A series of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were fabricated with Ni-MOF-74 as filler and poly (styrene-b-butadiene-b-styrene) (SBS) polymer as matrix materials for CH 4 /N 2 separation. MMMs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Gas separation behavior was investigated by measuring single and mixed gases. For the single gas, the CH 4 permeability of the MMMs incorporated with 15 wt% Ni-MOF-74 (Ni-MOF-74/SBS-15) reached 83.5 Barrer, which was 116% higher than that of SBS (38.6 Barrer), while its ideal selectivity remained the same. CH 4 permeability can further increase to 176.6 Barrer with the increase in temperature to 55 °C. For the CH 4 /N 2 (50/50 vol%) mixed gas, the Ni-MOF-74/SBS-15 sample exhibited increasing CH 4 permeability (74.7 vs 36.7 Barrer), while selectivity remained unchanged relative to that of the pure SBS membrane.

In this research, we report a simple and cost-effective method for the preparation of two-dimensional (2D) Ni 2 P-Ni(PO 3 ) 2 derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) via a one-step thermal phosphorization strategy. The resulting material is employed to significantly enhance the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance of zero-dimensional (0D) CdS nanoparticles. Through an ultrasonic-assisted strategy, the CdS nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed on the surface of Ni 2 P-Ni(PO 3 ) 2 , leading to the successful fabrication of a Ni 2 P-Ni(PO 3 ) 2 /CdS composite with substantially enhanced photocatalytic performance. Under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm) using Na 2 S-Na 2 SO 3 as sacrificial agents, the 3 wt% Ni 2 P-Ni(PO 3 ) 2 /CdS composite demonstrated a remarkable photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 2235 µmol g −1 h −1 , which is approximately 7.5 times higher than that of pristine CdS (297 µmol g −1 h −1 ). Over a 20 h cycling experiment, the composite catalyst demonstrated remarkable stability, maintaining around 78 % of its initial hydrogen generation efficiency. The enhanced performance of the composite is ascribed to the role of Ni 2 P-Ni(PO 3 ) 2 in facilitating the separation of photoinduced charge carriers from CdS and improving electrical conductivity. A possible electron-hole transfer mechanism is proposed based on the experimental findings. This work is expected to be helpful in fabricating efficient CdS photocatalysts.

In the present study, Pd/Ni foam electrode was prepared by improved impregnation method for electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination (ECH) of clofibric acid (CA). The effects of complexing agent addition into the impregnation solution for the formation of Ni(OH) 2 and the ECH activity of Pd/Ni foam electrode were investigated. Results revealed that the introduction of sodium acetate (the complexing agent) greatly enhanced the ECH activity as compared to common impregnation liquid. Characterizations analyses demonstrated that the addition of sodium acetate did not change the phase of the electrode’s surface, but effectively reduced the deposition of Ni(OH) 2 . The surface morphology of the electrode was changed simultaneously by the addition of sodium acetate and the interlacing structure of Ni(OH) 2 and Pd catalyst was formed. NaAc before -Pd/Ni and NaAc after -Pd/Ni foam electrodes were used to perform ECH experiments on CA, and the combined Pd/Ni foam 15 min electrode was compared with the Pd/Ni foam 6 h electrode. After 2 h of electrolysis, the NaAc after -Pd/Ni foam electrode was found to remove the CA (∼100%) in the solution, which was 1.3 times the removal rate of the Pd/Ni foam 6 h electrode to CA and exceeded the Pd/Ni foam 15 min electrode. Findings from the present study demonstrated that adding the complexing agent into the impregnation solution can improve the ECH activity of Pd/Ni foam electrode and achieve a faster and more efficient dechlorination effect of CA.

Photothermal catalytic CO 2 reduction can combine photocatalysis and thermal catalysis by using full-spectrum solar energy to convert CO 2 into high value-added chemicals. This can effectively alleviate the problems of excessive CO 2 emissions and thermal catalytic energy waste. In this paper, a novel catalyst was prepared using Ce-MOF as a precursor to generate Cu/Ni/CeO 2 for efficient reduction of CO 2 to CO by hydrogenation. Due to the rod-like structure of CeO 2 and the high dispersion of Cu and Ni nanoparticles, 10%Cu 5%Ni CeO 2 can achieve a catalytic activity of 54.21 mmol g −1 h −1 in the full solar spectrum. The supported Cu and Ni metals are the active sites for catalytic reduction. Meanwhile, Cu and Ni enhanced the light absorption ability of the catalyst and the surface temperature under illumination. This is due to the hot charge carriers generated by LSPR effect in Ni and Cu metal nanoparticles, which can dissipate energy through local heating, thus increasing the temperature of the catalyst under illumination. It can be found that the CO 2 reduction activity of photo-assisted thermocatalysis is higher than that of thermal catalysis under the same conditions. Therefore, the combined effect of the electrons generated by UV–Vis light and the heating effect of near-infrared light on catalyst could improve the catalytic activity. This work might provide a potential strategy for efficient photothermal reduction of CO 2 in the future.

The lack of detailed functions of different REMs in NH 3 decomposition to H 2 makes the efficient modified catalysts not rationally be designed though many REMs-modified catalysts have been reported. In this work, the 10Ni/A 1 Mg 4 O α (A = La, Ce, and Y) and 10Ni/MgO, in which supports were synthesized by the sol–gel method and Ni was loaded by the wet-impregnate method, were comparatively investigated to reveal the effect of REMs against NH 3 decomposition reaction. The presence of REMs enhanced the activity of 10Ni/A 1 Mg 4 O α and decreased the activation energy as greatly as by half compared to 10Ni/MgO. The produced H 2 in situ has little impact on the activity of 10Ni/A 1 Mg 4 O α , among which Ce has the most excellent H 2 desorption ability. The intrinsic activity of catalysts was improved better by Ce and Y than La and the best Ni particle size is around 6 nm according to TOF, though the Ni particle is the smallest (4.9 nm) in 10Ni/La 1 Mg 4 O α . The surface structure of catalysts was tuned by doping REMs, forming a solid solution and some defects (oxygen vacancies), which enhanced the interaction between active metal and support with obvious electron transfer from support to Ni obtaining a better Ni dispersion and making NiO easier to be reduced. Additionally, the catalysts doped by La or Ce possess more oxygen vacancy due to the changes of La 2 O 2 CO 3 and the valence of Ce, exhibiting stronger basic sites and better N 2 desorption capacity. The study offers a promising strategy for utilizing appropriate or multiple REMs to synthesize effective catalysts effectively for catalyzing NH 3 decomposition in the future.

Traditional Mn-Ce catalysts for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with CO (CO-SCR) in iron and steel flue gases are often hindered by competitive adsorption of NO and CO, which compromises catalytic efficiency. In this study, we present a Ni-doped Mn-Ce catalyst that overcomes these challenges, achieving 96 % NO conversion, 98 % N 2 selectivity, and 44 % CO conversion at 175 °C. Comprehensive characterization of the catalyst reveals that Ni doping significantly enhances Mn-Ce interactions, boosting oxygen vacancy density and promoting efficient redox cycling between Mn 3 + /Mn 4+ and Ce 3+ /Ce 4+ . Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) confirms preferential NO adsorption at oxygen vacancy sites, minimizing CO-NO competition and stabilizing the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism, where both gases co-adsorb and react at oxygen-rich vacancies. Mechanistic insights suggest that Ni facilitates electron transfer, weakening the N–O bond in NO and accelerating its dissociation, resulting in faster NO reduction. This study establishes Ni doping as a promising strategy for improving the low-temperature performance of Mn-Ce-based CO-SCR catalysts, paving the way for more efficient catalytic systems.

Ni-incorporated SBA-15 magnetic composites were two-stage hydrothermal synthesized from initial strong acidic media through a pH-adjusting method. The structure, morphology, surface area and pore size distribution of the samples were systematically characterized by using XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM and N 2 physical adsorption techniques. It was found that, when pH was adjusted to 7, the obtained sample still could exhibit hexagonal mesostructure, very similar to that of the pristine SBA-15 except for a slightly reduced long-range ordering and surface area. However, an increase in the unit cell and wall thickness of the samples suggested the more Ni species were incorporated into the framework of SBA-15. A further increase in pH to 9 produced deterioration of long-range ordering of the sample, possibly resulting from the blocking of some mesopores. Thus, the pH-adjusting method played an important role on the structure of Ni–SBA-15 composites. Measurements taken with increasing applied field revealed the samples having superparamagnetic behaviors. Furthermore, the saturation magnetization values were increased with the more Ni species transforming into magnetic nanoparticles by the increasing pH.

Morphology control and impurity doping are two widely applied strategies to improve the electrochemical performance of nanomaterials. Herein, we report an environmentally friendly approach to obtain Co-doped Ni(OH)2 nanosheet networks using a laser-induced cobalt colloid as a doping precursor followed by an aging treatment in a hybrid medium of nickel ions. The shape and specific surface area of the doped Ni(OH)2 can be successfully adjusted by changing the concentration of sodium thiosulfate. Furthermore, a Co-doped Ni(OH)2 nanosheet network was further converted into Co-doped NiO with its pristine morphology retained via facile thermal decomposition in air. The structure and electrochemical performance of the as-prepared samples are investigated with scanning and transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, the nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherm technique, and electrochemical measurements. The Co-doped Ni(OH)2 electrode shows an ultrahigh specific capacitance of 1421 F g−1 at a current density of 6 A g−1, and a good retention level of 76% after 1000 cycles, in sharp contrast with only a 47% retention level of the pure Ni(OH)2 electrode at the same current density. In addition, the Co-doped NiO electrode exhibits a capacitance of 720 F g−1 at 6 A g−1 and 92% retention after 1000 cycles, which is also superior to the corresponding values of relevant pure NiO electrodes. The Co2+ partially substitutes for Ni2+ in the metal hydroxide and oxide, resulting in an increase of free holes in the valence band, and, therefore, enhancement of the p-type conductivity of Ni(OH)2 and NiO. Moreover, such novel mesoporous nanosheet network structures are also able to enlarge the electrode–electrolyte contact area and shorten the path length for ion transport. The synergetic effect of these two results is responsible for the observed ultrahigh pseudocapacitor performance.

This work synthesized a series of Ni/CeO 2 /Al 2 O 3 catalysts with varying CeO 2 doping amounts to enhance low-temperature CO 2 methanation. The introduction of CeO 2 weakens the interaction between Ni and Al 2 O 3 , leading to the formation of Ni-CeO 2 active sites. This results in a high dispersion of Ni and CeO 2 , improved catalyst reducibility, increased number of active sites, and enhanced the CO 2 methanation. This work further investigated the impact of WHSV and catalyst stacking configuration to enhance the reaction. When the catalyst is stacked into three segments with a temperature gradient of 330 °C, 300 °C, and 250 °C under WHSV=9000 ml·h –1 ·(g cat) –1 , the CO 2 conversion significantly increases to 95%, which is remarkably close to the thermodynamic equilibrium (96%).

Multifunctional microwave absorbers with robust hydrophobicity and enhanced wave absorption are of great significance for human health and the martial applications. Herein, carbon nanofibers (CNFs) inlaid with Ni/NiO and SiO 2 nanoparticles were prepared by electrospinning and in-situ annealing method. Contrast experiments at different annealing temperatures had been conducted to illustrate the formation process and microwave loss mechanism of Ni/NiO/SiO 2 /CNFs. At the annealing temperature of 550 °C, the optimal reflection loss (RL) of −40.1 dB was reached at 16.6 GHz with a thickness of 2.5 mm, the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) was 5.2 GHz. The maximum EAB of 8.0 GHz was obtained as the thickness close to 3.0 mm, covering the half of X band and entire Ku band. It was worth mentioning that the introduction of nano SiO 2 into the Ni/NiO/CNFs annealed at 550 °C could refine the nanoparticles of Ni, promote the formation of Ni, improve the complex permittivity, and ultimately widen the EAB. Moreover, the contact angle (CA) of the Ni/NiO/SiO 2 /CNFs membranes annealed at 450, 550, 650 and 750 °C was 154.3°, 138.7°, 142.2° and 144.9°, respectively, illustrating that the products were of robust hydrophobicity. Therefore, the as-prepared NFs are promising in multifunction wave absorbers.

Faced with severe electromagnetic wave (EMW) pollution, the development of high-performance EMW absorbers remains a formidable challenge. In this study, SiBCN/Ni fibers containing uniformly dispersed Ni 2 Si nanoparticles were synthesized by electrospinning method with polymer-derived ceramics method, and their electromagnetic properties were evaluated. The low permeability threshold of the fibers ensures sufficient conduction loss effect. The in situ grown Ni 2 Si nanoparticles provide a magnetically coupled network, which is more conducive to obtaining excellent impedance matching. Furthermore, the presence of β-SiC, SiO 2 , and Si 2 N 2 O generates numerous heterogeneous interfaces (e.g., C-SiC and C-Ni 2 Si), leading to enhanced interfacial polarization through the accumulation of charges. As a result, the prepared SiBCN/Ni fibers exhibit impressive EMW absorption properties . At a Ni content of 1 wt%, the effective absorption band (EAB) is 4.32 GHz (13.68–18 GHz). At a Ni content of 1.5 wt%, the minimum reflection loss (RL min ) is −52.98 dB, and the sample has excellent radar scattering capabilities, which is verified by CST Microwave Studio simulations. Therefore, SiBCN/Ni fibers are promising as excellent EMW absorbing materials in practical applications.

As a promising technology to mitigate global carbon emissions, photothermal catalytic CO 2 reduction remains a great challenge in increasing the conversion efficiency and regulating the product selectivity. Herein, a series of phase-separated Ni–Mo alloy catalysts for efficient photothermal CO 2 reduction with tunable CO selectivity is reported. With the increase of Mo content, the evolution rate and selectivity of CO increases. The optimal catalyst Ni 1 Mo 1 achieves 32.1% CO 2 conversion with 98.0% of CO selectivity and 71.1 mmol g cat −1 h −1 of CO evolution rate under a 300 W xenon lamp irradiation. Further increasing the Mo content reduces the CO evolution rate while maintaining the high CO selectivity. In the mechanistic study, it is revealed that the Ni–Mo alloy with an appropriate Ni/Mo ratio (e.g., Ni 1 Mo 1 ) possesses a modified electronic structure with more negative d-band center, which increases the light absorption, reduces the H 2 dissociation, and favors the CO desorption, thereby leading to efficient and selective photothermal reduction of CO 2 to CO. In this work, a viable strategy to design nickel-based catalysts is provided for efficient and selective photothermal CO 2 reduction via composition-mediated modification of electronic structure.
