Abstract Amorphous nickel catalysts derived from nickel halides (NiF 2 , NiCl 2 , NiBr 2 , NiI 2 ) were in situ synthesized in an aqueous solution of NaBH 4 /NH 3 BH 3 . The halide anions have effects on the formation of Ni(0) catalysts, which can further affect the catalytic activities and activation energies of the catalysts for the hydrolysis of ammonia borane. The PVP stabilized catalysts have higher hydrogen evolution rates and durabilities than bare Ni catalysts for the hydrolysis of ammonia borane. The catalysts derived from NiBr 2 stabilized by PVP present the highest catalytic activity and the lowest activation energy, which has been measured to be 25.58 kJ/mol. This value is lower than most of reported Ni-based catalysts and even noble-metal containing catalysts. The results of mercury poisoning experiment reveal that Ni(0) catalysts derived from NiBr 2 are heterogeneous catalysts in the hydrolysis of ammonia borane. Graphical Abstract

A poly-Ni(II)–curcumin (curcumin: 1,7-bis[4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl]-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione) composite film modified electrode was prepared for amperometric determination of β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). Scanning electron microscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used to examine the morphology and interface property of the Ni(II)–curcumin film. Under optimum conditions, the amperometric detection of NADH provided a wide linear detection range (0.3–300 μM), high sensitivity (230.02 μA mM−1 cm−2) and low limit of detection (LOD = 0.18 μM, S/N = 3). Moreover, the modified electrode showed good stability and reproducibility, indicating that it can improve the analysis signal of NADH in a very convenient way.

In this paper, Pt-Ru/Ni-P/FTO has been designed and fabricated as the counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells. The Pt-Ru catalytic layer and Ni-P alloy sublayer are prepared by traditional electrodeposition method and a simple electroless plating method, respectively, and the preparation conditions have been optimized. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show that the Pt-Ru particles are evenly distributed on FTO and Ni-P/FTO substrate. By X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), it is confirmed that the Ni-P amorphous alloy has been formed, and no other compounds involved Ni and P have been formed. The electrochemical measurement results reveal that the Pt-Ru electrode has higher catalytic activity and stability towards tri-iodine reduction reaction than Pt electrode in the organic medium. The Ni-P sublayer deposited on FTO glasses increases the conductivity and light-reflection ability of the counter electrode, and this contributes to lowering the inner resistance of the cell and improving the light utilization efficiency. Through the photovoltaic test, it is confirmed that the energy conversion efficiency of a single DSSC with the optimized Pt-Ru/Ni-P/FTO counter electrode is increased by 29% compared with that of the cell based on the Pt/FTO counter electrode under the same conditions.

An advanced electrochemical pseudocapacitor material based on reduced graphene oxide and nickel hydroxide (rGO&Ni(OH) 2 ) was prepared by an easy process where ammonia acted as a pre-stabilizer that could be easily removed. The results showed that the agglomeration and re-stacking of rGO could be effectively prevented, resulting in few-layer rGO nanosheet with high specific surface area of 891.22 m 2 /g which could supply large available area for loading nanoparticle. After the incorporation of Ni(OH) 2 nanoparticle, the rGO&Ni(OH) 2 composite owned excellent electrochemical performance thanks to effective prevention of agglomeration and re-stacking of rGO with large size of the sp 2 domain, no residual of pre-stabilizer of ammonia, and tight contact between rGO and Ni(OH) 2 . Specifically, the rGO&Ni(OH) 2 electrode exhibited excellent stability at scan rates from 100 to 300 mV/s. A high specific capacitance of 1,008 F/g was obtained at high current density of 42 A/g in 6 mol/L KOH aqueous electrolyte, and the specific capacitance demonstrated good rate capability. Moreover, rGO&Ni(OH) 2 electrode showed a long cycle life, retaining 74 % specific capacitance after 2,000 cycles at current density of 6 A/g. The advantages of easy process and excellent electrochemical property suggested great potential application of rGO&Ni(OH) 2 in supercapacitors.

Driven by the need of high catalytic performance and low cost Pt-based catalysts for methanol oxidation (MOR) and oxygen reduction (ORR) reactions, we developed a highly active nitrogen species-decorated Pt–Ni–N catalyst with tunable architectures and facets toward high catalytic activity. The synthetic procedure was conducted by Ni2+-assisted morphology and facet transformation from nanoflowers (NFs) (111) to nanoparticles (NPs) (220) and simultaneous optimization of both hierarchical structure and active surface sites. It is found that the adsorption of nitrogen species plays critical roles in determining both facet control of the Pt–Ni–N hierarchical structure and energetic activation of the catalytic reaction. Decoration of surface nitrogen species can effectually improve the relative content and electronic density of Pt0, leading to formation of a hierarchical structure and significantly improved catalytic activity toward both MOR and ORR compared with Pt–Ni and Pt–N, as well as the commercial Pt/C catalysts, indicating a new strategy to obtain highly efficient catalysts. Moreover, the results demonstrate that the catalytic enhancement is mainly due to the synergistic electronic effects among Pt, Ni, and N species.

Antibiotic wastewater poses a significant threat to the global environment and human health. In this work, Ni-Ti bimetallic Metal-Organic Frameworks (NT-MOF) were synthesized as effective photocatalysts to remove tetracycline (TC) from water under visible light irradiation. The photocatalysts underwent characterization using techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), N 2 adsorption-desorption, and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Photocatalytic tests were conducted under visible light conditions (λ>420 nm). The enhanced performance is mainly due to the presence of Ni in NT-MOF changing the shape and structure of the samples, reducing electron-hole recombination, thus promoting the charge separation process. These findings have significant implications for the development of efficient and sustainable methods for the removal of TC from wastewater.

The integration of metal–organic framework (MOF) materials with magnetic cores not only serves as an effective adsorbent but also facilitates the recovery post-adsorption. In this study, we synthesized Ni@ZIF-8 composite nanotubes by introducing ZIF-8 onto the surface of Ni nanotubes, which were used as adsorbents for antibiotic removal. The Ni@ZIF-8 composite nanotubes exhibited high-efficiency and recyclable antibiotic adsorption, with the maximum adsorption capacities for tetracycline (TC) and cefixime (CFX) reaching 770.2 and 428.2 mg·g −1 , respectively. The Ni nanotubes, acting as magnetic cores, facilitated magnetic recovery after adsorption. Furthermore, the introduction of ZIF-8 not only increased the surface roughness of the composite but also incorporated a significant number of functional groups. The pseudo-second-order model, Langmuir model and intra-particle diffusion models provided better fits to the isotherm and kinetic data of the two antibiotics. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations results indicate that the π-π interactions dominate the adsorption process of both TC and CFX onto ZIF-8. And the electrostatic potential (ESP) calculations and interaction analysis indicate that the Ni atom enhances the adsorption behavior through π-π interactions between the benzene ring or carbonyl group of the two antibiotics and the imidazole of ZIF-8. This research offers a novel approach for the removal of antibiotics from contaminated water and environmental remediation using magnetic core-MOF composite materials.

The aqueous hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of renewable biomass is an effective method to produce alternative fuels and high-value-added chemicals. Nonetheless, metal leaching and support collapse are the main obstacles in aqueous HDO. Herein, a series of Ni/T-Nb2O5@C catalysts were successfully prepared for selective HDO of vanillin (a typical lignin-derived model compound). Characterization results revealed that the superior catalytic performance of Ni/T-Nb2O5@C catalysts was due to the efficient adsorption of the reactant preferentially via oxygen vacancies and the excellent selection of deoxygenated products via acid sites on the catalyst surface. Meanwhile, water can interact with vanillyl alcohol (VA) through hydrogen bonding to form a more stable transition state, further reducing the activation energy of the VA hydrogenolysis process and promoting the conversion of VA to 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol (MMP). Ni/T-Nb2O5@C2-2 catalyst exhibited excellent performance for vanillin HDO, achieving 99.9% conversion, 96.6% MMP selectivity, and 87.7% mass yield at 150 °C for 1 h, 1 MPa H2, and a water:ethanol ratio of 8:12, which greatly improved the MMP selectivity (79.2%) of unmodified Ni/T-Nb2O5 catalyst. Moreover, the catalyst had good catalytic capability after eight cycles of less than 25% conversion, and the retention of the initial active substance during the reaction was analyzed. This work may provide insights into the rational design of composite-supported catalysts for biomass-derived compounds HDO in the aqueous phase.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in skutterudite (SKD) compounds containing electronegative elements such as Br, Cl, S, Se, and Te, owing to their increased diversity and the versatility of filler atoms. This study focused on the thermoelectric performance of a series of (Ni, Te) co-doped SKDs filled with the electronegative element S, denoted as SxNi0.4Co3.6Sb11.2Te0.8(x= 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3). These compounds were prepared using a combination of a solid-state reaction and spark plasma sintering techniques. The results showed that (Ni, Te) co-doping introduced excess electrons in the SKD lattice, while the incorporation of the element S into the SKD voids optimized carrier concentration. This led to a considerable increase in the absolute Seebeck coefficient to 110.6 μV K−1at ambient temperatures. The presence of S fillers induced phonon resonance scattering and point scattering, which reduced lattice thermal conductivity and ultimately improved the thermoelectric figure of meritzT, which reached 0.93 for S0.3Ni0.4Co3.6Sb11.2Te0.8at 823 K.

Hydrogen energy as a new type of clean energy has been widely used. Electrolysis is a highly effective method of producing hydrogen from water. Catalysts with low development costs and high efficiency are the focus of current research. A novel Ni–W–P/Mo catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was synthesized by electrodeposition based on a molybdenum mesh. The experimental results show that when the current density is 10 mA/cm2, the best overpotential of Ni–W–P/Mo in alkaline medium is 75 mV. Not only that, the Tafel slope (77 mV/dec) also proves its excellent dynamic performance. In addition, the 60 h stability test at a current density of 10 mA/cm2 indicates an excellent long-term stability performance. Compared with the catalysts reported in recent years, the HER performance of Ni–W–P/Mo is much better than that of most nonprecious metal catalysts. The uniform and regular molybdenum network provides a large area of support for the catalyst, which is conducive to the synthesis and reaction of the catalyst. By doping W, the electronic structure of the catalyst is regulated, and the water decomposition is promoted. The stability of the morphology is also an important factor in improving the activity of the catalyst. The amorphous catalyst synthesized by the electrodeposition method in this work provides a new idea for the research of catalytic materials for hydrogen production by electrolysis of water and has important significance for promoting the development of a hydrogen energy economy.

Electrochemical water-splitting is widely acknowledged as a renewable strategy for hydrogen production, but it is primarily constrained by the sluggish reaction kinetics of the anode oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In our study, we employ a fast room-temperature corrosion engineering strategy for the construction of a sulfur-doped Ni-Fe layered dihydroxide catalyst (S-NiFe LDH). With the assistance of a sulfur source, microsphere morphology with an ultra-thin lamellar surface cross-arrangement can be rapidly grown on the surface of an iron foam substrate, ensuring a substantial electrochemical interface. The composition of Ni species in the catalysts can be regulated by simply adjusting the amount of Ni2+and reaction time. Functioning as an OER catalyst, the S-NiFe LDH demonstrates high activity and reaction kinetics, featuring a minimal overpotential of 120.0 mV to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm−2, a small Tafel slope of 39.5 mV dec−1and a notable electrical double-layer capacitance (Cdl) of 31.3 mF cm−2. The remarkable electrocatalytic performance can be attributed to its distinctive three-dimensional (3D) structure and sulfur dopants, which effectively regulate the electrochemical interface and electronic structure of NiFe LDH. This work provides valuable insights for expeditious materials design.

In this study, a porous Ni-MOF formulated as {(H 2 NMe 2 )[Ni 3 (μ 3 OH)(TPT)(TZB) 3 ](H 2 O) 6 (DMA) 7 } n (TZB = 4-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)benzoate, TPT = 2,4,6-tri(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine, and DMA = N,N-dimethylacetamide) was prepared and its C 2 H 2 and CO 2 adsorption performances were systemically studied both experimentally and computationally. The structural analysis by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveals that the prepared Ni-MOF crystallizes in the space group P6 3 mc and features a porous pacs -type network composed of trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral cages. The activated Ni-MOF (Ni-MOF-a) shows a high C 2 H 2 uptake capacity of 157 cm 3 /g with a moderate C 2 H 2 /CO 2 IAST selectivity of 3.3 at 298 K and 1 bar. More importantly, Ni-MOF-a shows a low adsorption heat for C 2 H 2 ranging from 24.6 to 27.1 kJ/mol at 298 K with a high separation potential of 2.85 mol/kg. In the computational simulation section, six sets of point charge derived from different approaches (Qeq, Mulliken, PACMOF, mCBAC, Mepoml, PACMAN) and two different force-fields (UFF and Dreiding) were used to calculate the C 2 H 2 and CO 2 adsorption isotherms and then compared with the experimental values. Our results reveal that great care should be taken in the selection of point charges and force fields, and the unsuitable combinations might result in an inappropriate C 2 H 2 /CO 2 selectivity which is against the experimental results.
