The nickel-based metallic organic framework (Ni-MOF) [Ni 2 (OH) 2 (C 8 H 4 O 4 )] material with a hierarchical microblocks structure is efficiently synthesized in 2 h by the ultrasonic method. At the moment Ni-MOF is used as the electrode materials and the supercapacitors (SCs) perform very well with great electrochemical capacity which exhibited particular electric capacitance of 631 C g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 . This is one of the highest performances and the shortest synthesis time reported so far for MOFs. Besides, there is a battery – SC hybrid SC assembled by using Ni-MOF and activated carbon. On the condition of having a power density of 302.2 W kg −1 with the voltage window of 1.2 V, the SC produces an energy density of 28.5 W h kg −1 . During the same period, the SC maintains outstanding cycling stability capacitance retention of 85.5% after 3000 cycles at current density of 10 A g −1 . The great electrochemical capability is due to the distinct crystal texture and particular morphological feature. Herein, it is displayed that the ultrasonic method is a fast and effective approach for preparing Ni-MOF SC electrode materials.

The catalytic reduction of nitroaromatic compounds to aromatic anilines is a widely employed route for producing high-value refined chemicals and large-scale commodities. Developing highly efficient catalysts represents a promising strategy to achieve continuous and selective hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes under flow conditions. In this work, γ-Al 2 O 3 @Ni/FeO x egg-shell microspherical catalysts featuring high atomic dispersion, high specific surface area, and tunable active sites are designed by strategically harnessing hydrotalcite-inspired characteristics, which integrates a Ni–FeO x interfacial synergy into an egg-shell architecture for continuous-flow selective hydrogenation. In the continuous flow selective hydrogenation of o -chloronitrobenzene, the γ-Al 2 O 3 @Ni/FeO x -3 egg-shell microspherical catalyst presents a turnover frequency (TOF) of 30.16 h −1 , substantially higher than those of γ-Al 2 O 3 @Ni and γ-Al 2 O 3 @FeO x . Compared with the uniform Ni 3 Fe 1 /Al 2 O 3 catalyst, the egg-shell catalyst also exhibits enhanced mass transfer efficiency. The egg-shell catalyst enables an increased presence of electron-rich Ni δ- sites and FeO x species rich in oxygen vacancies on the surface of γ-Al 2 O 3 microspheres. Due to the formation of Ni δ- -O v -Fe 2+ , the egg-shell catalyst exhibits remarkable H-spillover capability, significantly enhancing the selective hydrogenation of o -chloronitrobenzene to o -chloroaniline. The apparent activation energy of the γ-Al 2 O 3 @Ni/FeO x -3 catalyst is only 22.99 kJ mol −1 , much lower than those of other egg-shell catalysts, indicating the synergistic integration of metallic Ni sites and oxygen vacancies. In addition, the as-prepared γ-Al 2 O 3 @Ni/FeO x -3 egg-shell catalyst presents long-term stability over 80 h and broad substate scope. This work offers comprehensive guidance for the rational design of industrial egg-shell catalysts, as well as establishes a solid foundation for the continuous flow selective hydrogenation process, aimed at producing substituted anilines from functionalized nitroarenes.

Dry reforming of methane (DRM) offers a sustainable approach for converting greenhouse gases (CH 4 and CO 2 ) into syngas. In this study, we demonstrated the superior efficacy of microwave-assisted DRM over Ni/SiC catalysts calcined at different temperatures. The strong microwave absorption capability of Ni/SiC facilitated rapid catalyst heating, while microwave irradiation lowered the activation energy of DRM, significantly enhancing the conversions of CH 4 and CO 2 . The optimized 3Ni/SiC-923 K catalyst achieved CH 4 and CO 2 conversions of 67.2% and 81.0%, respectively, at 923 K under microwave-assisted DRM, significantly outperforming the respective conversions of 37.4% and 57.1% in conventional thermal DRM. Comprehensive characterizations via BET, XRD, H 2 -TPR, XPS, and microwave absorption analysis elucidate the structure-performance relationship. This work not only presents highly efficient Ni/SiC catalysts for microwave catalytic DRM but also highlights the importance of calcination temperature in adjusting DRM performance.

Spinel oxides are promising electrocatalysts whose activity can be tuned by elemental composition, yet understanding multicomponent synergy remains challenging. Herein, a Spinel-type medium-entropy CoFeCrNiO 4 electrocatalyst is developed, and a Cr-Ni synergistic strategy is proposed to regulate dynamic surface reconstruction during OER. The catalyst exhibits an overpotential of 263.4 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and 365 mV at 300 mA cm −2 in 1 M KOH, with a low Tafel slope of 37.12 mV dec −1 . It also shows excellent stability, with only 2.78% overpotential decay after 24 h operation. In-situ characterization reveals that the Cr-Ni interaction promotes the formation of active oxyhydroxide species during reconstruction. This work provides insights into synergy-driven activity enhancement and offers guidance for the design of high-performance spinel OER catalysts.

Soot-containing terbium (Tb)-embedded fullerenes were prepared by evaporation of Tb4O7-doped graphite rods in an electric arc discharge chamber. After 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene extraction of the soot and rotary evaporation of the extract, a solid product was obtained and then dissolved into toluene by ultrasonication. Through a three-stage high-pressure liquid chromatographic (HPLC) process, Tb@C82(I, II) isomers were isolated from the toluene solution of fullerenes and metallofullerenes. With the success of the growth of cocrystals of Tb@C82(I, II) with Ni(OEP), the molecular structures of Tb@C82(I) and Tb@C82(II) were confirmed to be Tb@C2v(9)-C82and Tb@Cs(6)-C82, respectively, based on crystallographic data from X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Moreover, it was found that Tb@C82(I, II) isomers demonstrated different packing behaviors in their cocrystals with Ni(OEP). Tb@C2v(9)-C82forms a 1:1 cocrystal with Ni(OEP), in which Tb@C2v(9)-C82is aligned diagonally between the Ni(OEP) bilayers to form zigzag chains. In sharp contrast, Tb@Cs(6)-C82forms a 2:2 cocrystal with Ni(OEP), in which Tb@Cs(6)-C82forms a centrosymmetric dimer that is aligned linearly with Ni(OEP) pairs to form one-dimensional structures in the a–c lattice plane. In addition, the distance of a Ni atom in Ni(OEP) to the Cs(6)-C82cage is much shorter than that to the C2v(9)-C82one, indicative of a stronger π-π interaction between Ni(OEP) and the C82carbon cage in the cocrystal of Tb@CS(6)-C82and Ni(OEP). Density functional theory calculations reveal that the regionally selective dimerization of Tb@CS(6)-C82is the result of a dominant unpaired spin existing on a particular C atom of the CS(6)-C82cage.Keywords:metallofullerene;terbium;cocrystals;centrosymmetric dimer;unpaired spin

Selective hydrogenation of nitriles is a feasible route to synthesize primary amines. While highly desirable, conducting the synthesis under mild conditions is challenging. We report non-precious zinc and aluminum oxides supported Ni catalysts (Ni/ZnAlO x ) facilely prepared by calcination and reduction of NiZnAl layered double hydroxide (LDH) precursors. The optimized Ni/ZnAlO x -600 catalyst demonstrates great activity towards the selective hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines. Proper-size metallic nickel provides the hydrogenation centers, and the presence of Ni-Zn alloys indicates strong metal-support interactions, which can produce electron-deficient nickel species and enhances the chemisorption of the C N bonds on the catalyst surface. The introduction of Zinc provides strong Lewis acid sites which also contribute to the catalytic activity. Based on the catalyst characterizations and control experiments, a plausible mechanism is proposed. This catalyst shows good stability and is conducive to the transformation of a variety of aromatic and aliphatic substrates, demonstrating potential application prospects.

To solve the current energy and environmental dilemma, hydrogen energy is considered to be the best clean energy source to replace traditional fossil fuels. Water electrolysis as the main technology for hydrogen production has been affected by two half-reactions, making it difficult to improve the yield. To solve this problem, the development of inexpensive and efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts is the focus of current research. CuCo 2 S 4 /NF(Ni foam) nanowires are synthesized using a mild hydrothermal process and were later placed in a plasma reactor. Application of the voltage triggers a chemical reaction between the microdischarge wires and the sample. This leads to a change in the physical morphology of the catalyst and an improvement in its catalytic performance. The morphological characterization results show that the catalyst modification generates a distinct flower-like nanowire structure, which helps in the solid attachment of the catalyst to the nickel foam surface. The plasma-modified CuCo 2 S 4 /Ni foam (PA@CuCo 2 S 4 /NF) exhibits low overpotentials of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline solutions. Additionally, the Tafel slopes of the HER and OER are 85.9 mVdec −1 and 142.7 mVdec −1 , respectively, indicating optimal reaction kinetics. A cell voltage of only 1.55 V is required to provide a 10 mA cm −2 current during water splitting. This study validates the feasibility of using plasma technology to create high-performance electrocatalysts.

The synthesis of highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts with uniformly dispersed noble metal particles and a suitable size is crucial for various industrial applications. However, the high cost and rarity of noble metals limit their economic efficiency, making it essential to improve the catalytic performance with lower noble metal loading. Herein, a two-step method was developed for the synthesis of uniformly dispersed ~3 nm Pt nanoparticles (NPs), strongly anchored on Ni(OH)2nanosheets (NSs), which was proven by adequate structural characterizations. XPS analysis demonstrated that Ni(OH)2NSs with abundant oxygen vacancies provided sufficient anchor sites for Pt NPs and prevented their agglomeration. The catalytic performance of Ptn/Ni(OH)2(n (represents the addition amount of Pt precursors during the synthesis, μmol) = 5, 10, 15, and 20) NSs with controllable Pt loading were evaluated via the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol as a model reaction. The Pt10/Ni(OH)2NSs exhibited the best activity and stability, with a reaction rate constant of 0.02358 s−1and negligible deterioration in ten reaction cycles. This novel synthetic method shows potentials for the synthesis of highly efficient noble-metal-supported catalysts for heterogeneous catalysis.Keywords:Pt/Ni(OH)2nanosheets;oxygen vacancy;heterogeneous catalysis;reduction of 4-nitrophenol

In theory, electrocatalysts in their metallic forms should be the most stable chemical state under cathodic potentials. It is known that the highly dispersed nanoparticle (NP) types of electrocatalysts often possess higher activity than their bulk counterparts. However, facilely and controllably fabricating well-dispersed nonprecious metal NPs with superior electrocatalytic activity, selectivity, and durability is highly challenging. Here, we report a facile reductive pyrolysis approach to controllably synthesize NiCo alloy NPs confined on the tip of N-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) from a bimetal-MOF precursor. The electrocatalytic performance of the resultant NiCo@N-CNTs are evaluated by a wide spectrum of nitroarene reductive coupling reactions to produce azoxy-benzenes, a class of precious chemicals for textile, food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. The superior electrocatalytic stability, full conversion of nitroarenes, >99% selectivities, and >97% faradic efficiencies toward the targeted azoxy-benzene products are readily attainable by NiCo@N-CNTs, attributable to the alloying-induced synergetic effect. The presence of a CNT confinement effect in NiCo@N-CNTs induces high stability. This added to the metallic states of NiCo empowers NiCo@N-CNTs with excellent electrochemical stability under reductive reaction conditions. In an effort to enhance the energy utilization efficiency, we construct a NiCo@N-CNTs||Ni(OH)2/NF two-electrode electrolyzer to simultaneously reduce nitrobenzene at the cathode and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with >99% yields for both azoxy-benzene and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid.

The chemical transformation of CO 2 produces carbon compounds that can be used as precursors for the production of chemicals and fuels. Here, we investigated the activity and selectivity of the transition metals (Fe, Co, and Ni) supported on CeO 2 catalyst for CO 2 hydrogenation at atmospheric pressure. We found that Ni/CeO 2 shows the highest CO 2 conversion compared with Fe/CeO 2 and Co/CeO 2 . Besides, Co/CeO 2 and Ni/CeO 2 exhibit nearly 100% CH 4 selectivity while Fe/CeO 2 inclines to produce CO. The characterization results show that the metal-support interaction order is Fe/CeO 2 > Co/CeO 2 > Ni/CeO 2 , the weak metal-support interaction over Ni/CeO 2 benefits the activation of H 2 and then promotes the activity of CO 2 hydrogenation. Additionally, in situ DRIFTS results demonstrate that monodentate formate species rather than bidentate formate are the active intermediates. The main route of CO 2 hydrogenation to CH 4 is that CO 2 is firstly transformed to m-HCOO∗ and then direct hydrogenation of the m-HCOO∗ to CH 4 . This study provides insights into the understanding of the mechanisms of CO 2 hydrogenation on CeO 2 based catalysts.

Wood is a natural material with low cost and easy recovery, which porous, layered, excellent structure and mechanical properties make it possible to apply in wastewater treatment. We have successfully grown MoS 2 on natural wood containing porous cellulose and introduced the high conductivity circuit path provided by Ni nanoparticles to construct a new piezoelectric three-dimensional wood block for the efficient degradation of tetracycline. Ni/MoS 2 /Wood exhibited excellent piezo-catalytic degradation performance, and the degradation rate of tetracycline reached 95.96 % (k = 0.0411 min −1 ) under ultrasonic vibration. After 5 cycles, the degradation rate still reached 90.20 %. In addition, Ni/MoS 2 /Wood was used as the reactor filler to degrade tetracycline through piezoelectric response triggered by hydrodynamic force, and the degradation rate reached 90.27 % after 60 min. Further, the mechanism and the possible degradation pathways of tetracycline degradation were proposed. This low-cost, recyclable and stable three-dimensional wood block piezoelectric material provides a new idea for the practical application of wastewater treatment.

It is a challenging task for selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde (CAL) to hydrocinnamaldehyde (HCAL) without additional by-product formation. In this work, a La2O3supported high Ni content nanoparticle catalyst was prepared for CAL selective hydrogenation. Meanwhile, Co-La2O3catalysts were used as a reference catalyst. XRD, TEM, STEM-HAADF, XPS, and H2-TPR measurements were used to investigate the physicochemical properties of Ni-La2O3catalysts. The experimental results confirmed that the CAL conversion and HCAL selectivity were effectively promoted with the increase of Ni loading amounts. At a Ni/La molar ratio of four, a high HCAL selectivity of 87.4% was obtained at a CAL conversion of 88.1% under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst was recycled five times without activity loss. Combined with various characterizations, it could be inferred that the good hydrogen adsorption and dissociation capacity of Ni and the presence of a certain amount of oxygen vacancies on the La2O3support have a positive effect on the improvement of HCAL selectivity. This work provided an effective path to design transition-metal-based supported oxide catalyst for the cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation to hydrocinnamaldehyde.
