (Ni/N-CeO2) composite catalysts were synthesized using a three-step method. Under light irradiation, the optimal Ni/N5.0-CeO2 exhibited a CO yield rate of 20.9 mmol·gcat–1·h–1 with almost 100% of CO selectivity via photothermal CO2 reduction. As a comparison, Ni/CeO2, without nitrogen doping, showed a high CH4 selectivity. The strong light absorption of Ni/N5.0-CeO2 mainly by loading of Ni nanoparticles and the enhanced adsorption/activation of CO2 molecules due to increased oxygen vacancies in N5.0-CeO2 by N-doping were supposed to account for the excellent catalytic performances. The doping of nitrogen was of particular importance for the formation of N–H bonds, which could modulate the reaction pathway for promoting the reduction of CO2 toward CO while suppressing the undesirable CO2 methanation process.

Herein, an electrochemical ammonia sensor based on Ni foam-supported silver/polypyrrole and platinum nanoparticles electrode (Pt-Ag/PPy-NiF) was designed and constructed. The Ag/PPy layer was firstly grown on Ni foam surface via oxidation reduction reaction, and then Pt nanoparticles with great electrocatalytic activity were electrodeposited on the surface of Ag/PPy-NiF via cyclic voltammetry methodology. Electrochemical experiments demonstrated that the Pt-Ag/PPy-NiF electrode showed a great electrocatalytic ability of the oxidation of ammonia and an electrochemical aqueous ammonia sensor was proposed accordingly. The ammonia sensor showed a sensitivity of 0.089 mA μM −1 , a detection limit of 37 nM (S/N = 3) and a wide linear range, as well as presenting a good anti-interference capability against many common ions in water. These excellent performances can be mainly attributed to large specific surface of electrode and great electrocatalytic ability of Pt nanoparticles.

Rational optimization of the surface electronic states and physical structures of non-noble metal nanomaterials is essential to improve their electrocatalytic performance. Herein, we report a facile dual-regulation strategy to fabricate NiFeP/Ni (P-NiFeP/Ni) porous nanoflowers, which involves Fe-doping and creating pores on nanosheets. The as-prepared P-NiFeP/Ni has a hierarchically porous surface, which exposes more electrochemically active sites and dramatically enhances the electron transfer rate. Thus, it exhibits excellent catalytic activity in both anodic hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR) and cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Interestingly, the coupled electrolysis cell only offers a potential of 0.162 V at 10 mA cm−2 to enable HzOR boosted H2 evolution, highlighting an energy-saving hydrogen evolution strategy.

Atomically dispersed metal-nitrogen-carbon complexes on carbon supports have drawn tremendous attention in the electrocatalysis fields. Herein, we managed the synthesis of atomically dispersed binary Ni x Fe 100-x -NC (x = 0–100) materials with tunable Ni/Fe ratios and investigated their underneath synergy effects for the enhancement of oxygen reduction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reactions (OER). EXAFS revealed the abundant presence of Ni(N 3 )-Fe(N 3 )-C n moieties in Ni 66 Fe 34 -NC sample. XPS fine scans indicated deep synergy of dual-site Ni/Fe that favored more charge localized over Ni/Fe sites. Electrochemical measurments showed that the Ni 66 Fe 34 -NC delivered a very high ORR half-wave potential ( E 1/2 ) of 0.85 V and a low OER overpotential of 467 mV at ∼10 mA cm −2 ( E j=10). The Fe site with Ni neighboring, as suggested by DFT simulations and in-situ Raman, was the responsible site for both ORR and OER. Furthermore, the Ni 66 Fe 34 -NC-assembled Zn-air battery afforded large specific power density and extraordinary cycling stability.

In recent years, metal–organic framework (MOF) has become a hot electrode material for electrochemistry. However, it has rarely been studied in uric acid detection. In this paper, cubic Ni-based MOF has been synthesized by Ni(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O and H3BTC in room temperature; then, Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) were decorated on Ni-MOF by in situ synthesis method. This electrochemical sensor can response to uric acid (UA) in solution and enhance response signal of UA detection. Next, some experiment conditions including pH, scan rate, and proportion between Au NPS and Ni-MOF have been optimized with cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). And then, the Au/Ni-MOF has been charactered with scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Experiment finding, this electrochemical sensor has a wide linearity range from 15 to 500 μM with a low detection limit of 5.6 μM (S/N = 3). Besides, the sensor constructed also has excellent selectivity and stability. Finally, the Au/Ni-MOF sensor was successfully applied in uric acid detection in the body’s serum.

This article describes the design and synthesis of MgO-modified Ni/CaO catalysts for sorption-enhanced steam reforming of ethanol. The results show that the introduction of MgO effectively increases the dispersion of CaO via forming MgCa(CO 3 ) 2 precursor. In the prepared MgO-modified Ni/CaO catalysts, metallic Ni exists around MgO supported on CaO. Both 100% ethanol conversion and >96% hydrogen purity can be stabilized in 10 cycles over the catalyst containing 20 wt% MgO. The interaction between metallic Ni and MgO enhances the sintering resistance of the catalyst. More importantly, reaction pathway studies have confirmed that the formation of CaCO 3 hinders the activation of H 2 O on the Ni/CaO catalyst surface, and thus inhibits the conversion of the reaction intermediates including HCO* and CH x *. MgO can dissociate H 2 O to form hydroxyl groups which participate in the conversion of the reaction intermediates, thereby the MgO-modified Ni/CaO catalysts have better catalytic performance and carbon deposition resistance.

Magnesium hydride (MgH 2 ) stands out as a promising solid-state material for high-density hydrogen storage , offering enormous potential for applications in hydrogen transportation and storage. However, the stable thermodynamics and sluggish kinetics of dehydrogenation/hydrogenation of MgH 2 impede its practical use in on-board hydrogen storage. In this study, the nanocomposite of nickel/manganese oxide (Ni/MnO) was successfully synthesized through the hydrogenation of nickel-manganese two-dimensional layered double hydroxide (NiMn-LDH) and then introduced into MgH 2 by ball milling to form BM-MgH 2 -Ni/MnO composite. Notably, BM-MgH 2 -Ni/MnO-10 displayed excellent hydrogen absorption/dehydrogenation properties. For example, its onset hydrogen release temperature was remarkably reduced to 175.6 °C, 84 °C lower than that of BM-MgH 2 . At a temperature of 250 °C, it could desorb about 6.2 wt% of H 2 within 60 min. The fully dehydrogenated product could absorb 5.5 wt% of H 2 within 10 min at 150 °C. Moreover, BM-MgH 2 -Ni/MnO-10 exhibited excellent cycling performance. Throughout the cycling process, the in-situ formation of Mg 2 Ni/Mg 2 NiH 4 and metal Mn was detected, leading to a synergistic effect that significantly enhanced the hydrogen storage capability of MgH 2 . This study presents innovative concepts for designing active catalysts to enhance the kinetics of de-/hydrogenation reactions of MgH 2 .

Silver sulfide, cadmium sulfide and nickel (Ag2S/CdS/Ni) ternary nanostructures were fabricated by a two step process and characterized by x-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and UV–vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy. The photocatalytic hydrogen production activity of ternary nanostructures and reference samples were evaluated using triethanolamine (TEOA) as sacrificial reagent in water under visible-light illumination (λ ≥ 420 nm). The result shows Ag2S/CdS/Ni nanostructures exhibited a high visible light photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 1.54 mmolh−1 g−1, which was 4.6 times and 1.4 times higher than that of 1.2% mol Ag2S/CdS and Ni/CdS. The degree of photocorrosion of CdS were employed to study the photogenerated carriers transfer route by measuring and comparing the concentration of Cd2+ in the solution of the photocorrosion experiments in a nonsacrificial system. A long-range electric field, which is similar to the p-i-n electric field structure, was proposed to be constructed by Ni nanoparticles and Ag2S nanoparticles in CdS. Most of the photogenerated electrons and holes in CdS drift to the electron donor and electron acceptor respectively under the action of long-range electric field, which greatly improves the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers and the photocatalytic H2 production activity.

Considering the expensive and rare property of noble-metal based materials, great efforts are made to synthesize high-activity, economical and electrochemically stable catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in harsh alkaline. Heterogeneous materials coupled by transition metal and carbon exhibit high capability for OER in recent years. Here, three-dimensional (3D) porous carbon coupled with Ni and NiO hybrid nanoparticles (Ni-C x-y , x and y are annealing temperature and time, respectively) is synthesized via high temperature pyrolysis and air annealing treatment. Redox reaction between carbon atoms and nickel ions during synthesis could achieve a high-level graphitization, which greatly enhances the corrosion resistance of catalyst in alkaline solution. The overpotential at 10 mA cm −2 and Tafel slope of Ni-C 500-20 achieve 353 mV and 97 mV dec –1 , respectively. Increased defects and intrinsic activity induced by air annealing process and synergistic effect between carbon, Ni and NiO give rise to the enhanced OER performance of as-prepared catalyst, as confirmed by in-situ Raman spectra. The catalyst conforms to sustainable and economic development concept, being a potential material for OER.

Multiple catalysts have exhibited high activity on improving the hydrogen storage performance of MgH 2 . Herein, the hydrogen ab/desorption kinetics of MgH 2 is significantly improved by using Ni@C@CeO 2 as the catalyst. The results show that 10 wt%-Ni@C@CeO 2 doped MgH 2 can absorb 4.51 wt% hydrogen within 60 min under low temperature 75 °C. Furthermore, the MgH 2 -Ni@C@CeO 2 composites release approximately 4.88 wt% H 2 within 10 min at 325 °C. Moreover, the composites show excellent cycling performance, with negligible decrease in hydrogen storage capacity, hydrogen uptake rate and hydrogen release rate after ten cycles at 350 °C. The Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction and transmittance electron microscopy measurements reveal that Mg 2 NiH 4 /Mg 2 Ni and CeH 2.73 phases are in-situ formed. The mutual conversion of “Mg 2 Ni/Mg 2 NiH 4 ” during hydrogen ab/desorption is a well-known “hydrogen pump” effect, which improvs the hydrogen storage performance of MgH 2 . The presence of CeH 2.73 accelerate the conversion of Mg 2 Ni/Mg 2 NiH 4 , which we call ‘facilitated hydrogen pump’ effect. This attempt paves a potential way to achieve high performance Mg-based composites hydrogen storage materials via collaborative action between Ni and Ce species.
