In this study, vanadium carbide (VC) was used as the raw material to synthesize PDA-functionalized VC (P-VC). VC and P-VC were added as nanoreinforced materials to the Ni–W–B coating. The effects of the two nanomaterials on the morphology, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of the Ni–W–B coatings were investigated and compared. The experimental results show that the surface of the Ni–W–B/P-VC coating is denser and more uniform than that of the Ni–W–B and Ni–W–B/VC coatings, and there are no obvious defects on the surface. According to the hardness test, the Ni–W–B/P-VC coating reaches the highest microhardness of 887.1 HV. According to the friction and wear tests, the Ni–W–B/P-VC coating has the shallowest scratches, the lowest average friction coefficient (COF = 0.274), and the lowest wear rate (9.578 × 10–8 mm2/N). The corrosion resistance is the best, the corrosion rate is 0.0456 mm/y, and the impedance value Rt reaches 14,501 Ω·cm2.

Nickel-rich layered oxide with high reversible capacity and high working potentials is a prevailing cathode for high-energy-density all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). However, compared to the liquid battery system, ASSLBs suffer from poor Li-ion migration kinetics, severe side reactions, and undesired formation of space charge layers, which result in restricted capacity release and limited rate capability. In this work, we reveal that the capacity loss lies in the H2–H3 phase transition period, and we propose that the inconsistent interfacial Li-ion migration is the arch-criminal. We introduce Si doping to stabilize the bulk structure and Li4SiO4 fast ionic conductor coating to regulate the interfacial behaviors between the Ni-rich cathode and sulfide-based solid electrolyte Li6PS5Cl. The modified NCM@LSO-2||LPSCl||Li–In ASSLBs deliver a high reversible capacity of 183.5 mA h g–1 at 0.1C, 30.3% higher than the bare NCM811 electrode. Besides, the interfacial regulation strategy enables the operation at a high rate of 5.0C and achieves a high capacity retention ratio of ∼85.8% after 500 cycles at 1.0C. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms are well investigated through kinetic analyses and theoretical simulations. This work provides an in-depth understanding on the interfacial degradations between Ni-rich cathodes and sulfide-based all-solid-state electrolytes from the view of kinetic limitations and offers potential solutions.

At present, Ni-based coatings are rarely used in the field of voltage control friction because of their poor antifriction, wear resistance, and conductive properties. Therefore, in this paper, Cu-BTC@Ag nanocrystals were used to enhance the nickel coatings, and the effect of voltage on their tribological properties was also investigated. It was found that the grains of coating were refined via the addition of Cu-BTC@Ag nanocrystals, leading to an improvement in the hardness and corrosion resistance of this composite coating. The tribological performance of nickel composite coating could be controlled under different electrical fields. With the comparison of the pure Ni-based coating, the average friction coefficient and wear volume of its composite coating with 5 wt % Cu-BTC@Ag were reduced by 7.0 and 91.8%, respectively, which showed excellent wear resistance without an applied voltage. Under the condition of 20 V, the 5 wt % Cu-BTC@Ag/Ni-based composite coating owned outstanding antifriction performance. Therefore, Cu-BTC@Ag played an intelligent role in regulating the friction of Ni-based coatings under an external voltage. It is due to the accumulation of Cu-BTC@Ag nanocrystals on the surface of the coating under the action of voltage, which played the role of supporting load and effectively reducing wear.

Researchers are exploring high-performance electromagnetic wave absorbing materials to mitigate electromagnetic interference, focusing on minimizing surface reflection and enhancing attenuation capability. However, one single component and structure struggle to meet the aforementioned requirements. Here, a Ni/NiO/SiO 2 @porous carbon network (Ni/NiO/SiO 2 @PCN) with porous structures is synthesized via a pyrolysis process. The magnetic Ni/NiO and dielectric SiO 2 nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed within the PCN matrix. The absorption capability of the material can be controlled by adjusting the SiO 2 content in Ni/NiO/SiO 2 @PCN. Particularly, when the SiO 2 loading is 0.5 wt%, the resulting Ni/NiO/SiO 2 @PCN-0.05 demonstrates outstanding EMW absorption properties, exhibiting strong broadband absorption attributed to its 3D porous architectures, the hybrid composition of Ni/C, NiO/C, and SiO 2 /C, and good impedance matching. At a filler loading of 20 wt%, the Ni/NiO/SiO 2 @PCN-0.05 achieves remarkable EMW absorption performance, with a minimal reflection loss reaching −71.42 dB at 2.6 mm and 11.18 GHz, and an effective absorption band extending over 6.24 GHz within the frequency range of 11.52 to 18.0 GHz at a thickness of 2.25 mm, effectively covering the entire K u band. This study introduces a cost-effective and efficient fabrication approach for producing high-performance microwave absorbers, thereby offering promising prospects for applications in the field of microwave telecommunications.

High-efficiency removal of macromolecular aromatic sulfide from fuel via adsorption technology remains a challenge due to the limited mass-transfer efficiency in traditional microporous materials. Constructing hierarchically porous structure might be an alternative route to overcome the problem. Herein, we propose an approach to prepare rationally defective Nickel(II) 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalate (CPO-27-Ni) using benzoic acid (BA) and 2, 5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid (DHTA) as mixed ligands, aiming at reducing the diffusion resistance of molecules in adsorbents through introducing mesopores and thus enhancing the performance of aromatic sulfide removal. By adjusting the ratio of BA and DHTA ( x ), CPO-27-Ni (BA-C- x ) with rational defects was successfully synthesized. Compared with the single-channel CPO-27-Ni, the penetrating sulfur capacity in the dynamic adsorption experiment was increased by 9.97 times for thiophene (TP), 7.25 times for benzothiophene (BT) and 2.81 times for dibenzothiophene (DBT). After the addition of organic ligand B, additional mesoporous pores were formed in the microporous CPO-27-Ni. The obtained hierarchical structure possessed better textural properties and ensured structural constancy, which improved the utilization rate of high active sites and mass transfer rate of adsorbent, leading to promoted desulfurization performance. The reported method of introducing mesopores into MOFs to construct hierarchically porous structures would provide a meaningful reference for facile preparation of high-efficiency desulfurization adsorbents.

M−Mo−N (M = Co, Ni) bimetallic nitrides, known for their distinctive mechanical, magnetic and electrical properties, hold significant potential as microwave absorption (MA) materials. However, it remains challenge to obtain high-performance microwave absorbers from these bimetallic nitrides. In this work, the rod-like MoO 2 /Co 2 Mo 3 N/Co 3 Mo 3 N/Ni 3 Mo 3 N (MoCoNi) composites consisting of connected nanoparticles are fabricated in situ. The plentiful interfaces between the connected nanoparticles and between the different components effectively enhance the interfacial polarization, the rod-like structure benefits to conduction loss, and crystal defects facilitate strong dipole polarization. Therefore, MoCoNi composites achieve outstanding absorption properties with the reflection loss of −55.69 dB at 8.08 GHz and the effective absorption bandwidth of 6.48 GHz (11.36–17.84 GHz) at 2.4 mm. The actual MA performance of MoCoNi composites is verified through radar cross section simulation. This study proposes a novel approach for the utilizing of M−Mo−N (M = Co, Ni) bimetallic nitrides in microwave absorptions.

Tetracycline (TC) is extensively employed as a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent, and its byproducts have been identified in a variety of water bodies, posing a significant risk to both aquatic ecosystems and human health. Among the prevalent techniques for treating water contaminants, photodegradation stands out. In this research, we synthesized a novel nanocomposite material, embedding bimetallic nanoparticles onto halloysite nanotubes (HNT) (Pd@Ni/N-HNT), aimed at photocatalytically degrading TC. The Pd@Ni/N-HNT demonstrated the capability to enhance the TC degradation efficiency to 100 % under visible light for a duration of 120 min, effectively doubling the performance of pure H 2 O 2 degradation. The influence of pH levels in aquatic environments on the TC degradation efficiency was explored. Through electron spin resonance (EPR) studies and free radical scavenging tests, it was verified that •O 2 − and h + are pivotal in the degradation process. Furthermore, Pd@Ni/N-HNT showcased effective degradation capabilities in both tap and river water, achieving degradation rates exceeding 70 % in 120 min and 95 % in 180 min, respectively. This investigation not only sheds light on the potential of utilizing Pd@Ni/N-HNT as a potent catalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of TC but also offers a comprehensive framework for the future development of nanomaterials aimed at the environmental remediation of organic pollutants. The findings herein provide a pivotal reference and guide for advancing the application of nanotechnology in the purification of water, thereby contributing to the safeguarding of aquatic ecosystems and public health.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is ubiquitous in industrial production and daily life. However, BPA is harmful to the health of fetuses and children due to its potential endocrine-disrupting effects. Hydrogenated bisphenol A (HBPA), an alicyclic diol generated from hydrogenating the double bonds of two benzene rings in the BPA molecule, is supposed to be a perfect substitute for BPA due to its stability and non-toxicity. Nevertheless, the rational design of high-performance catalysts for selectively converting BPA into HBPA remains a significant challenge. In this work, highly dispersed Ru immobilized by Al2O3 modified with Ni promoter (Ru/Ni-Al2O3) have been constructed, enabling BPA selective hydrogenation to produce HBPA under mild conditions. The doping of Ni promoter around Ru active sites effectively regulated the selectivity of target reaction. Both characterization and experimental results validated that the Ni promoter manipulated the electronic state of Ru through strong electron interaction between Ni and Ru, and thus the catalytic performance. In addition, the catalytic performance was also dependent on other reaction parameters such as H2 pressure, reaction temperature, liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV), and hydrogen-oil volume ratio. The optimized Ru/0.1Ni-Al2O3 catalyst achieved a BPA conversion of 100% and an HBPA selectivity of 96.4% under optimal reaction conditions (6 MPa H2, 140 oC, 0.42 h-1 LHSV, and 1500:1 hydrogen-oil volume ratio).

The catalytic performance of bifunctional catalyst for one-step hydrodeoxygenation of fatty acid esters to bio-jet fuel is contingent upon the features of metal component and acid support. However, it remains challenging to simultaneously modulate these structural features with the impregnation method. Herein, the metal particle size, pore structures and acidity of Ni/Beta catalysts are regulated simultaneously during the citric acid-assisted impregnation process. The particle size of Ni over the Ni/Beta catalyst is greatly decreased due to the steric and coordination effect of citric acid on metal. The electron density of the small Ni particle is reduced by the enhanced electron transfer between Ni and Beta. Besides, the dealumination effect of citric acid on Beta zeolite reduces strong Brønsted acid sites and introduces 0.85 times more mesopores into the Ni/Beta catalyst, compared with the counterpart obtained by conventional impregnation method. The enhanced metal dispersion over the Ni/Beta catalyst promote hydrodeoxygenation of reactants and favor hydrodecarbonylation reaction path. The reduced Brønsted acid sites and abundant mesopores inhibit cracking of intermediate and products. The space–time yield of C 12 and C 11 reaches 33.4 mmol·g −1 ·h −1 in hydrodeoxygenation of methyl laurate which is the highest value reported.

Searching for highly efficient electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is principal to the development electrolytic water production industry. Experimental screening of highly active electrocatalysts is time-consuming and complicated. In this work, an Artificial Neural Network model is proposed to accelerate the screening for Ag(M) catalysts (M = Al, Si, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, In, Sn, Sb, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au and Hg), which is used to predict the Gibbs free energy of hydrogen. The Ag(Ni) catalyst is identified as a potential electrocatalyst with the nearly ideal (ΔG H ), which affords the relatively low overpotentials of 159 mV for HER at 10 mA cm −2 . According to the prediction of our ANN model, we synthesized Ag(Mn), Ag(Co), and Ag(Cu) catalysts. The Ag(Ni) catalyst exhibits the best HER activity, which is 120 mV smaller than Ag(Mn), Ag(Co), and Ag(Cu) catalysts. The incorporation of Ni effectively optimizes the electronic environment of the materials, which drives the upshift of d-band center and drastically reduces the Gibbs free energy of hydrogen (ΔG H ). Our method is significantly more efficient, running 1184 times faster than the traditional DFT method. Our work paves an efficient way to design and develop potential HER catalysts.

The lack of detailed functions of different REMs in NH 3 decomposition to H 2 makes the efficient modified catalysts not rationally be designed though many REMs-modified catalysts have been reported. In this work, the 10Ni/A 1 Mg 4 O α (A = La, Ce, and Y) and 10Ni/MgO, in which supports were synthesized by the sol–gel method and Ni was loaded by the wet-impregnate method, were comparatively investigated to reveal the effect of REMs against NH 3 decomposition reaction. The presence of REMs enhanced the activity of 10Ni/A 1 Mg 4 O α and decreased the activation energy as greatly as by half compared to 10Ni/MgO. The produced H 2 in situ has little impact on the activity of 10Ni/A 1 Mg 4 O α , among which Ce has the most excellent H 2 desorption ability. The intrinsic activity of catalysts was improved better by Ce and Y than La and the best Ni particle size is around 6 nm according to TOF, though the Ni particle is the smallest (4.9 nm) in 10Ni/La 1 Mg 4 O α . The surface structure of catalysts was tuned by doping REMs, forming a solid solution and some defects (oxygen vacancies), which enhanced the interaction between active metal and support with obvious electron transfer from support to Ni obtaining a better Ni dispersion and making NiO easier to be reduced. Additionally, the catalysts doped by La or Ce possess more oxygen vacancy due to the changes of La 2 O 2 CO 3 and the valence of Ce, exhibiting stronger basic sites and better N 2 desorption capacity. The study offers a promising strategy for utilizing appropriate or multiple REMs to synthesize effective catalysts effectively for catalyzing NH 3 decomposition in the future.

Cocatalysts play a pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency of photocatalytic water splitting. In this study, we introduced a novel and straightforward pre-impregnation strategy to anchor a CuNi dual cocatalyst onto the surface of Al-doped SrTiO 3 (Al-STO), coupled with photodeposition. This approach led to a remarkable 11.07-fold (77.5 µmol/h) increase in hydrogen evolution performance compared to the conventional photodeposition method for decorating with CuNi dual cocatalysts. Not only that, after the 18 h cycle experiment, the catalyst still maintains high activity and high stability similar to that of precious metals, which overcomes the defects of poor stability and short life of non-precious metals. This strategy capitalizes on the pre-adsorption of cocatalyst precursor ions on the Al-STO support via impregnation, enhancing both the adsorption energy and capacity between the precursor ions and the active sites. Detailed characterizations have revealed a strong electronic interaction within the Cu-Ni structure and improved interfacial coupling between CuNi and Al-STO. This not only significantly promotes charge separation and transfer but also provides a plethora of active sites for the photocatalytic generation of H 2 . Moreover, extensive theoretical calculations have provided deep insights into the reaction mechanism of the CuNi system and elucidated the reasons behind the varying degrees of activity enhancement across different cocatalyst architectural systems.
