We have applied a scalable multilayer coating method to design three porous cathodes (90 μm thickness, areal loading ca. 25 mg cm −2 , areal capacity ca. 5.3 mAh cm −2 ) based on LiNi 0.9 Co 0.05 Mn 0.05 O 2 active materials in the form of small single-crystal (SSC) particles, large polycrystalline (LPC) secondary particles, and small polycrystalline (SPC) secondary particles. The V-type electrode facilitates Li + transport, has a high characteristic thickness (46–57 μm), long cycle life with an active material utilization of 49.67% and a capacity retention of 88.24% after 100 cycles. The A-type electrode exhibits restricted Li + transport, lower characteristic thickness (23–30 μm), fast cyclic capacity decay with an active material utilization of 26.31% and a capacity retention of 68.76% after 100 cycles. The small particles on the upper layer of the A-type electrode exhibit high-rate characteristics, exceeding 82.5% of the discharge capacity of a single-layer electrode with a uniform mixture of LPC and SSC at a 4C discharge rate. The combination of SSC and LPC particles facilitates high specific energy and cycling stability with optimum stability when stored at 60 °C under 100% state of charge (SOC). The design strategy that is proposed offers a commercial route to boosting battery energy density from 220 Wh kg −1 to above 300 Wh kg −1 .

Nickel-rich cobalt-low layered oxides have attracted much attention as positive electrode materials for high-energy lithium-ion batteries due to their high capacity and low cost, but their inherent stress accumulation and severe cationic mixed reactions will deteriorate the cycling performance. Herein, the nickel-rich single-crystalline LiNi 0.90 Co 0.06 Mn 0.04 O 2 cathode material doped with W and Mg (NCM-WM) has been fabricated to overcome its structure degradation issues. It can be found that the Li/Ni cation mixture can be suppressed by the introduction of Mg 2+ into Li + situs and the replacement of transition metal ions by W 6+ . Meanwhile, the co-doing strategy synergistically depresses the irreversible H2-H3 phase transition to weaken the internal stress, and employs the heteroatoms as the pillar ions to prevent layer structure collapse. In addition, the reduced particle size induced by the W 6+ and increased free electron resulted by Mg 2+ can cooperatively improve the migration kinetics of ions and electrons in the process of cycling. As expected, the above advanced effects result in the prominent cycling properties (capacity retention of 86.7 %, 150 cycles, 2C) of the designed Ni-rich electrode materials. These results demonstrate that the co-doped design is a greatly effective strategy to reinforce the cycling performance of Ni-rich single-crystalline materials.

The synthesis of atomic-scale metal catalysts is a promising but very challenging project. In this work, we successfully fabricated a hybrid catalyst of Ptc/Ni(OH) 2 with atomic-scale Pt clusters uniformly decorated on porous Ni(OH) 2 nanowires (NWs) via a facile room-temperature synthesis strategy. The as-obtained Pt c /Ni(OH) 2 catalyst exhibits highly efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance under basic conditions. In 0.1 mol L −1 KOH, the Pt c /Ni(OH) 2 has an onset overpotential of ~0 mV vs. RHE, and a significantly low overpotential of 32 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 , lower than that of the commercial 20% Pt/C (58 mV). The mass current density data illustrated that the Pt c /Ni(OH) 2 reached a high current density of 6.34 Amg
−1 Pt
at an overpotential of 50 mV, which was approximately 28 times higher than that of the commercial Pt/C (0.223 A mg
−1 Pt
) at the same overpotential, proving the high-efficiency electrocatalytic activity of the as-obtained Pt c /Ni(OH) 2 for HER under alkaline conditions.

Photocatalysts with hollow structures have drawn great interest owing to their high specific surface area, which can enhance the photocatalytic performance. Herein, we designed the hollow cubic Cu2–xS@Ni–Mo–S nanocomposites by vulcanizing from the Cu2O template and loading the Ni–Mo–S lamellas. The Cu2–xS@Ni–Mo–S composites greatly improved the photocatalytic hydrogen performance. Among them, Cu2–xS–NiMo-5 achieved the optimal photocatalytic rate of 1326.07 μmol/g h, which is approximately 3.85 times higher than that of hollow Cu2–xS (344 μmol/g h) and had good stability for 16 h. The enhanced photocatalytic property was attributed to the metallic behavior of bimetallic Ni–Mo–S lamellas and the LSPR (localized surface plasmon resonance) effect of Cu2–xS. The bimetallic Ni–Mo–S can effectively capture the photogenerated electrons and quickly transfer-diffuse to produce H2. Meanwhile, the hollow Cu2–xS not only provided many more active sites to take part in the reaction but also introduced the LSPR effect to increase the solar utilization. This work provides valuable insights into the synergistic effect of using non-precious metal co-catalysts and the LSPR materials to assist in the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have low conductivity, which is not conducive to further application. To address the issue, in this work, using carboxylation multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) as carbon materials, benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (PTA) as organic ligands, nickel nitrate hexahydrate (Ni(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O) as transition metal ions precursors, MWCNTs decorated with nickel MOFs (Ni-MOFs/MWCNTs) nanohybrids were fabricated via in situ growth by a one-pot solvothermal method. The electrochemical properties of the Ni-MOFs/MWCNTs nanohybrids obtained by adjusting the dosage of MWCNTs-COOH and the experimental conditions as electrode materials for supercapacitors (SCs) were investigated. The results showed that the Ni-MOFs nanoflowers self-assembled by nanorods were in situ growth on the MWCNTs, which could avoid the agglomeration of Ni-MOFs and MWCNTs, enhance the specific surface area, and expose more active sites to improve the electrochemical properties. The specific capacity of the Ni-MOFs/MWCNTs nanohybrids as electrode materials obtained at the optimal experimental conditions was 749.6 C g −1 at 1.0 A g −1 .

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.

This study describes a facile and effective one-pot route to synthesize structurally uniform and electrochemically active nickel hydroxide–graphene nanocomposites (Ni(OH)2–GN) and investigates the electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of insulin. Graphene here was used to tether Ni2+ precursor onto surfaces and eventually grow Ni(OH)2 nanoparticles to form hybrid materials. The synthetic Ni(OH)2–GN nanocomposite has a uniform surface distribution, which was characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Moreover, the composition of synthetic Ni(OH)2–GN nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR spectra). The Ni(OH)2–GN were electrochemically treated in 0.1 M NaOH solution through cyclic voltammograms, and then gradually transited into nickel oxyhydroxide–graphene nanocomposites (NiOOH–GN), which demonstrated high catalytic activity and improved stability to insulin oxidation. The steady-state current response increases linearly with insulin concentration from 800 nM to 6400 nM with a fast response time of less than 2 s and a detection limit of 200 nM. The excellent performance of insulin sensor, including long term stability, can be ascribed to the synergistic effects of the large surface area (resulting in high loading ability), dispersing ability and conductivity of graphene and the large surface-to-volume ratio and electrocatalytic activity of Ni(OH)2 nanoparticles.

The electrochemical performance of the lithium−oxygen (Li−O 2 ) batteries largely depends on the material and architecture of the catalytic cathode. In this paper, to avoid the parasitic reactions of carbon and binder with discharge products and reaction intermediates, we proposed an effective design of a free-standing catalytic cathode for Li−O 2 batteries. The FeCo 2 O 4 @Ni electrode consists of FeCo 2 O 4 nanosheets grown directly on nickel (Ni) foam. The resultant hierarchical macroporous/mesoporous structure provides sufficient space for the insoluble discharge product Li 2 O 2 and catalytically active sites for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Consequently, the carbon- and binder-free self-supporting electrode has demonstrated a high discharge capacity with relatively low charge overvoltage and a better cycle performance than the corresponding carbon-based electrodes.

The low electrical conductivity of nickel–cobalt layered oxides and single Ni, Co metal oxides led to the low rate capability and poor cycling stability, which thus limits the commercial application in practical supercapacitor. Here, NiCoO 2 /WCC composite electrode materials were prepared by employing wood chips carbon (WCC) with the high specific surface area and low cost as the conductive layer, where hierarchical spherical structure of laminar NiCoO 2 interspersed as homogeneous and was oriented and constructed on the surface of carbon by hydrothermal and calcination. The strategy provided abundant frameworks and active sites for the in situ growth of NiCoO 2 , which prevented the aggregation of spherical structures to a certain extent; furthermore, the layered spherical structure exposed more active sites, which thus enhanced the electrochemical performance of the capacitor. The NiCoO 2 /WCC electrode ( R Ni:Co = 1) possessed a high specific capacitance of 1053.6 F g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 due to the synergistic effect between the bimetallic oxide and WCC, and the specific capacitance of the electrode remained 906 F g −1 even at a high current density of 10 A g −1 by the lamellar structure with more electrochemical sites. In addition, the asymmetric supercapacitor based on the NiCoO 2 /WCC cathode and the WCC anode delivers a high specific capacitance of 134.4 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 , a high specific energy of 36.6 Wh kg −1 at 1 A g −1 , and good cycling performance (~ 94.3% retention after 5000 cycles), where the above properties were superior to existing and similar electrode materials.

While magnesium hydride (MgH 2 ) is widely acknowledged as an encouraging solid-state hydrogen storage material , its practical utility is hampered by the elevated operating temperatures and sluggish kinetic characteristics. To address these limitations, a composite catalyst consisting of Ni nanoparticles (NPs) deposited onto TiO 2 microspheres (Ni/TiO 2 -MS) was developed and employed as a catalytic agent to enhance the hydrogen desorption and absorption properties of MgH 2 . Remarkably, the introduction of Ni/TiO 2 -MS resulted in a significant reduction of the initial dehydrogenation temperature of MgH 2 to 181.4 °C, demonstrating a decrease of 78.2 °C compared to ball-milled MgH 2 (BM-MgH 2 ). The optimal BM-MgH 2 -Ni/TiO 2 -MS facilitated the desorption of 6.3 wt % of hydrogen within 5 min at 300 °C, while at 150 °C, its dehydrogenated product could absorb 5.4 wt % of hydrogen in only 1 minute. Moreover, the BM-MgH 2 -Ni/TiO 2 -MS sample exhibited remarkable cycling stability over 20 cycles. Through the mechanistic analysis, the simultaneous presence of in-situ formation of Mg 2 Ni/Mg 2 NiH 4 and multivalent titanium species engendered a synergistically catalytic effect, significantly enhancing the hydrogen storage capabilities of MgH 2 . This study affords a very potential strategy for the design of active catalysts aimed at enhancing the hydrogen dehydrogenation/absorption kinetics of MgH 2 .
