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.

In situ methanol steam reforming for hydrogen production is a promising technology to provide a hydrogen source for full cells. However, the conventional methanol steam reforming usually encounters catalyst inefficiency and instability, which make its industrial application difficult. This work proposes a novel and stable Ni-based catalyst supported by spongy mesoporous alumina and achieves an enhancement of hydrogen production. The prepared Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalyst exhibits a higher hydrogen production yield of 0.26 mol h−1 than the commercial Ni/γ-Al2O3-Com catalyst (0.21 mol h−1) at 450 °C, with an improvement of the hydrogen flow rate of 23.8%. The Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalyst also presents a much superior performance to the reported noble metal-based catalysts and Ni-based catalysts. The special spongy mesoporous structure provides favorable conditions for high catalytic activity, mainly based on the high dispersion of the Ni metal site and the high catalyst stability. The Ni metal particles are highly dispersed over spongy mesoporous Al2O3 with an average particle size of only 3.7 nm. Characterization analysis shows that the spongy mesoporous structure of the catalyst enables quick adsorption of the reactants and reaction intermediates, and the highly dispersed Ni metal site can lead to the rapid dehydrogenation of methanol to increase the hydrogen yield. Moreover, the stability of the prepared Ni/γ-Al2O3-5H catalyst is much superior to that of the commercial Ni/γ-Al2O3-Com catalyst, where Ni/γ-Al2O3-5H retained 100% of methanol conversion for 12 h, and the spongy mesoporous structure and the high dispersion of Ni particles were also well maintained. In addition, the reaction mechanism of methanol steam reforming over the Ni/γ-Al2O3-5H catalyst is revealed in detail, especially based on the in situ DRIFTS characterization results. This research provides valuable insights for the development of catalytic methanol steam reforming for hydrogen production and in the field of green chemistry.

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.

Developing cost-effective monolith catalyst with superior low-temperature activity is critical for oxidative efficacious removal of industrial volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, the complexity of the industrial flue gas conditions demands the need for high moisture tolerance, which is challenging. Herein, CoMn–Metal Organic Framework (CoMn–MOF) was in situ grown on Ni foam (NiF) at room temperature to synthesize the cost-effective monolith catalyst. The optimized catalyst, Co1Mn1/NiF, exhibited excellent performance in toluene oxidation ( T 90 = 239 °C) due to the substitution of manganese into the cobalt lattice. This substitution weakened the Co–O bond strength, creating more oxygen vacancies and increasing the active oxygen species content. Additionally, experimentally and computationally evidence revealed that the mutual inhibiting effect of three typical aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene and m–xylene) over the Co1Mn1/NiF catalyst was attributed to the competitive adsorption occurring on the active site. Furthermore, the Co1Mn1/NiF catalyst also presents outstanding water resistance, particularly at a concentration of 3 vol%, where the activity is even enhanced. This was attributed to the lower water adsorption and dissociation energy derived from the interaction between the bimetals. Results demonstrate that the dissociation of water vapor enables more reactive oxygen species to participate in the reaction which reduces the formation of intermediates and facilitates the reaction. This investigation provides new insights into the preparation of oxygen vacancy–rich monolith catalysts with high water resistance for practical applications.

In this study, a pulsed electrodeposition approach was used to create a Ni-Cu/ZrB 2 composite coating on the surface of J55 steel. Ni-Cu/ZrB 2 composite coatings with different material additions were prepared, and the surface morphology, grain size, microhardness and wear and corrosion resistance were investigated. The results confirmed that the embedding of ZrB 2 in the Ni-Cu coating can refine the grains and make the coating surface denser. Furthermore, ZrB 2 can effectively increase the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating; the Ni-Cu/ZrB 2 (1.0 g/L) composite coating reflects this by having the shallowest and narrowest wear cross-section as well as the lowest average friction coefficient (0.537). Additionally, the composite coating has the highest impedance modulus, reaching 83.60 kΩ/cm 2 . The composite coating improved corrosion resistance by 63.1 % compared to the pure sample. The enhancement in the coating's corrosion resistance can be attributed to three factors. Firstly, the addition of zirconium diborate refines the coating grain and changes the corrosion type from pitting corrosion to homogeneous corrosion. Secondly, zirconium diborate forms a physical barrier against corrosive ions. Lastly, the formation of the oxide layer on the coating during the process of corrosion, also enhances the material's resistance to corrosion.

Chemical upcycling through catalytic hydrocracking to fuels has potential to mitigate the serious environmental issues caused by plastic waste. Herein, non-noble tungstate-zirconia supported nickel catalyst (Ni/WO x -ZrO 2 ) with tunable Brønsted/Lewis (B/L) ratio was firstly proposed for the hydrocracking of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), which achieves hydrogenation/dehydrogenation on Ni sites and cracking/isomerization on WO x -ZrO 2 , respectively. Excellent 100 % LDPE conversion with 76.9 % liquid yield was achieved, which is comparable to noble Ru-based and Pt-based catalysts. Quantitative linear relationship between B/L ratio and hydrocracking performance was established, and the key to boost performance was keenly controlling the volcanic-shape relationship between surface WO x density and B/L ratio of catalyst. Moderate WO x surface density with higher B/L ratio enhances LDPE hydrocracking, and inhibits the hydrogenation of the primary products. However, excessive WO x polymerized and formed WO 3 crystals, compensating acid sites and inhibiting LDPE hydrocracking. This work is of prime scientific and industrial significance to the rational design of catalysts for industrial plastic hydrocracking.

Photothermal catalytic CO 2 reduction can combine photocatalysis and thermal catalysis by using full-spectrum solar energy to convert CO 2 into high value-added chemicals. This can effectively alleviate the problems of excessive CO 2 emissions and thermal catalytic energy waste. In this paper, a novel catalyst was prepared using Ce-MOF as a precursor to generate Cu/Ni/CeO 2 for efficient reduction of CO 2 to CO by hydrogenation. Due to the rod-like structure of CeO 2 and the high dispersion of Cu and Ni nanoparticles, 10%Cu 5%Ni CeO 2 can achieve a catalytic activity of 54.21 mmol g −1 h −1 in the full solar spectrum. The supported Cu and Ni metals are the active sites for catalytic reduction. Meanwhile, Cu and Ni enhanced the light absorption ability of the catalyst and the surface temperature under illumination. This is due to the hot charge carriers generated by LSPR effect in Ni and Cu metal nanoparticles, which can dissipate energy through local heating, thus increasing the temperature of the catalyst under illumination. It can be found that the CO 2 reduction activity of photo-assisted thermocatalysis is higher than that of thermal catalysis under the same conditions. Therefore, the combined effect of the electrons generated by UV–Vis light and the heating effect of near-infrared light on catalyst could improve the catalytic activity. This work might provide a potential strategy for efficient photothermal reduction of CO 2 in the future.

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.

The extensive application of doxycycline hydrochloride (DOX) in cultivation industry concerns regarding its potential ecological ramifications. Electrocatalysis has emerged as a safe and efficient method for antibiotic removal from water. In this study, Ni/MWCNTs-COOH/Ti composite electrodes were prepared using anodic oxidation and constant-current electrodeposition techniques for the cathodic electrocatalytic degradation of DOX. The electrodes were characterized and evaluated using SEM, XRD , and XPS analysis . Under optimized conditions, 75.49 % of DOX was eliminated within 60 min with an energy consumption of 0.66 kWh/m 3 . Even after ten successive degradation cycles, the degradation rate of DOX remained at 70.78 %, confirming the exceptional stability of the electrodes. LC-MS analysis was employed to identify intermediates formed during the DOX degradation process. The results revealed that the hybrid orbital coordination structure formed by vacant d orbitals and d orbitals on the exoelectronic structure of Ni enhances catalytic activity and electrochemical stability. And the exposed reactive groups on the outer surface of MWCNTs-COOH, acting synergistically with Ni. Furthermore, the composite cathode generates reactive H ⁎ and the anode generates ·OH, resulting in a synergistic coupling that further enhances catalytic activity. This study presents a novel approach for addressing antibiotic contamination through environmental remediation.

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.

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).
