Magnesium hydride (MgH 2 ) with its high hydrogen storage capacity (7.6 wt%) and exceptional reversibility, has emerged as a promising solid-state hydrogen storage material. This study designed a polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) supported single-phase Ni catalyst with superior thermal stability and catalytic activity. The optimized PCN-Ni catalyst significantly reduced the initial dehydrogenation temperature of MgH 2 to 192 ºC. At 295 ºC, the composite released 6.10 wt% H 2 within 5 min, and it subsequently absorbed 5.50 wt% H 2 within 5 min at 150 ºC. Compared to pristine MgH 2 , the activation energies for dehydrogenation and hydrogen absorption were reduced by 31.6 % and 29.4 %, respectively. Moreover, the MgH 2 + 10 wt% PCN-Ni composite exhibited remarkable cycling stability, with capacity retention rates of 96.0 % and 96.7 % after 20 hydrogenation/dehydrogenation cycles. In conclusion, this work provides a new perspective on the heterogeneous synergy of transition metal and carbon nitride composite catalysts in promoting the dehydrogenation/rehydrogenation reactions of MgH 2 and lays the foundation for the design and fabrication of highly efficient catalysts in other energy storage related fields.

Surface microstructure of grains vastly decides the electrochemical performance of nickel-rich oxide cathodes, which can improve their interfacial kinetics and structural stability to realize their further popularization. Herein, taking the representative LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2(NCA) materials as an example, a surface heterojunction structure construction strategy to enhance the interface characteristics of high-nickel materials by introducing interfacial ZnO sites has been designed (NCA@ZnO). Impressively, this heterointerface creates a strong built-in electric field, which significantly improves electron/Li-ion diffusion kinetics. Concurrently, the ZnO layer acts as an effective physical barrier against electrolyte corrosion, notably suppressing interfacial parasitic reactions and ultimately optimizing the structure stability of NCA@ZnO. Benefiting from synchronous optimization of interface stability and kinetics, NCA@ZnO exhibits advanced cycling performance with the capacity retention of 83.7% after 160 cycles at a superhigh rate of 3 C during 3.0–4.5 V. The prominent electrochemical performance effectively confirms that the surface structure design provides a critical approach toward obtaining high-performance cathode materials with enhanced long-cycling stability.

Despite the substantial efforts in the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into high value-added products, directly transforming CO2 into CH4 at low temperatures still poses a formidable challenge. In this study, we report a bottom-up strategy to synthesize supported Ni catalysts on a doped Al2O3 support. LaAl mixed oxide was first synthesized via a co-precipitation method, followed by Ni species loaded using a deposition precipitation method. The CO2 conversion of the Ni/LaAl catalyst is found to be greatly enhanced, two times higher than that of the Ni/Al2O3 catalyst at 250 °C. The characterization results show that the introduction of La promotes the dispersion of Ni, reduces the reduction temperature of NiO and facilitates the adsorption of CO2 by increasing the basic sites. Temperature-programmed reduction with H2 demonstrated that La2O3 promotes the reducibility of NiO. Furthermore, kinetic analysis, in situ DRIFTS and CO methanation tests evidenced that La2O3 promotes the activation of CO2 and accelerates the CO hydrogenation step.

An immunosensing platform was developed based on the enhanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of luminol-dissolved oxygen (O 2 ) by nanochannel-confined Ni(OH) 2 -CeO 2 composite nanozyme, which is able to sensitively detect cytokine. The mesoporous silica nanochannel array film (SNF), decorated on a cost-effective ITO electrode, features ultrasmall (2∼3 nm) nanochannels, enabling the confinement of in situ synthesized Ni(OH) 2 -CeO 2 composite nanozyme via a continuous electrodeposition process. Ni(OH) 2 -CeO 2 exhibits dual peroxidase (POD) and oxidase (OXD) enzyme-like activities, serving as an efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and catalyze luminol oxidation. Compared to nanozymes synthesized on flat electrodes, nanochannel-confined nanozyme demonstrates superior ECL enhancement. The combination of Ni(OH) 2 and CeO 2 exhibits strong synergistic catalytic performance, boosting ECL of luminol-O 2 under neutral conditions by 33.7 orders compared to electrode without confined nanozyme. Using tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) as a proof-of-concept demonstration, immunosensor is fabricated by immobilization recognition antibodies on the SNF outer surface. TNF-α binding induces immunocomplex formation, reducing ECL signal by increasing interfacial resistance and hindering luminol diffuse. This enables sensitive TNF-α detection over a wide linear range (10 fg/mL to 10 ng/mL) with an ultralow detection limit of 8 fg/mL. The immunosensor demonstrates good selectivity, stability, and reproducibility.

LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 (NCM811) cathode material is prized in the electric vehicles (EVs) industry for its high capacity and voltage during operation. However, the high residual alkali content and inferior ionic conductivity of Ni‑rich cathode materials are the intractable obstacles to the large-scale commercial application for a long time. Herein, a feasible Nb 2 O 5 coating strategy is proposed to eliminate residual alkali along with constructing high Li + conductive coating layer on NCM811 cathode materials surface. Impressively, 0.3% Nb 2 O 5 ‑coated NCM811 cathode exhibits superior rate capability (146.4 mA h g −1 @400 mA g −1 ) and remarkable rate cyclic stability (188.5 mA h g −1 after 100 cycles with capacity retention of 94.8%). On the one hand, a small quantity of Nb 2 O 5 coating on NCM811 surface can react with surface residual alkali to promote the transformation of low electronic conductivity surface residual alkali into the Li + conductor of LiNbO 3 coating layer, enhancing Li + de-intercalation kinetics and rate performance. On the other hand, excessive Nb 2 O 5 coating may introduce Nb 5+ into the lattice of NCM811, acting as pivotal components within the Li + layer, which effectively suppresses the H2 ↔ H3 phase transition, contributing to long-term cyclic stability. This work paves a new path for the rational design and facile coating of Ni-rich oxide cathode materials with reinforced structure stability and boosted rate capability in high‑energy‑density lithium-ion batteries.

Efficient hydrogenolysis of C-O bonds in lignin offers a promising pathway for producing high-value-added biofuels and chemicals. However, designing an easily synthesized, highly active catalyst for this process remains a challenge. In this paper, a series of Ni-M(Pd, Pt, Ru)/C catalysts were prepared and synergized with NaOH to produce aromatic compounds from β-O-4 model compound (MC). Among the catalyst systems, Ni-0.25 % Pd/C-NaOH completely converted β-O-4 MC at mild conditions (150 °C, 2 MPa H 2 , 3 h) to produce monomers with a yield of 95.6 wt% and excellent selectivity of the bond-breaking products as high as 85.5 %. Recycling tests showed that the Ni-0.25 % Pd/C catalyst remained stable after five cycles, with high activity and without the need for a further reduction before runs. Further, the catalytic system has proven to exhibit high activity for the cleavage of other types of lignin MC, such as 4-O-5, α-O-4, β-O-4 and ether bond (diphenyl ether, benzyl phenyl ether, Guaiacolylglycerol-β-guaiacol ether, benzyl ether) and also effective for lignin from enzymatic cleavage (LEC). Hydrogenolysis of LEC achieved a monomer yield of 34.5 wt%; the molecular weight (555 g/mol) of the hydrogenolysis oligomer was significantly reduced compared to LEC (2872 g/mol). The highly active and stable Ni-0.25 % Pd/C-NaOH catalytic system provides a promising pathway for the efficient hydrogenolysis of lignin and lignin model compounds to produce high-value biofuels and chemicals.

This study presents a novel direct methylhydrazine fuel cell (DMHFC) utilizing a hydrothermally synthesized Pd-Ni(OH) 2 composite catalyst supported on nickel foam (Pd-Ni(OH) 2 /NF) as the anode. The Pd-Ni(OH) 2 /NF features a three-dimensional hierarchical architecture with dispersed Pd nanoparticles (0.08 mg cm −2 ) chemically anchored via Pd-O-Ni bonds in the Ni(OH) 2 nanosheet matrix, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) analyses. The electrode demonstrates superior electrocatalytic activity for the methylhydrazine oxidation reaction (MHOR), attributed to enhanced active site accessibility, charge transfer efficiency, and optimized mass transport. Differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) reveals complete oxidation of hydrazine fragments to N 2 with suppressed NH 3 byproduct formation relative to Pd/C. Systematic optimization of operating conditions yields a peak power density of 30.5 mW cm −2 (oxygen as the oxidant, 80 °C) and 110 mW cm −2 (hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant, 80 °C), with performance trade-offs observed between reaction kinetics and fuel crossover. This work validates the feasibility of DMHFC technology, highlighting the potential of methylhydrazine as a high-energy-density fuel for portable systems, while providing insights into electrode design and performance optimization for advanced energy conversion devices.

The sustainable valorization of lignocellulosic biomass into high-value platform chemicals presents a crucial pathway for reducing reliance on fossil resources. Gamma (γ)-valerolactone (GVL) has gained recognition as a versatile bio-derived compound with broad applications in renewable energy systems and green chemical synthesis. While conventional GVL production strategies from carbohydrate biomass typically depend on noble metal catalysts paired with high-pressure hydrogen gas, these approaches face substantial technical barriers including catalyst costs, hydrogen storage requirements, and operational safety concerns in large-scale applications. This work develops an innovative catalytic system utilizing earth-abundant iron for in situ hydrogen generation through water splitting, integrated with Raney Ni as the hydrogenation catalyst. The designed two-stage process enables direct conversion of cellulose—first through acid hydrolysis to levulinic acid (LA) followed by catalytic hydrogenation to GVL without intermediate purification. Through systematic parameter optimization, a remarkable 61.9% overall GVL yield from cellulose feedstock was achieved. Furthermore, the methodology’s versatility was demonstrated through wheat straw conversion experiments, yielding 24.6% GVL. This integrated methodology explores a technically feasible pathway for direct cellulose-to-GVL conversion utilizing abundant water as the hydrogen source, effectively overcoming the critical limitations associated with conventional hydrogenation technologies regarding hydrogen infrastructure and process safety.

13-Ni/ZrO2, 13-Ni3P/ZrO2, 13-Ni/SiO2, and 13-Ni3P/SiO2 catalysts were used in the hydrogenation of diethyl oxalate (DEO) to ethyl glycolate (Egly) to investigate the modulating effect of phosphorus. XRD, TEM and FT-IR results show that phosphorus act as a divider of Ni metallic particle and shows a segregation effect. The presence of P transformed the linkage of surface metals from the original -Ni-Ni-Ni-Ni- to the P-Ni-P-Ni-P state, and FT-IR shows that the former adsorbed CO in a combination of linear and bridging adsorption mode, whereas the latter predominantly in CO linear adsorption. Bridging adsorption is via dual sites and makes the preliminary hydrogenation products less likely to detach from the catalyst surface thus facilitating deep hydrogenation, while linear adsorption facilitates partial hydrogenation by a rapid detachment of intermediate product like Egly. The various loading Ni3P/SiO2 catalysts show incomplete phosphorylation with increasing nickel loading, giving rise to a state of coexistence of Ni and Ni3P crystalline phases. This may lead to a coexistence of surface -Ni-Ni-Ni-Ni- and P-Ni-P-Ni-P and the corresponding assort of adsorption, e.g. bridging/linear ones, making deep hydrogenation occur partially besides stepwise hydrogenation.

Reusable catalysts based on non-noble metals with broad applicability for nitrile catalytic hydrogenation are key to achieving more sustainable primary amine production. Herein, a simple and efficient carbon-coated non-noble nickel-based catalyst (Ni/NiO@C-600-200-1-H₂O) was developed for the hydrogenation of aromatic substituted nitriles to aromatic substituted amines under relatively mild conditions (120 °C, 10 bar H₂, 4 h). The carbon-coated structure endows the catalyst with excellent anti-agglomeration properties, significantly enhancing its cyclic stability. The catalyst exhibits high tolerance toward various functional groups, including halogen, methyl, and methoxy, achieving remarkable conversion rates (over 99%) and product selectivity (up to 98.25%). Additionally, the catalyst's magnetic properties facilitate easy recovery and reuse. When applied to a continuous flow reactor for benzonitrile hydrogenation under optimized conditions, the catalyst demonstrated a conversion rate and selectivity exceeding 99%, with continuous operation lasting up to 31 h.

Electrolysis of seawater is considered a green route for hydrogen generation; however, its practical application is limited by strong electrode corrosion and slow OER kinetics in chloride-rich media. Herein, we report a crystal-facet engineering strategy to construct nickel hydroxide with a parallel array structure on nickel foil (denoted as Ni(OH)2/NFPA, where NFPA represents nickel foil with parallel array) via a facile two-step etching-hydrothermal method. Structural characterization confirms the formation of high-index Ni(220) surfaces and well-aligned hydroxide nanostripes, which promote more favorable bubble–electrode interactions and contribute to improved interfacial stability. Owing to its characteristic parallel array configuration, Ni(OH)2/NFPA exhibits outstanding OER performance in alkaline electrolyte, delivering a low overpotential of 256 mV at 10 mA·cm−2together with a Tafel slope as small as 74.9 mV·dec−1, surpassing commercial RuO2and disordered Ni(OH)2nanosheets. The optimized electrode also delivers remarkable durability, maintaining stable operation for 48 h at 100 mA·cm−2even under harsh alkaline seawater conditions at 80 °C. Bubble dynamics analysis reveals that the ordered array morphology produces a superaerophobic surface, enabling rapid detachment of oxygen bubbles and ensuring efficient mass transport. This study highlights facet-controlled construction of parallel nanoarrays as a promising approach to improve catalytic efficiency, corrosion resistance, and bubble management in seawater electrolysis, offering useful implications for the rational design of high-performance electrodes for practical hydrogen production.

Chemical looping reforming of methane (CLRM) is a promising technology for syngas production, offering efficient utilization of CH 4 to generate syngas with a desirable H 2 /CO ratio for downstream applications. This study investigated the influence of Ni incorporation in Y-Fe-Al garnet-type oxygen carriers (OCs) in CLRM. The Ni 0.2 -Y-Fe-Al OC demonstrated a pronounced enhancement in performance compared to its undoped counterpart, elevating the methane conversion from 66.6 % to 98.4 % and increasing the syngas yield from 5.79 to 8.38 mmol g −1 at 850 °C. The incorporated Ni species introduced additional active sites for methane activation, enhanced surface basicity, and improved lattice oxygen mobility, which collectively facilitated the selective oxidation of methane to syngas, especially at low temperatures (<850 °C). Cyclic tests confirmed that Ni incorporation enhanced the redox stability and mitigated phase segregation, leading to sustained high reactivity over multiple cycles. In situ DRIFTS analysis verified that the fundamental reaction pathway, proceeding via the -CH 3 →-CH 2 →-CHO intermediates, remained unaltered after Ni addition. This work established that incorporating Ni in garnet-type OCs is an effective strategy for enhancing both redox activity and cyclic stability in CLRM systems.
