Graphical Hybrid NiS/Ni(OH) x catalyst containing abundant heterointerfaces and appropriate oxygen vacancies show excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity and stability. The oxygen vacancies can be easily regenerated to recover the OER performance after the stability test. A mechanism of oxygen vacancies transformation and regeneration based on the Ni-S-5 catalyst is proposed. Developing low-cost and highly efficient electrocatalysts toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of vital significance for electrochemical water splitting. Herein, we fabricate a heterostructure NiS/Ni(OH) x electrocatalyst (Ni-S-n) with regenerative oxygen vacancies via electro-deposition on nickel foam (NF) followed by a facile NaBH 4 reduction. The resulting Ni-S-5 catalyst with appropriate amount of oxygen vacancies (O vs ) exhibits extraordinary activity for alkaline OER with overpotential of 142 mV and 248 mV to reach the current density of 10 mA cm −2 and 100 mA cm −2 , respectively. This catalyst also shows remarkable durability with 40 h. After the stability test, the excellent OER performance is well recovered by regenerating the surface oxygen vacancies (O vs ) significantly with additional NaBH 4 reduction. The Ni-S-5 catalyst still displays good activity even after repeating it three times (180 h). The surface oxygen vacancies act as vital active sites for OER. A mechanism of O vs species transformation and regeneration based on the Ni-S-5 catalyst is proposed, which provides a new direction for exploring ultrastable and efficient OER electrocatalysts with renewable active species.

Covalent-organic frameworks (COF) and metal–organic frameworks (MOF) were promising precursors for porous carbon-based materials. Calcining individual COF or MOF is usually unfavorable when preparing electrochemical active materials that combine sensitivity, stability, and selectivity. In this work, calcining a core–shell structural Ni-MOF@COF TAPB-DVA prepared a yolk-shell structural composite (YS-Ni@NC), in which the N-doped carbon shell (NC) encapsulated the Ni nanoparticles yolk (NiNPs). A highly selective dopamine electrochemical sensor (YS-Ni@NC/GCE) was developed based on the YS-Ni@NC modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The NiNPs yolk in the derivates provided excellent electrocatalytic activity, and the N-doped carbon shell improved the composite conductivity, enhanced the structural stability, and reduced the nonspecific adsorption of uric acid and ascorbic acid through electrostatic repulsion force. The YS-Ni@NC/GCE electrode exhibited higher selectivity for dopamine than the control electrodes in the presence of uric acid and ascorbic acid due to the electrostatic interaction between YS-Ni@NC and the small molecules. At the optimal experimental conditions, the DA sensor showed a linear concentration range of 0.136∼70.0 μM with a detection limit of 0.041 μM. In addition, the electrochemical performance of the sensor was stable when stored at room temperature for 30 days. Preparation of the yolk-shell structural MOF@COF derivates provided a new approach for fabricating highly selective non-enzymatic dopamine electrochemical sensors.

Harvesting solar energy for efficient photothermal conversion and steam generation over solar evaporators is particularly significant in the context of comprehensive solar utilization toward solving the global shortage of fresh water. Herein, a flexible Ni-based metal–organic framework composite (NMC) with hierarchical structures is constructed as a photothermal material for solar steam-generation devices. Besides, a phase change material (PCM)-based thermal storage pack is incorporated into the solar evaporator to overcome the solar radiation intermittency. By virtue of the synergistic effect of the promising 3D structure and excellent water transport, the NMC-PCM evaporator possesses an outstanding evaporation performance (2.55 kg m−2 h−1) under 1 sun irradiation. More strikingly, owing to the enhanced light-to-heat performance as well as large heat storage capacity, the proposed evaporator achieves a high water-evaporation rate of 1.46 kg m−2 h−1 without sunlight irradiation. This work opens up opportunities to realize excellent energy capture for solar-driven clean water production and solar thermal storage not only under sunlight incidence but also in no light environment.

In this study, the CdS/Ni-MOF74 (CNM) photocatalyst was synthesized via the combination of CdS with the advantageous properties of MOFs. The composites exhibit a wide visible absorption and photo electron-hole separation efficiency, thus giving improved bifunctional properties for H 2 evolution in conjunction with the benzyl alcohol’s oxidation. The results indicate that as synthesized CNM3 catalyst shows excellent efficiency of hydrogen evolution having an evolution rate of 5783 µmol g −1 h −1 , and the amount of benzaldehyde generated after benzyl alcohol’s oxidation reached 8059.8 µmol g −1 . After four cycles, the H 2 evolution efficiency remained at 5351 µmol g −1 h −1 . According to experiments using radical trapping and mechanistic investigations, it was revealed that the photogenerated holes (h + ) were the key species mainly responsible for benzaldehyde production as well as H 2 evolution. This research work could lead to new approaches resulting in simultaneous organic oxidation processes and hydrogen evolution by using MOF-derived hybrid photocatalysts.

Understanding of the structure and interfacial merits that reactive metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) undergo is critical for constructing efficient catalysts for non-thermal plasma-assisted conversion of greenhouse gases. Herein, we proposed a free-standing bimetallic (Co/Ni) MOFs supported on bacterial cellulose (BC) foams (Co/Ni-MOF@BC) toward the coaxial dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma-catalytic system, of which the Co/Ni ions coordination demonstrated an intriguing textual uplifting of the malleable BC nanofiber network with abundant pores up to micrometer-scale, which could impart a more intensive predominant filamentary microdischarge current to 180 mA with stronger plasma-catalytic interaction. Remarkably, compared to the monometallic MOF@BC foams, this bimetallic Co/Ni-MOF@BC also delivered a substantially improved alkaline absorption ability as further confirmed by the CO 2 - temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) result. Benefiting from its 3D superiority and synergy of Co/Ni dual-regulation, the Co/Ni-MOF@BC, therefore, displayed the highest CO 2 and CH 4 conversion rates to 52.31 % and 71.50 %, which was above 1.5 and 1.3 times higher than those of monometallic counterparts and Co/Ni-MOF powder. Additionally, its robust cycling performance has also been evidenced by the excellent long-time DRM performance, unchanged crystallinity, morphology, and surface chemical states. By taking both the catalyst existing form and interfacial optimization of MOFs into consideration for designing a unique DRM catalyst, we believed this free-standing 3D Co/Ni-MOF@BC foams could inspire more research outputs on the design of functional catalysts with abundant pores and alkaline absorption sites to accelerate the redox kinetics of CO 2 /CH 4 conversion.

This study demonstrated the design and fabrication of flower-like Ni/Mn-MOFs materials, and three-dimensional ultrathin flower-like Ni/Mn/MC microspheres were fabricated by embedding metal or metal oxide nanoparticles into a porous carbon skeleton via high-temperature pyrolysis at 600 °C and used for the electrocatalytic degradation of ceftriaxone sodium. This unique ultrathin porous flower-like structure can expose more active sites, provide rapid ion/electron transfer, and improve electrocatalytic activity. Meanwhile, the excellent electrical conductivity of the carbon skeleton, as well as the rational composition and synergistic effect of the two components, can promote the generation of active radicals (•OH and •O 2 − ) in the reaction system, which accelerates the electrochemical degradation process and improves the electrocatalytic degradation performance. The results showed that the Ni/Mn/MC-5:1 composite prepared when the molar ratio of Ni: Mn was 5:1 exhibited the best electrocatalytic degradation performance for the degradation of sodium ceftriaxone. The composites showed 98.2% degradation of ceftriaxone sodium in 120 min and maintained sound degradation after 20 cycles. Therefore, we concluded that this novel multicomponent composite has good electrocatalytic activity and stability for the degradation of antibiotic wastewater.

It is still challenged to propose a straightforward and in-situ growth method of fabricating perovskite-type metal oxide films with dense and uniform surface coverage. This paper presents a simple strategy to prepare LaBO 3 (where B = Ni, Co, Fe, Mn) films by metal oleate (MO) route, in which metal oleates (La(OA) 3 and (B(OA) x , x = 2 or 3) serve as effective ligands to inhibit the self-aggregation among crystal grains. The as-prepared LaNiO 3 film with uniform and dense surface shows a reduced contact angle (31.5° vs 51.2°) and surface roughness (Ra = 14.2 vs 23.9 nm) compared with film prepared by Sol-gel (SG) method. Finally, the LaNiO 3 film by MO route is successfully employed as hole transport layer (HTL) in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) to obtain a power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 15.62 %, which is 1.54 times that of PSCs by SG method. This work opens an avenue for fabricating LaBO 3 films with dense and uniform surface coverage by MO route.

Manganese-based cathode materials for zinc-ion batteries provide a moderate voltage window and good specific capacity. However, the disproportionation reactions cause manganese to dissolve during the charge and discharge process, seriously affecting its cycle stability. Herein, nickel-doped α phase manganese dioxide (Ni-MnO 2 ) obtained by ion exchange effectively improves the lattice stability and cycle stability of manganese dioxide (MnO 2 ). The introduction of Ni 2+ supports the lattice structure of MnO 2 , reduces structural damage and manganese (Mn) dissolution caused by the Jahn-Teller effect during the cycle, and improves its electronic conduction and ion migration capabilities. It quickly completes the activation process at a current density of 0.1 A g −1 and stably maintains a capacity of 233 mAh g −1 . After 2800 cycles at 1 A g −1 , the capacity retention rate remains 96.3 %. In contrast, MnO 2 without ion exchange modification has dropped to 19.6 % after 130 cycles. This paper demonstrates the feasibility of the ion exchange process, bringing more precise and effective ideas to the research and development of high-performance aqueous zinc-manganese batteries.

In micro-injection molding, polymer/mold interface adhesion may cause severe deformation or damage of micro features on the molded products. To reduce the interface adhesion and improve the molding quality of polymer microfluidic chip, Ni-P-PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) ternary composite was adopted to electroform mold insert with self-lubricating properties. The influence of phosphorous acid concentration on the composition and performance of Ni-P-PTFE composites was systematically investigated. Our results demonstrated that the content of P and PTFE particles in the composites raised with an increase in phosphorous acid concentration. Elevated phosphorous acid concentration adversely affected the current efficiency and slowed down the deposition rate, allowing sufficient contact time for PTFE to transfer and adsorb onto the electrode surface. The hardness of the deposited nickel increased from 310 HV to 510 HV in the Ni-P-PTFE composites. Furthermore, the Ni-P-PTFE composites demonstrated excellent self-lubricating properties, showcasing friction coefficients of 0.15 and 0.25 during the initial and steady stages, respectively, representing a notable reduction of 66.7 % and 64.3 % compared to pure nickel. This study provides a novel approach to fabricate molds with self-lubricating properties, which contributes to the high-precision injection molding of polymer-based micro devices.

Constructing heterojunctions via in-situ growth or mechanical mixing have been widely used for improving the photogenerated carrier separation and photocatalytic activity . However, interface transfer impedance and the charge transfer channels of heterojunction prepared by in-situ method are rarely discussed. In this work, we use tubular g-C 3 N 4 (TCN) as the basic photocatalyst and in-situ growth of nickel/aluminum layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets as co-catalyst on the surface of TCN (TCN@Ni/Al-LDH) to show the advantage of the in-situ constructing heterojunction for highly enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production . The results show that the TCN@Ni/Al-LDH-60 exhibits the best hydrogen production performance of 1428 μmol h −1 g −1 , which is 53.3 and 21.33 times higher than that of TCN and mechanical prepared TCN/Ni/Al-LDH-60. For the first time, we propose a statistics model to reveal that the contact area of the heterojunction TCN@Ni/Al-LDH-60 is 2.88 times that of TCN/Ni/Al-LDH-60. This largely increases the charge transfer channels for the photogenerated carrier transport. In addition, the in-situ growth of TCN@Ni/Al-LDH composites increases the active sites, which improves the utilization efficiency of the photogenerated electrons. This study would shed some light on analyzing the in-situ constructing heterojunction photocatalysts for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production through photocatalytic water splitting.

The acidic molecular sieve carrier Hβ supported non-noble metal catalyst Ni/Hβ was prepared by equal volume impregnation method and applied to the hydroalkylation of benzene to cyclohexylbenzene. The effects of calcination procedures on the particle size of Ni and the dispersion degree of metal on the carrier were investigated. Compared with the samples reduced by hydrogen after calcination, the active site Ni of Ni/Hβ obtained by direct thermal reduction in hydrogen is mainly dispersed on the surface of the carrier, with better metal dispersion and smaller particle size of Ni. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the initial pressure of H 2 is 2.5 MPa, the amount of catalyst is 4% of the total reaction liquid, and at the reaction temperature 190 °C for 3 h, the conversion of benzene is 38.4%, the selectivity of cyclohexylbenzene is 72.8%, the selectivity of cyclohexane is 5.2%, the selectivity of dicyclohexylbenzene is 16.5%, and the selectivity of other by-products decreased to 5.5%. After the catalyst was reused for 5 times, the conversion of benzene and selectivity of cyclohexylbenzene were both have a slight decrease. Characterization results showed that the structure of the recovered catalyst was stable, but the specific surface area and pore volume decreased significantly, the resulted problem of catalyst pore blockage can be restored through calcination treatment.

Designing portable electrochemical sensors combined with highly efficient glucose oxidation electrodes offers a significant opportunity for convenient glucose detection. In this report, we present the design and preparation of platinum deposited Ni/NiFe 2 O 4 /Carbon composite (Pt/Ni/NiFe 2 O 4 /C) derived from Ni/Fe metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) followed by Pt deposition. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and electron microscopy (EM) were utilized to analyze the crystal structure, morphology, and chemical composition of the resulting materials. The glucose sensing capabilities of the optimal Pt/Ni/NiFe 2 O 4 /C-3 were assessed using amperometry methods on a smartphone-based portable device. Acting as a nonenzymatic glucose sensor, the Pt/Ni/NiFe 2 O 4 /C-3 electrode demonstrated notable sensitivity and a low limit of detection for glucose. The portable sensor exhibits high sensitivities of 131.88 μM mM cm −2 at low glucose concentration (3–500 μM) and 29.52 μA mM cm −2 at high glucose concentration (700–4000 μM), achieving a low detection limit of 1.1 μM (S/N = 3). The sensor also demonstrates enhanced selectivity and stability for detecting glucose. Furthermore, the portable sensor exhibits a clear step-ampere response in the detection of serum samples with satisfactory recovery ranging from 99.30 to 101.32%. This suggests the significant potential of portable glucose sensing applications. Graphical abstract
