Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived metal oxides are characterized by high porosity, large specific surface area, controllable composition, and tunable pore size, which make them have good potential as gas sensing materials. In this paper, Ni 3 V 2 O 8 @NiO hollow microspheres derived from bimetallic Ni/V-MOFs were synthesized using a three-step method (solvothermal method, cation-exchange method, and annealing process). XRD, Raman, SEM, TEM, XPS, and BET techniques were employed to investigate the structure, morphology, specific surface area, pore size distributions, elemental composition, and chemical state of Ni 3 V 2 O 8 @NiO composites. Gas sensing performance studies showed that the NV@NiO-2 sensor exhibited higher response (43.7) to 100 ppm triethylamine at a lower operating temperature (240℃), shorter response/recovery time (88 s/127 s), higher selectivity, lower detection limit (4.5 ppb), and better repeatability. In addition, the NV@NiO-2 sensor exhibited a strong linear relationship (R 2 = 0.996) between response and gas concentration across a range of 1–100 ppm. The present work serves as a valuable reference for the preparation of triethylamine sensing materials with high specific surface area, high porosity, high response and high selectivity.

Ni-based catalysts supported on γ-Al 2 O 3 and SiO 2 were prepared by impregnation. Catalyst characterization was performed using XRD, NH 3 -TPD, H 2 -TPR and chemisorption. Effects of supports on catalytic performance were tested using the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of phenolic compounds as a model reaction. Experiment result shows that single phenolic compounds can be converted via HDO reaction over Ni/SiO 2 and Ni/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalysts at 300 °C. The hydrocarbon yields are in the range of 60–90%. The effect of supports on the reaction mechanism was also explored. It is found that hydrogenation of the aromatic ring preferentially occurs over Ni/SiO 2 catalyst while the cleavage of C AR O bond preferentially occurs over Ni/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst in the HDO of phenol. Compared to Ni/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst, Ni/SiO 2 catalyst exhibits better repeatability and higher catalytic activity for hydrocarbon yield when mixed phenolic compounds were used as feedstock in the HDO reaction, and the carbon deposited on the surface of Ni/SiO 2 catalyst is lower.

To produce clean and green hydrogen energy from electrolytic water, better electrocatalytic materials need to be developed. Herein, we reported the development of a Ti3C2 MXene@Ni/Co sulfide hybrid material for the use in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) process, which is effective and stable. The shape of metal sulfide and its interactions with Ti3C2 MXene caused electronic coupling. This increased both the exposed metal sulfide's active edge sites and the charge-transfer speed. When compared with pure MXene and Ti3C2 MXene@NiS nanostructure, Ti3C2 MXene@Co4S3 exhibited outstanding electrocatalytic activity and stability in the HER process. The unique properties of the skeletal structure and the robust interface interaction between Co4S3 and MXene are responsible for the superior performance of Ti3C2 MXene@Co4S3 in the HER process. Our research offers a practical method to synthesize specialized nanostructures for electrocatalysis, electronics, and other applications.

Transfer hydrogenation is a novel and efficient method to realize the hydrogenation in different chemical reactions and exploring a simple heterogeneous catalyst with high activity is crucial. Ni/CNT was synthesized through a traditional impregnation method, and the detailed physicochemical properties were performed by means of XRD, TEM, XPS, BET, and ICP analysis. Through the screening of loading amounts, solvents, reaction temperature, and reaction time, 20% Ni/CNT achieves an almost complete conversion of phenol after 60 min at 220 °C in the absence of external hydrogen. Furthermore, the catalytic system is carried out on a variety of phenol derivatives for the generation of corresponding cyclohexanols with good to excellent results. The mechanism suggests that the hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanone is the first step, while the hydrogenation of cyclohexanone for the generation of cyclohexanol takes place in a successive step. Moreover, Ni/CNT catalyst can be magnetically recovered and reused in the next test for succeeding four times.Keywords:phenol;hydrogenation;Ni/CNT;cyclohexanol;transfer hydrogenation

Silver sulfide, cadmium sulfide and nickel (Ag2S/CdS/Ni) ternary nanostructures were fabricated by a two step process and characterized by x-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and UV–vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy. The photocatalytic hydrogen production activity of ternary nanostructures and reference samples were evaluated using triethanolamine (TEOA) as sacrificial reagent in water under visible-light illumination (λ ≥ 420 nm). The result shows Ag2S/CdS/Ni nanostructures exhibited a high visible light photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 1.54 mmolh−1 g−1, which was 4.6 times and 1.4 times higher than that of 1.2% mol Ag2S/CdS and Ni/CdS. The degree of photocorrosion of CdS were employed to study the photogenerated carriers transfer route by measuring and comparing the concentration of Cd2+ in the solution of the photocorrosion experiments in a nonsacrificial system. A long-range electric field, which is similar to the p-i-n electric field structure, was proposed to be constructed by Ni nanoparticles and Ag2S nanoparticles in CdS. Most of the photogenerated electrons and holes in CdS drift to the electron donor and electron acceptor respectively under the action of long-range electric field, which greatly improves the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers and the photocatalytic H2 production activity.

The efficient removal of antibiotic residues from aqueous solution is very important for water security. Studies have found that adsorption is widely used for the removal of antibiotics due to its cost-effectiveness, low energy consumption, simplicity of operation, and environmental friendliness. In this study, a novel magnetic porous carbon adsorbent (Ni-MPC-400) with a high adsorption capacity and saturation magnetization was synthesized via direct carbonization of Ni-MOF at 400 °C pyrolysis temperature and used to efficiently remove tetracycline from an aqueous solution. Adsorption experiments showed that Ni-MPC-400 exhibited excellent tetracycline adsorption capacity (441.51 mg·g–1) from the aqueous solution. Possible adsorption mechanisms were proposed through characterization and analysis. The adsorption mechanisms mainly involved π–π interactions, hydrogen bonding, metal–organic complexation, and pore filling effects. In addition, Ni-MPC-400 showed rapid and sufficient adsorption at a low concentration of tetracycline (5 mg·L–1) and good adsorption performance over a wide pH range. In addition, the material has been tested to have good immunity to interference and regenerative capacity, demonstrating a potential application in the removal of tetracycline contaminants from aqueous solutions.

Water electrolysis is a promising path to the industrialization development of hydrogen energy. The exploitation of high-efficiency and inexpensive catalysts become important to the mass use of water decomposition. Ni-based nanomaterials have exhibited great potential for the catalysis of water splitting, which have attracted the attention of researchers around the world. Here, we prepared a novel Mo-doped NiFe-based layered double hydroxide (LDH) with a nanoarray microstructure on Ni foam. The doping amount of Mo can significantly change the microstructure of the electrocatalysis, which will further affect the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of water splitting. This novel nanomaterial required only an overpotential of 227 mV for 10 mA cm−2and a Tafel slope of 54.8 mV/dec in 1 M KOH. Meanwhile, there was no Mo, and the NiFe-LDH needed 233 mV to attain to 10 mA cm−2. Compared to the NiFe-LDH without Mo, the NiFeMo-LDH nanosheet arrays exhibited enhanced activities with 17.1 mV/dec less Tafel in OER. The good performance of the electrocatalyst is ascribed to the special nanosheet arrays and the heterostructure of the Ni-Fe-Mo system. These features help to increase the active surface, enhancing the efficient charge transfer and the reactive activity in OER.

Photothermal reverse water gas shift reaction is one of the promising methods to palliate global energy and environmental issues. Searching for catalysts with high activity and CO selectivity for CO2 conversion has been attracting extensive attention. In this work, Ni nanoparticle-loaded N-doped CeO2 (Ni/N-CeO2) composite catalysts were synthesized using a three-step method. Under light irradiation, the optimal Ni/N5.0-CeO2 exhibited a CO yield rate of 20.9 mmol·gcat–1·h–1 with almost 100% of CO selectivity via photothermal CO2 reduction. As a comparison, Ni/CeO2, without nitrogen doping, showed a high CH4 selectivity. The strong light absorption of Ni/N5.0-CeO2 mainly by loading of Ni nanoparticles and the enhanced adsorption/activation of CO2 molecules due to increased oxygen vacancies in N5.0-CeO2 by N-doping were supposed to account for the excellent catalytic performances. The doping of nitrogen was of particular importance for the formation of N–H bonds, which could modulate the reaction pathway for promoting the reduction of CO2 toward CO while suppressing the undesirable CO2 methanation process.

Nanocrystalline Ni–Zn ferrites with different neodymium contents (Ni 0.5 Zn 0.5 Nd x Fe 2-x O 4 ) were synthesized by sol-gel route combined with self-propagating combustion (SPC) method. The presence of surface functional groups, crystal structure and morphology of the samples were studied by FT-IR, XRD and SEM. The results show that the prepared samples are composed of spinel phase under the condition of low neodymium content, like the pure Ni–Zn ferrite. While neodymium oxide appears after the content of Nd 3+ exceeds a certain limit (x > 0.04) and there exist two phases in the ferrite. The results of vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and vector network analyzer (VNA) show that adjusting the content of Nd is significant in improving the dielectric properties and microwave absorption capacity of the materials, specifically at low frequencies. When x < 0.04, the enhancement of dielectric loss ability of spinel ferrites by doping Nd 3+ is the dominant factor affecting microwave absorption ability of samples. The secondary phase Nd 2 O 3 hardly appears under this condition, thus the weakening effect of Nd 3+ addition on magnetic loss ability is not obvious. When x = 0.04, the optimal absorption peak of the material reaches −20.8 dB at 4.4 GHz with a thickness of 8.5 mm and the effective absorption bandwidth (R L < −10 dB) was 3.2 GHz. On the contrary, when x > 0.04, the magnetic loss ability decreases rapidly (e.g., Ms decreases from 82.47 emu/g to 59.77 emu/g). Meanwhile, the dielectric loss increases slowly and the microwave absorption capacity decreases.

Hydrogenolysis of glucose and cellobiose, used as the model feedstocks, over Ni–WO3/SBA-15 catalysts has been investigated to probe the influencing factors for the conversion of cellulose to ethylene glycol (EG). The conversion of glucose and cellobiose to EG showed different dependencies on reaction temperature; a lower reaction temperature was needed for the former. Additionally, the surface atomic ratio of W to Ni on the Ni–WO3/SBA-15 catalysts was the key factor for the product distribution. Both glucose and cellobiose had their own optimum W–Ni ratio for the production of EG, and the ratio of W to Ni for glucose was slightly lower than that of cellobiose. On the other hand, the Ni–WO3/SBA-15 catalysts were thoroughly characterized by N2 adsorption–desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), hydrogen-temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicated that the reducibility of Ni–WO3/SBA-15 catalysts with high Ni loading was more similar to that of pure NiO. More importantly, the change of surface atomic content of Ni and W of Ni–WO3 catalysts with various Ni loadings resulted from the surface W species of the catalysts being gradually covered by Ni species with the increase of Ni loading.

Four methods were adopted to prepare samples 20%NiO/Al 2 O 3 with calcination fixed at 500 °C, which were then reduced into 20%Ni/Al 2 O 3 and used as catalysts for reaction of selective methanation of CO in H 2 -rich gas (CO-SMET). XRD and TPR measurements indicate that nickel aluminates were formed in the calcined samples and their formation was influenced by preparation methods. Higher temperatures were required to reduce the calcined samples more efficiently and to achieve a higher catalytic activity for CO-SMET. Among the four methods, the precipitation method using ammonium carbonate as precipitant produced the highest catalytic activity both for CO methanation and for CO 2 methanation after reduction at 800 °C for 2 h. The calcined sample 20%NiO/Al 2 O 3 prepared with the method was therefore used as support and impregnated with Ru 3+ solution. Ru addition promoted reduction of Ni 2+ ions in the calcined sample even at the low temperatures of 400 °C and 500 °C. The catalyst 1%Ru–20%Ni/Al 2 O 3 reduced at 500 °C thus had a superior performance, removing CO to ca. 30 ppm with a selectivity as high as 75% at reaction temperature of 220 °C.

Electrolytic water-splitting has the advantages of high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and sustainability. It is becoming a leading approach for producing hydrogen. In order to improve the efficiency of water-splitting, a bifunctional electrocatalyst with high performance is needed. Herein, we present a novel approach to construct a bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water-splitting by compounding Ni(OH)2 and CoP. This combination induced charge optimization, thereby leading to surface reconstruction. The nanocomposite displayed outstanding catalytic performance, benefiting from its more reactive surface area, improved conductivity and enhanced electrocatalytic activity. The resulting Ni(OH)2/CoP electrocatalyst exhibited excellent catalytic performance, with low overpotentials of 266 mV at 50 mA cm−2 for the OER and 71 mV at −10 mA cm−2 for the HER, and required only 1.54 V to reach 10 mA cm−2 in an overall water-splitting device, overtaking most of the recently reported Co- and Ni-based catalysts. This innovative strategy offers new directions for the design of efficient electrocatalysts.
