Conversion of renewable lignin to value-added aromatic chemicals presents a broad prospect to achieve the goals of “carbon neutrality”. In this work, an efficient approach is proposed for selective hydrogenolysis of lignin to valuable 4-propyl syringol in the presence of cost-effective catalyst of y Ni/ZrO 2 - x MoO 3 . When the lignin hydrogenolysis is performed with 15Ni/ZrO 2 -10MoO 3 , 15.4% yield of monophenols is achieved, which is approximately twice as that from the 15Ni/ZrO 2 catalytic system (7.8%). Importantly, 33.1% of these monophenols are identified as 4-propyl syringol (4-PS), a versatile fine chemical. An extensive characterization of the modified catalysts by means of XRD, nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherm, SEM, TEM, XPS, NH 3 -TPD, CO 2 -TPD, and H 2 -TPR, confirms that the introduction of MoO 3 changes the primary phase of ZrO 2 and the acidity/basicity properties of catalyst. As a result, an enhanced cleavage of the C-O linkage between S-lignin and other units is demonstrated, which consequently contributes to the good selectivity of 4-propyl syringol. Therefore, this work provides a new insight for producing bulk aromatic chemicals via a sustainable route.

H 2 S is a kind of common impurity produced during the gasification of biomass, and it will poison the catalysts used in biomass tar steam reforming , leading to a rapid degradation on the catalytic performance. The purpose of this work is to investigate the characteristics of biomass tar steam reforming using Ni/perovskite catalysts with the presence of H 2 S. Results show that H 2 S could significantly reduce catalytic activity due to the adsorption of sulfur on Ni surface , and Ni/perovskite catalysts are less susceptible to this poisoning in comparison to the Ni-catalyst loaded on γ-Al 2 O 3 . To understand the mechanism, fresh and spent catalysts were characterized using various techniques of XRD , SEM-EDS, XPS and TPO . It is proved that the lattice oxygen in perovskite could transform into surface species, inhibit the adsorption of sulfur and thus benefit to the reactivity of catalysts during biomass tar steam reforming.

FeSiAl/(Al 2 O 3 -Ni) soft magnetic composites (SMCs) were prepared by sintering FeSiAl/NiO composite powders, and the formation mechanism of the Al 2 O 3 -Ni composite coating and performance of the FeSiAl SMCs with different NiO coating content were studied. During sintering, high temperature promoted a reaction between Al and NiO at the FeSiAl/NiO interface, resulting in the in-situ formation of a composite coating comprising Al 2 O 3 coating with high integrity and ferromagnetic Ni coating. The interdiffusion of Al and O 2– toward the interface ensured the continuation of the reaction and growth of the composite coating. The composite coating thickened with the increasing NiO coating content, thus showing reduced real part of permeability. Saturation magnetization considerably increased until the NiO coating content exceeded 12.5 wt% owing to residual NiO. Excessive NiO coating content led to the generation of a large amount of Ni, which was not conducive to the integrity of the Al 2 O 3 coating and increased magnetic loss. The FeSiAl SMCs with 5.0 wt% NiO coating content exhibited exceptional performance with high saturation magnetization (135.3 emu/g), good frequency stability of permeability, and low magnetic loss (63.7 W/kg at 0.05 T/20 kHz).

The layered double hydroxide (LDH) has been practically applied in the field of tribology and materials science due to its unique physicochemical properties, weak bonding, flexible structural composition, and adjustable interlayer space. In this work, a series of ultrathin and flexible composition of Ni-Fe LDH samples were prepared via a cost-effective room-temperature co-precipitation process. Then, they were mechanically dispersed into GTL base oil and their lubricating performance were tested by a four-ball tribometer. It is found that the variation of Ni-Fe ratio of Ni-Fe LDH has a great influence on the improvement of lubricating performance of GTL base oil. At the same concentration (0.3 mg/mL), the Ni-Fe LDH with Ni/Fe ratio of 6 was demonstrated to exhibit the best lubricating performance and the AFC, WSD, the wear volume, surface roughness and average wear scar depth decreased 51.3%, 30.8%, 78.4%, 6.7% and 50.0%, respectively. SEM-EDS and X-ray photoelectron spectra illustrated that the tribo-chemical film consisting of iron oxides and NiO with better mechanical properties formed and slowly replaced the physical film, which resists scuffing and protect solid surface from severe collisions.

Due to escalating carbon emissions, increasing attention is being focused on the synthesis of biomass-derived liquid fuels with a low CO 2 footprint. Currently, the dominant biobased liquid fuel in the diesel range is green diesel, produced via deoxygenation of non-edible natural/waste oils and their free fatty acid components into engine-compatible diesel-range alkanes. Industrially, sulfided NiMo or CoMo catalysts are typically used, leading to total hydrocarbon yields of 70-80 wt%. However, their inevitable sulfur leaching often contaminates the products and requires the addition of sulfur-containing agents. Here, we developed a highly selective sulfur-free Ni-Cu alloy catalyst by disentangling the electronic and size effects, to enable green diesel synthesis through the decarbonylation of palmitic acid—the most common fatty acid in these feedstocks. An unprecedented decarbonylation product (pentadecane) yield of 98% (on a molar basis) was achieved using a Ni-Cu alloy catalyst with a Ni/Cu ratio of 1:1 under mild reaction conditions (2 MPa H 2 , 250 °C). Minimal metal sintering or leaching was observed after multiple reuses. Kinetic studies show that incorporating Cu into Ni markedly reduces both the apparent activation energy and the reaction order for the conversion of palmitic acid. These results, combined with catalyst characterization, reveal that introducing Cu into Ni not only facilitates the adsorption and activation of the carboxylic hydroxyl group to promote the reductive deoxygenation of palmitic acid into aldehyde/alcohol intermediates—the slow step in decarbonylation—but also weakens the adsorption of C–C bonds on Ni by enhancing its electron density.

The assembly of different Metal organic framework (MOFs) into hybrid heterostructures has proven to be a promising strategy that can effectively break through the limited regulatory capacity of single metal sites. Here, an S-scheme heterostructure (Fe 3 Ni-MOF) based on homologous ligands (1,4-phthalic acid) of ultra-thin Ni-MOF and Fe-MOF nanoparticles with directional electron transport channels, was developed and used it for photoreduction of CO 2 . Under the S-scheme electric field mechanism, the photogenerated carrier can achieve efficient directional separation through Fe–O–Ni atomic bond, which significantly reduces the energy barrier of the rate-determining step. Results show that the performance of Fe 3 Ni-MOF (63.5 μmol g –1 ) was 20 and 3.2 times higher than that of Ni-MOF and Fe-MOF, respectively, and exhibits excellent CO selectivity (96.4%) and stability. Transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy revealed the two-molecular-layers structure of Ni-MOF and the micro-assembly structure of Fe 3 Ni-MOF, which can shorten the electron transport distance and increase the molecular mass transfer rate. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron spin resonance and electron density difference calculations reveal that interfacial electric fields and atomic bonds work together to promote directional carrier separation, resulting in the accumulation of holes on Ni-MOF and electrons on Fe-MOF. The Gibbs free energy calculation and in-situ Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy validate that the micro-assembled S-scheme heterostructures with directional electron transport channels can significantly reduce the activation energy barrier of the reaction. This study not only proves the feasibility of constructing MOFs S-scheme heterostructures using homologous ligands, but also provides a new way to overcome the limitations of monometallic MOFs. This strategy is expected to open up a new avenue to design efficient photocatalysts.

Biolipids and oil hydrogenation are prominent alternatives to petroleum-based fuels. Currently, the catalysts used are limited to deoxidation activity, resulting in the reaction products with a high content of n-alkanes and waxes, necessitating secondary treatment to increase iso-alkane content. Herein, an unsupported Ni–Nb–O catalyst with trifunctional capabilities (i.e., hydrodeoxygenation, hydrocracking, and isomerization) was developed for the efficient conversion of methyl stearate and jatropha oil into small molecular alkanes. The metal ratio significantly affects the catalytic performance, in which Ni/Nb = 2:0.6 exhibited the highest isomerization activity. Moreover, 84% of the deoxidized products are C8–C17 hydrocarbons, with 53.4% being isomeric hydrocarbons. The catalyst also demonstrated excellent stability, maintaining 54% selectivity for C8–C17 iso-alkanes in jatropha oil feedstock during 240 h of operation.

We show that a nickel-amine complex (nickel-diethylenetriamine, Ni-DETA) is an efficient organic template for the one-pot synthesis of Ni-SSZ-13 zeolite. The effects of the reaction compositions, including the molar ratios of SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 , H 2 O/Al 2 O 3 , Ni-DETA/Al 2 O 3 , and Na 2 O/Al 2 O 3 , on the synthesis of the pure product were investigated using different temperatures and synthesis times. Physicochemical characterizations, including XRD, SEM, and 27 Al NMR, show that the zeolitic product has good crystallinity, uniform crystals, and contains a tetrahedral Al 3+ species. The N 2 sorption isotherms, TG–DTA curves, IR spectra, and UV–Vis spectra show that Ni-DETA acts as a template in the product obtained. Interestingly, Ni-SSZ-13 zeolite is obtained by the conversion of Ni-Y zeolite produced in the crystallization process.

A suitable component with a benefited morphology is crucial to ensure the good electromagnetic absorption (EA) ability if used as electromagnetic absorber to deal with the severe electromagnetic interference crisis. In this research, Ni x Co 3-x S 4 hollow nanoprisms with tunable Ni/Co molar ratios have been successfully prepared through a simple liquid reflux and subsequently conducting a sulfidation reaction. The morphologies, crystal phase structures were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). As revealed by TEM, the Ni x Co 3-x S 4 displayed hollow nanoprism shape with an average length of 1.2 μm, width of 100 nm and edge thickness of 13 nm, respectively. Afterward, the electromagnetic absorption abilities of these Ni x Co 3-x S 4 products at various x values (x = 0.2, 0.5, 0.8) were investigated in terms of the theory of transmission lines. The results demonstrated that the bandwidth ((RL ≤ −10 dB) with a specimen thickness of 2.0 mm could cover 5.6 GHz when x∼0.5, which is much greater than Ni 0.2 Co 2.8 S 4 and Ni 0.8 Co 2.2 S 4 filling layers. The electromagnetic loss mechanism was discussed in depth, which was correlated with molar ratios, and unique hollow nanoprism structure.

Catalytic steam gasification is a promising route for converting plastic waste into valuable gaseous products. This work explores the heterogeneous catalytic gasification behavior of polystyrene (PS) in a two-stage fixed bed system, as well as the promotion mechanism for the generation of gaseous hydrocarbons. The obtained results indicate that adding MnCo 2 O 4 catalyst can effectively promote the formation of gaseous hydrocarbons. Further, the incorporation of Cu strengthens the above reaction process, resulting in a yield of 85.08 mmol/g for the C 1 -C 3 gaseous hydrocarbons. However, the doping of Ni has a negative effect on the generation of gaseous hydrocarbons. Moreover, an increase in the flow rate of steam within the system results in an initial rise followed by a decline in the yield of gaseous hydrocarbons. The optimal steam inflow is determined at 0.14 mL/min. The cycling test results of the catalyst show that the yield of the gaseous components of C 1 -C 3 can still be maintained at about 80 % of the initial state after five cycles. Finally, the synergistic pathway of steam and catalyst in PS gasification is elucidated. These works provide important and valuable guidance for the preparation of high-value gas-phase hydrocarbon products from waste plastics.

At the present time, the subject of seawater scouring and corrosion phenomena is attracting considerable attention. Accordingly, the present study involved the synthesis of CuPP materials and the preparation of Ni-Cu/CuPP coatings for deployment in marine environments characterised by elevated stress and corrosion. The results show that CuPP can effectively enhance the wear resistance and long-term corrosion resistance of Ni-Cu coatings, which is attributed to ‘fine grain strengthening’ and ‘diffusion strengthening’. Furthermore, the formation of a friction transfer film and the transformation of the wear mechanism are the primary factors contributing to the exceptional wear resistance of the Ni-Cu/CuPP composite coatings.

Nano-sized SAPO-11s were hydrothermally synthesized with using di-n-propylamine (DPA) as structure-directing agent in mixed n-tetradecanoamine–n-propanol–H 2 O medium and the Ni/SAPO-11 catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation. The catalysts was characterized by XRD, SEM, BET, H 2 -TPR, NH 3 -TPD and TG techniques and their catalytic performance was tested in hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of palm oil to hydrocarbon fuels. Surfactant n-tetradecanoamine could mediate the minimum SAPO-11 sizes into 20–50 nm. As comparing to the commercial SAPO-11, the nano-sized SAPO-11s presented significantly enlarged surfaces and mesoporous volumes, which offered sufficient space and strong interactions for dispersing Ni. One-step HDO of palm oil demonstrated that the nano-sized SAPO-1 supported Ni catalysts showed the high yield (80%) of liquid hydrocarbons, high isomerization selectivity (80%) and excellent stability due to that the catalyst presented appropriate acidity, higher Ni dispersity, balance of metal (Ni) and acid (SAPO-11) functionalities and fast diffusion for bulky palm oil and products. These promotion effects observed over the nano-sized SAPO-11 supported Ni catalysts indicated the potential application in biorefinery of vegetable oils to hydrocarbon fuels.
