The Ni-P/TiN/PTFE (poly tetra fluoroethylene) composite coatings were prepared by electroless plating method on Ti plate, which was used as bipolar plates of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The morphology, crystallographic texture, electrochemical corrosion, contact resistance, and hydrophobic property of the Ti bipolar plates with coatings were investigated. The results revealed that Ni-P/TiN/PTFE coating had a dense surface morphology, uniform distribution of composite particles. Ti with coating showed 0.48 μA cm 2 of corrosion current in the simulated solution of PEMFCs and 6 mΩ cm 2 of interfacial contact resistance (ICR). The hydrophobicity test showed that the coating interface was flat and the wetting angle was 112.4°. In conclusion, The Ni-P/TiN/PTFE composite coatings exhibit superior improvement in corrosion resistance, interface hydrophobicity, and conductivity to Ni-P, Ni-P/TiN, and Ni-P/PTFE coatings. The Ni-P/TiN/PTFE coating was suited for bipolar plate surface modification of bipolar plates.

The exploration of earth-abundant and high-efficiency electrocatalysts for water oxidation is of great significance for sustainable energy conversion. Co–Mo-based bimetallic oxides are considered as promising candidates for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to their high intrinsic activity and low cost. In this work, we reported an interfacial engineering design of CoMoO4 nanoplate arrays wrapped with Ni(OH)2 nanosheets supported on Ni foam for high-performance OER. Remarkably, benefiting from the hierarchical heterostructure arrays with strong interfacial interaction, enlarged surface areas, and more active sites, the optimized CoMoO4-Ni(OH)2 electrocatalyst manifests the excellent OER catalytic performance with a low overpotential of 349 mV at the current density of 100 mA cm–2, a long-term stability, and high (nearly 100%) Faradaic efficiency, which is superior to those of most previously reported Co–Mo-based bimetallic oxides electrocatalysts. Therefore, this interfacial engineering demonstrates an effective strategy for designing and fabricating high-performance electrocatalysts for OER reaction.

The catalytic decomposition of methane is a strategic process to produce COx-free hydrogen and carbon nanomaterials. In this work, for the first time, highly porous ceria was prepared by a urea-assisted solid state combustion method and used as a support for the preparation of a set of platinum-promoted nickel catalysts. The amount of Pt varied from 0.05% to 0.2% while retaining 20% nickel in the catalysts. The prepared catalysts were completely characterized for their structural, textural and redox properties, and their catalytic performance was tested for undiluted methane decomposition. A fine surface dispersion of nickel oxide over ceria was observed in the prepared catalysts. No peaks related to Pt were observed in the catalysts, indicating its good surface dispersion. An enhancement was observed in the properties of the Ni/CeO2 catalyst after the addition of Pt as a promoter. The crystallinity of NiO was not altered by the addition of Pt, whereas the specific surface area of the catalysts was increased with the incremental addition of Pt. Furthermore, the reduction temperature of nickel oxide was shifted to low temperature in the Pt-promoted catalysts due to the hydrogen spillover effect. The surface composition and chemical states of the Pt-promoted Ni/CeO2 catalysts were further studied using XPS. The Pt-promoted Ni/CeO2 catalysts exhibited high catalytic efficiency for methane decomposition due to their improved catalytic properties. The addition of Pt increased the hydrogen yield, and a significant increase in the hydrogen yield was observed for the incremental amount of Pt in the catalysts. Moreover, by increasing the reaction temperature from 650 °C to 750 °C, the hydrogen yield increased significantly. A maximum hydrogen yield of 65% was observed for the 0.2% Pt@Ni/CeO2 catalyst at 750 °C. The enhanced activity and stability of the catalysts were attributed to the synergistic effects of Ni and Pt due to their fine surface dispersion over ceria with a proper metal–support interaction. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes with different diameters were deposited over the catalysts. The carbon nanotubes deposited over the Ni/CeO2 catalyst were found to be more homogeneous than the Pt-promoted catalysts. Moreover, a wide hollow channel was observed in the carbon nanotubes deposited over the Pt-promoted catalyst.

Novel hierarchically porous CoAl-LDH (layered double hydroxides)/MFe 2 O 4 (Ni, Zn, Co) hybrids with excellent peroxidase-like catalytic activity , high selectivity and reusability were first fabricated by using natural cotton as a bio-template. Among them, CoAl-LDH/NiFe 2 O 4 exhibited the best intrinsic peroxidase-like property due to its 3D hierarchically porous structure with more exposed active sites, which could effectively catalyze peroxidase substrate 3,3′,5,5′- tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H 2 O 2 to produce typical blue color reaction. A facile and visual system for glucose detection using glucose oxidase was successfully established, which exhibited a sensitive response to glucose in the range of 25–400 μM with detection limit of 13 μM based on the hydroxyl radical originated from the decomposition of H 2 O 2 by the catalysis of CoAl-LDH/MFe 2 O 4 (Ni, Co, Zn) hybrids. This work offered an effective strategy to achieve morphology-controllable hierarchically porous materials and provided a new insight into seeking novel enzyme mimetics with enhanced catalytic activities.

Nickel-based metal oxides/hydroxides are promising electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction. However, their electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is very poor. Herein, taking Mo-incorporated nickel hydroxide (Mo-Ni(OH) 2 ) as an example, a facile, time-efficient, and low-temperature H 2 /N 2 plasma activation strategy is developed to activate the HER performance by constructing heterostructure. This kind of heterostructure is composed of metal, metal alloy, metal nitride , and oxygen vacancy-riched metal hydroxide with more exposed catalytically active sites, enhanced mass activity, and accelerated electron transport. The optimized plasma-activated Mo-Ni(OH) 2 (P-Mo-Ni(OH) 2 ) manifests superior HER performance to pristine Mo-Ni(OH) 2 and even comparable to the benchmark Pt/C catalyst in alkaline solution. Moreover, when assembling a two-electrode urea-assisted water electrolysis system by using P-Mo-Ni(OH) 2 as both cathode and anode, the assembled cell only need a small voltage of 1.36 V to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm −2 and exhibits extremely stable catalytic performance up to 1000 h.

The reduced oxide graphene (RGO) supported Ni-based catalysts is prepared and modified with ceria (Ni-Ce/RGO) for CO 2 methanation for the first time in the present work, and compared with the active carbon (AC) and γ-Al 2 O 3 supported samples. The results show that the catalytic activity of the samples without ceria follow the order Ni/RGO > Ni/γ-Al 2 O 3 > Ni/AC, vs . samples with ceria Ni-Ce/RGO > Ni-Ce/γ-Al 2 O 3 > Ni-Ce/AC. The activities of all samples were greatly improved after ceria modification. The Ni-Ce/RGO works the best for CO 2 methanation, which could reach the highest CO 2 conversion of 84.5% and the highest methane yield of 83.0% at 350 °C with atmospheric pressure. The excellent catalytic performance of Ni-Ce/RGO could be attributed to the special support effect of RGO and the ceria promotion effect. The support effect of RGO could be attributed to its large surface area and surface oxygen-containing functional groups, which results in stable anchoring of the active metal. The addition of ceria promotes the Ni dispersion on the supports as well as to accelerate the positive reaction due to the oxygen vacancies of ceria.

Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has prospect to becoming clean and renewable technology for hydrogen production and Ni–Mo alloy is among the best HER catalysts in alkaline electrolytes. Here, an in situ topotactic reduction method to synthesize ultrathin 2D Ni–Mo alloy nanosheets for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution is reported. Due to its ultrathin structure and tailored composition, the as-synthesized Ni–Mo alloy shows an overpotential of 35 mV to reach a current density of 10 mA cm −2 , along with a Tafel slope of 45 mV decade −1 , demonstrating a comparable intrinsic activity to state-of-art commercial Pt/C catalyst. Besides, the vertically aligned assemble structure of the 2D NiMo nanosheets on conductive substrate makes the electrode “superaerophobic,” thus leading to much faster bubble releasing during HER process and therefore shows faster mass transfer behavior at high current density as compared with drop drying Pt/C catalyst on the same substrate. Such in situ topotactic conversion finds a way to design and fabricate low-cost, earth-abundant non-noble metal based ultrathin 2D nanostructures for electrocatalytic issues.

Stable nickel (Ni) isotopes have shown great potential for investigating planetary accretion processes, mantle–crust magmatism, and paleo-marine evolution. The development of an economical and time-efficient separation method for Ni isotope analysis holds significant value within the realm of Ni isotope research. Previous purification methods for Ni isotope analysis have typically relied on either multi-column procedures or the utilization of significant quantities of organic reagents, such as acetic acid, acetone, and dimethylglyoxime. In this study, a novel two-column chromatographic separation procedure was presented for the determination of Ni isotope compositions in geological materials. A cation resin (AG50W-X8) was utilized in conjunction with diluted HCl and HF to effectively remove a substantial portion of matrix elements. Subsequently, trace amounts (100–200 μL) of Ni-spec resin were used for further purification of Ni. This relatively simple purification scheme for Ni isotope analysis effectively reduces the use of organic reagents and the amount of Ni-spec resin compared to previous methods that relied on multi-column separation and organic reagent extraction. Ni isotopic compositions were analyzed using multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS). The instrumental mass discrimination of Ni isotopic ratios was corrected for using the double spike (DS) combined with the sample–standard bracketing (SSB) method. The Ni isotope compositions (δ60Ni) of in-house standards (SCP and CUG) were −0.06 ± 0.05‰ (2 SD, n = 104) and 0.36 ± 0.06‰ (2 SD, n = 97), respectively. Furthermore, the measured δ60Ni values of various geological reference materials (BCR-2, BHVO-2, BIR-1, DTS-1, DTS-2b, SDO-1, GSP-2, and W-2a from the USGS; JB-1b from the GSJ; GSR-2, GSR-3, GSR-4, GSR-5, and GSR-10 from the NRCGA) were consistent with previous studies within measurement error. Additionally, the δ60Ni values of AGV-1 from the USGS, as well as those of GSR-10, GSR-12, GSR-15, GSR-17, GSR-18, and GSR-19 from the NRCGA are reported here for the first time. Based on repeated measurements of pure solutions and reference materials, the long-term reproducibility of δ60Ni values was better than ± 0.06‰ (2 SD). Consequently, our study presents a relatively straightforward purification method for Ni for its isotopic analysis using only trace amounts of organic reagents and Ni-spec resin.

The electrocatalytic reduction reaction of nitrate (NO 3 − ) to ammonia (NH 3 ) provides an efficient and clean NH 3 production method, which has the potential to replace the traditional industrial preparation methods. However, the limited activity and Faraday efficiency (FE) of existing catalysts impede the practical application of this technology. Herein, in this work, a high-performance catalyst with high NH 3 yield and FE was fabricated. Co–Ni bimetallic oxide (NiCo 2 O 4 ) catalysts with tuned surface oxygen vacancies (OVs) contents were prepared by changing the heating rate during calcination, NiCo 2 O 4 calcined at a heating rate of 5 °C/min (NiCo 2 O 4 -5) possessed the highest surface OVs content. Experimental studies showed that NiCo 2 O 4 with higher surface OVs had better NO 3 RR activity, inhibited the production of nitrite (NO 2 − ), and exhibited higher selectivity to NH 3 . Among prepared catalysts, NiCo 2 O 4 -5 demonstrated superior performance in electrocatalytic reduction of NO 3 − to NH 3 , achieving a high NH 3 FE (94.4 %) and yield (193.2 mmol/h g −1 ) at a suitable applied voltage. Besides, in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis suggested that NiCo 2 O 4 -5 preferentially followed the NO 3 RR pathway as follows: *NO 3 → *HNO 3 → *NO 2 → *HNO 2 → *NO → *HNO → *N → *NH → *NH 2 → *NH 3 .

Hydrogen production through electrochemical water splitting (EWS) presents a viable solution for addressing the fossil energy crisis. However, the commercial viability of this approach is impeded by the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). It is urgently needed to develop efficient, stable, and cost-effective OER electrocatalysts. Herein, we comprehensively design and investigate a phosphate ion and Fe3+ codecorating Ni(OH)2/NiOOH electrocatalyst (Pi-Fe:NiOH) for OER. This codecoration induces multiple synergistic effects, which include an increase in the interlayer water content for the internal OER, altering the OER mechanism, facilitating proton transport across the layers, and improving the stability of Pi-Fe:NiOH. Consequently, Pi-Fe:NiOH exhibits a high OER activity with overpotentials of 118 ± 1 and 222 ± 4 mV at current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm–2, respectively. More impressively, it maintains stable operation at a high current density of around 300 mA cm–2 for at least 500 h, much better than the Ni(OH)2/NiOOH electrocatalyst (NiOH) for less than 6 h at a current density below 200 mA cm–2. These findings offer insights for the design of anion–cation codoped hydroxide eletrocatalysts, paving a way for the development of efficient and stable OER electrocatalysts.

Ni/NiO/C composites were prepared by successively thermal annealing Ni-based metal organic frameworks (Ni-MOFs) in nitrogen and air atmosphere. Moreover, comparative electrochemical properties of the material before and after calcination were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The result indicated that the Ni/NiO/C was more suitable for the matrix of myoglobin (Mb)/hemoglobin (Hb) immobilization to fabricate enzyme-based biosensor for the detection of nitrite (NO2−). Among them, the Mb-based biosensor exhibited a wider linear range from 4 to 40892 μM with a lower detection limit of 1.3 μM (S/N = 3) toward NO2−. The good electrochemical properties of Ni/NiO/C could be mainly due to the synergistic integration of MOFs-derived Ni, NiO and carbon hybrids, which could work as electron conducting pathways between the Mb (Hb) and the electrode surface to facilitate the electron transfer process. Therefore, this work suggested that MOF-derived composites have a great potential for constructing wide range of sensing interface.

The sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) hampers the H2 production by H2O electrolysis, and it is very important for the development of highly efficient and low-priced OER catalysts. Herein, a representative metalloporphyrinic MOF, PCN-600-Ni, integrated with graphene oxide (GO), serves as an ideal precursor and template to afford bimetallic iron–nickel phosphide/reduced graphene oxide composite (denoted as Fe–Ni–P/rGO-T; T represents pyrolysis temperature) via pyrolysis and subsequent phosphidation process. Thanks to the highly porous structure, the synergetic effect of Fe and Ni elements in bimetallic phosphide, and the good conductivity endowed by rGO, the optimized Fe–Ni–P/rGO-400 exhibits remarkable OER activity in 1 M KOH solution, affording an extremely low overpotential of 240 mV at 10 mA/cm2, which is far superior to the commercial IrO2 and among the best in all non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts.
