Graphical Dispersed Nanoparticles : Highly dispersed PdNi nanoparticles (NPs) have been successfully immobilized on mesoporous carbon nitride (MCN) through a facile co-reduction approach, which shows excellent catalytic performance for hydrogen release from an ammonia borane (AB) aqueous solution at room temperature. Highly dispersed Pd and PdNi nanoparticles (NPs) have been successfully immobilized on mesoporous carbon nitride (MCN) through a facile co-reduction approach. The resulting Pd/MCN catalyst shows excellent catalytic performance for hydrogen release from an ammonia borane (AB) aqueous solution with a turnover frequency (TOF) value of 125 mol H 2 mol metal −1 min −1 at room temperature, which is among the highest values for monometallic Pd-based catalysts reported to date. The catalytic performance of the Pd NPs can be further enhanced by alloying with Ni or Co atoms. Among all the synthesized Pd x Ni 100− x /MCN nanocomposites (NCs) with different Ni/Pd ratios, the Pd 74 Ni 26 /MCN catalyst exhibits the best catalytic performance with a TOF of 246.8 mol H 2 mol metal −1 min −1 . The high activity of Pd/MCN and Pd 74 Ni 26 /MCN are largely dependent on the features of the ultrafine metallic NPs immobilized by MCN, the interfacial interaction between the MCN matrix and metallic NPs, and the accessible open porous structure for mass transfer.

Ni-Co-N doped honeycomb carbon (HC) nano-composites Ni 3 Co 1 -N/HC (Ni 3 Co 1 -N/HC-20, Ni 3 Co 1 -N/HC-30 and Ni 3 Co 1 -N/HC-40 with respective metal mass percentage of 20%, 30% and 40%) with a regular hexagonal structure have been fabricated by using the simple polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) emulsion template method . The side length of the carbon hexagon is ca. 100 nm for the honeycomb carbon (HC). For the Ni 3 Co 1 -N/HC catalysts, the NiCo nanoparticles and the nanocarbon tubes derived from dicyandiamide are uniformly dispersed on HCs. The as-synthesized Ni 3 Co 1 -N/HC catalysts exhibit efficient electroactivity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline medium and possess excellent tolerance to the alcohols (ethanol, n -propanol and iso -propanol). Based on these results, a membrane-less direct alcohol fuel cell has been assembled with the Ni 3 Co 1 -N/HC as the cathodic catalyst, the ternary Pd 7 Ag 2 Sn 2 /CNT as the anodic catalyst and alcohol (ethanol, n -propanol or iso -propanol) as the fuel. The fuel cell with the Ni 3 Co 1 -N/HC-40 as the cathodic catalyst displays the open circuit voltage of 0.79 V and maximum power density of 42.2 mW cm −2 for the ethanol fuel , 0.60 V and 33.3 mW cm −2 for the n -propanol fuel, and 0.43 V and 14.4 mW cm −2 for the iso -propanol fuel. The membrane-less fuel cell also presents stable discharge performance at different discharging current densities.

Non-noble-metal electrocatalysts for water splitting hold great promises for developing sustainable and clean energy sources. Herein, a highly efficient bifunctional electrode consisting of Ni-doped molybdenum nitride nanorods on Ni foam is prepared through topotactic transformation of NiMoO4 nanorods that are in situ hydrothermally grown on Ni foam. The electrode not only contains rich, accessible, electrochemically active sites but also possesses extraordinary chemical stability. It exhibits excellent hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction performance in 1.0 M KOH with low overpotentials of 15 and 218 mV, respectively, at a current density of 10 mA cm–2, superior to the commercial benchmark materials Pt/C and RuO2 under the same condition. A simple water electrolyzer using the obtained electrode as both the anode and cathode needs a very low cell potential of 1.49 V to reach a current density of 10 mA cm–2 and maintains stability for 110 h without degradation. The excellent performance of the electrode could be attributed to the formation of highly conductive, corrosion- and oxidation-resistant metal nitrides and the synergetic effect between intimately interconnected, electrochemically active nickel molybdenum nitride and Ni or NiO nanoparticles. This study shows that the use of transition metal nitrides in combination of nanostructured heterojunctions of multiple active components enables one to develop highly stable and efficient water electrolyzers without precious metals. The preparative strategy used in this work could be applied to devise new electrocatalysts.

In this work, a mesoporous silica microsphere (MSM) was selected as a support to prepare a bimetallic supported catalyst (15% W–5% Ni/MSM) by a co-impregnation method that was simple and easy to conduct. We wished to improve the capability of catalytic conversion of biomass into ethylene glycol (EG) and 1,2-propylene glycol (1,2-PG). 15% W–5% Ni/MSM was examined on microcrystalline cellulose (cellulose) and corn stalks in a one-pot catalytic process, and total yields of EG and 1,2-PG reached up to 82.40 wt% and 62.60 wt%, respectively. This remarkable catalytic performance of W–Ni/MSM catalyst could be attributed to the synergistic effect between the active sites of Ni and W and the unique structure of MSM, which was suitable for mass transfer and metal loading. Based on physicochemical characterizations, the metal component was well-distributed on the surface of the MSM, and the metallic Ni, W and WO3 of the fresh catalyst were converted mainly into NiWO4 during the catalytic conversion of cellulose. To shed light on the reaction mechanism of the catalyzed hydrogenation of biomass, a possible process involving the formation of HxWO3 homogeneous catalysts, cellulose hydrolysis, C–C cleavage and hydrogenation conversion to 1,2-PG and EG was illustrated. Furthermore, the reusability of W–Ni/MSM catalyst was tested and we explored the cause of decreased diols yields. In summary, this work provides important guidance to rationally design effective catalysts for biomass conversion.

Graphical Take a Ni : NiO@Ni-P nanosheet arrays behave as efficient electrocatalyst benefiting from the synergistic effect between NiO and Ni-P. As a durable 3D catalytic electrode for oxygen evolution reaction, NiO@Ni-P/Ti exhibits a high activity achieving a geometrical catalytic current density of 10 mA cm −2 at an overpotential of 292 mV in 1.0 m KOH. Cost-effective and highly-efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction are crucial for electrolytic hydrogen production. Here, we report core–shell NiO@Ni-P nanosheet arrays as a high-performance 3D catalyst for water oxidation electrocatalysis. Such nanoarrays demand overpotentials of 292 and 350 mV to drive geometrical catalytic current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm −2 , respectively, with an activity superior to its NiO and Ni-P counterparts. Notably, this catalyst also shows a high long-term electrochemical durability with a Faradaic efficiency of 98.1 %. Density functional theory calculation reveals that the superior activity benefits from the synergistic effect between NiO and Ni-P.

Metal nanocatalysis is an effective method to enhance the hydrogen storage properties of magnesium hydride (MgH2), and the catalytic effect can be further improved by a matrix material supported nanometal. In this work, carbon supported nano-Ni (Ni@C) was synthesized by calcination of dimethylglyoxime dinickel chelate, and then it was doped into MgH2 to improve the de/rehydrogenation kinetics. This shows that the homogeneously distributed Ni with refined particle size in carbon base leads to superior catalytic effects on hydrogen absorption/desorption of MgH2-5 wt % Ni@C. The MgH2-5 wt % Ni@C starts to desorb hydrogen at 187 °C, which is 113 °C lower than that of as-milled MgH2. Moreover, it takes only 500 s to thoroughly desorb hydrogen at 300 °C, which is 3000 s faster than as-milled MgH2 under the same dehydrogenation conditions. According to the Kissinger’s method, the apparent activation energy for desorption of the MgH2-5 wt % Ni@C is 66.5 ± 1.8 kJ mol–1, which is about 79.9 kJ mol–1 lower than that of as-milled MgH2. Cycling experiments show that the capacity retentions of hydrogen absorption and desorption after 10 cycles at 275 °C are 91% and 93%, respectively. Transmission electron microscope analysis shows that part of Ni transformed to Mg2NiH4/Mg2Ni during hydrogen absorption/desorption cycles.

Facile fabrication of high-performance catalyst based on low-cost metals for sustainable hydrogen evolution is still a matter of cardinal significance. However, synthetic approaches for electrocatalyst are usually complicated and the yields are often low. Herein, we report a one-step simple method for the large-scale synthesis of Co/Ni-MoO 2 composite as efficient and stable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalyst to drive 10 mA cm −2 current density with a low overpotential of 103 mV in basic media. Co-MoO 2 and Ni-MoO 2 were also prepared using this method with overpotential of 137 and 130 mV, respectively, to gain the same current density. These results indicate that this facile synthesis approach is of great practical importance as it can be easily used for large-scale preparation of electrocatalysts in industry.

Rational synthesis and development of earth-abundant materials with efficient electrocatalytic activity and stability for water splitting is a critical but challenging step for sustainable energy application . Herein, a family of bimetal (CoFe, CoCu, CoNi) embedded nitrogen-doped carbon frameworks is developed through a facile and simple thermal conversion strategy of metal-doped zeolitic imidazolate frameworks. Thanks to collaborative superiorities of abundant M-N-C species, modulation action of secondary metal, cobalt-based electroactive phases, template effect of MOFs and unique porous structure , bimetal embedded nitrogen-doped carbon frameworks materials manifest good oxygen and hydrogen evolution catalytic activity . Especially, after modulating the species and molar ratio of metal sources, optimal Co 0.75 Fe 0.25 nitrogen-doped carbon framework catalyst just requires a low overpotential of 303 mV to achieve 10 mA cm −2 with a low Tafel slope (39.49 mV dec −1 ) for oxygen evolution reaction , which even surpasses that of commercial RuO 2 . In addition, the optimal catalyst can function as an efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting with satisfying activity and stability. This development offers an attractive direction for the rational design and fabrication of porous carbon materials for electrochemical energy applications.

A family of two-dimensional salen-type lanthanide complexes was synthesized through a facile solution diffusion method. The two-dimensional lanthanide complexes were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analytical techniques. The SCXRD and XPS analyses reveal that the obtained two-dimensional structures are rich in uncoordinated imine (−CH═N−) groups located on the skeleton of the salen-type organic ligand, which retain strong coordination ability with metal ions. On the basis of this unique feature, a highly dispersed CeO2-supported Ni catalyst (Ni/CeO2-CAS) with highly strong metal–support interaction was first synthesized via a coordination-assisted synthesis (CAS) method, which exhibits a much better catalytic activity in the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene than the traditional Ni/CeO2-IWI catalyst prepared by incipient wetness impregnation (IWI). The origin of the improved catalytic activity of Ni/CeO2-CAS as well as the role of Ni@Ce–H2salen was revealed by using diverse characterizations. On the basis of the comparative characterization results, the superior catalytic performance of Ni/CeO2-CAS to Ni/CeO2-IWI could have resulted from the smaller and highly dispersed Ni nanoparticulates, the intensified Ni–CeO2 interaction, the enhanced NiO reducibility, and the higher concentration of oxygen vacancies, favoring the H2 dissociation and adsorption of the nitrobenzene reactant. The Ni/CeO2-CAS catalyst also exhibits high catalytic performance for reduction of diverse nitroarenes to their corresponding functionalized arylamines. We anticipated that this coordination-assisted strategy may provide a new way for preparing other highly oxide-supported catalysts with potential applications in various catalytic reactions.

The mechanism of Li–O2 batteries is based on the reactions of lithium ions and oxygen, which hold a theoretical higher energy density of approximately 3500 W h kg−1. In order to improve the practical specific capacity and cycling performance of Li–O2 batteries, a catalytically active mechanically robust air cathode is required. In this work, we synthesized a freestanding catalytic cathode with RuO2 decorated 3D web Co3O4 nanowires on nickel foam. When the specific capacity was limited at 500 mA h g−1, the RuO2–Co3O4/NiF had a stable cycling life of up to 122 times. The outstanding performance can be primarily attributed to the robust freestanding Co3O4 nanowires with RuO2 loading. The unique 3D web nanowire structure provides a large surface for Li2O2 growth and RuO2 nanoparticle loading, and the RuO2 nanoparticles help to promote the round trip deposition and decomposition of Li2O2, therefore enhancing the cycling behavior. This result indicates the superiority of RuO2–Co3O4/NiF as a freestanding highly efficient catalytic cathode for Li–O2 batteries.

The Ni-rich LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) cathode has attracted great interest owing to its low cost, high capacity, and energy density. Nevertheless, rapid capacity fading is a critical problem because of direct contact of NCM811 with electrolytes and hence restrains its wide applications. To prevent the direct contact, the surface inert layer coating becomes a feasible strategy to tackle this problem. However, to achieve a homogeneous surface coating is very challenging. Considering the bonding effect between NCM811, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and polyaniline (PANI), in this work, we use PVP as an inductive agent to controllably coat a uniform conductive PANI layer on NCM811 (NCM811@PANI–PVP). The coated PANI layer not only serves as a rapid channel for electron conduction, but also prohibits direct contact of the electrode with the electrolyte to effectively hinder side reaction. NCM811@PANI–PVP thus exhibits excellent cyclability (88.7% after 100 cycles at 200 mA g–1) and great rate performance (152 mA h g–1 at 1000 mA g–1). In situ X-ray diffraction and in situ Raman are performed to investigate the charge–discharge mechanism and the cyclability of NCM811@PANI–PVP upon electrochemical reaction. This surfactant-modulated surface uniform coating strategy offers a new modification approach to stabilize Ni-rich cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
