Further enhancing the electrocatalytic performance of transition metal sulfides for oxygen evolution and oxygen reduction reactions (OER and ORR) is crucial for the development of high-efficiency electrochemical energy devices. Here, the highly efficient iron-doped nickel sulfide/cobalt sulfide heterostructure catalyst (Fe-NiS 2 /CoS 2 ) was successfully prepared via a combination of hydrothermal-sulfidation-reduction strategy. Physical characterizations coupled with electrochemical tests reveal that Fe doping plays a key role in the excellent performance of Fe-NiS 2 /CoS 2 by lowering charge transfer resistance, optimizing electronic structure, and promoting reaction kinetics synergistically. As a result, the Fe-NiS 2 /CoS 2 catalyst exhibits a bifunctional electrocatalytic reactivity with a low ΔE of 0.61 V, surpassing noble-metal-based catalyst and most of the reported iron-related sulfide bifunctional catalysts. Specifically, the catalyst exhibits low overpotentials of 265 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and 381 mV at 100 mA cm −2 for the OER, while maintaining an ORR E 1/2 of 0.88 V. Aqueous zinc-air battery (ZAB) based on Fe-NiS 2 /CoS 2 achieve the specific capacities of 678.5 mAh g Zn −1 and along with 200 h cycling stability. This work provides an effective approach to improving transition metal sulfides, with potential for broader application in OER/ORR-related energy technologies.

The sustainable production of carbamates from biomass-derived molecules provides a viable alternative to petrochemical-based production routes. In this work, we reported an efficient catalytic strategy for synthesizing bio-based furfurylmethyl carbamate (FMC) through methoxycarbonylation of furfurylamine with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) under mild conditions. A novel Pb-Ni composite oxide catalyst with high activity and stability was developed, which significantly outperformed conventional monometallic oxide catalysts. Comprehensive characterization revealed that the synergistic interaction between Pb and Ni species constructed composite oxide nanoparticles (about 11.4 nm), with Pb species highly dispersed on the NiO matrix. Consequently, highly defective structure, abundant acid-base dual sites, and a high specific surface area were concurrently formed, which were identified as critical factors for activating both nucleophilic and electrophilic reactants. Significantly, appreciable quantities of furfuryl isocyanate were detected, demonstrating the feasibility of a one-pot cascade synthesis of bio-based isocyanates from amines and DMC.

In this study, Mn-Ni-layered double hydroxides (Mn-Ni-LDHs) were synthesized and utilized to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for degrading reactive brilliant blue KN-R (KN-R) in aqueous solutions. The characterization results demonstrate that the catalysts synthesized are layered structures, and the surface area is 169.3 m 2 /g. The Mn-Ni-LDHs exhibited significant efficiency effective for the degradation of KN-R via activating PMS, achieving 96.5% degradation of KN-R within 90 min under optimal conditions (0.20 g/L catalyst, 10 mM PMS, pH=10.0 and 25°C). The reaction followed pseudo-first-order kinetics with a rate constant of 0.0351 min -1 , and the apparent activation energy was calculated to be 11.94 kJ/mol. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and free radical scavenging experiments identified ·O 2 − and 1 O 2 as the primary reactive species involved in the reaction for KN-R degradation. The proposed catalytic mechanism suggests that redox cycling between Mn 4+ /Mn 3+ and Ni 3+ /Ni 2+ within Mn-Ni-LDHs plays a critical role in enhancing PMS activation, thereby promoting the continuous generation of active oxygen species.

12H-NECZ (dodecahydro-N-ethylcarbazole), a promising liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) with high H 2 capacity, stability, and low dehydrogenation temperature, requires efficient low-cost dehydrogenation catalysts for industrial-scale application. In this work, NiCuAl-LDH-R (hydrotalcite-derived NiCu bimetallic catalyst) with rosette-like two-dimensional structures and highly dispersed NiCu alloys are prepared for the dehydrogenation reaction of 12H-NECZ. The addition of Cu to NiAl-LDH-R can significantly reduce the reaction temperature while achieving rapid dehydrogenation. Among the NiCuAl-LDH-R catalysts, the Ni 7 CuAl-LDH-R exhibited the highest dehydrogenation performance with 100 % dehydrogenation efficiency and 100 % selectivity of NECZ at 180 °C within 4h (12H-NECZ/catalyst mass ratio = 15:1). The electronic and geometric effects of Ni and Cu, excellent dispersion of NiCu alloy, strong metal carrier interaction between NiCu alloy and AlOx, as well as the rich alkalinity synergistically contributes to the catalyst's exceptional dehydrogenation activity. The cost-effective nonprecious catalyst, with tunable morphology/composition and excellent performance, shows great potential for 12H-NECZ dehydrogenation applications.

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.

We engineered a NiSe/Ni₃Se₂ heterostructure on nickel foam that activates formic acid for rapid hexavalent chromium detoxification. We used one-step hydrothermal growth and probed structure and mechanism by diffraction and spectroscopy, electron microscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide, and batch and fixed-bed tests. The optimized catalyst removed 99.7% of 50 mg L⁻¹ hexavalent chromium in 40 minutes at 25 °C, achieved full removal of 1 mg L⁻¹ in 20 minutes, tolerated common ions, and maintained 100% removal for 180 h in continuous flow. Mechanistic analyses show a radical pathway dominated by hydrogen radicals (H ⁎ ) and carbon dioxide radical anions ( C O 2 • − ), promoted by selenium vacancies and tightly coupled nickel selenide interfaces that accelerate formic-acid activation and interfacial charge transfer. Operating without external energy input, this monolithic architecture avoids powder recovery and minimizes pressure drop and cost, offering a general route to defect-engineered selenides for efficient, low-cost environmental redox remediation.

Photocatalytic CO 2 reduction using atomically dispersed catalysts holds significant potential for addressing global energy and environmental challenges. However, the influence of d–d orbital interactions between metal centers and coordinated atoms remains underexplored. Herein, nickel phthalocyanine is anchored to the metal-exposed crystal face of TiO 2 , forming Ti–Ni–N 4 coordination. This configuration reveals that the axially coordinated Ti atoms serve as a novel electron channel with electron-donating ability, transferring electrons to the Ni center through d–d coupling. It is found that the dynamic adjustment of bond lengths and d-band centers in Ti–Ni bonding during CO 2 photoreduction process can effectively modulate the adsorption strengths of the Ni center for different intermediates. This leads to a significant enhancement in the photocatalytic performance for CO 2 reduction to CO without a sacrificial reagent, achieving an exceptional CO evolution rate of 378.5 μmol g −1 . Furthermore, the d–d coupling mediated by Ti–Ni–N 4 coordination increases the vacancy formation energy of active sites, preventing the leaching of Ni active centers. This study provides a strategy for the precise design of d–d orbital regulation and resistance to demetallization in photocatalysts for efficient CO 2 conversion. Graphic abstract

Conversion of CO 2 and CH 4 into syngas offers a promising route to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, which facilitates large-scale carbon fixation and boosts carbon-neutral goal. The main obstacle for CO 2 /CH 4 reforming is the lack of durable catalysts showing both high metal-exposure and high-temperature structure stability, since the reported Ni-based catalysts have difficulty in avoiding deactivation by sintering metal at high temperature. Herein, ultra-small Ni nanoparticles, which display multiple characteristics of high surface-exposure and stabilized structure, are constructed from the evolution of atomically dispersed low-valent nickel under a dually confined microenvironment. Consequently, the developed strategy can not only break the stable-exposure trade-off in heterogeneous catalysis but also provide new opportunity for the engineering of high-performance and sintering-resistant reforming catalysts as well as other durable heterogeneous catalysts.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has emerged as a powerful analytical tool for trace molecular detection, enabling identification of target analytes through their characteristic vibrational fingerprints. Its high sensitivity, selectivity, and non-destructive detection capabilities make it extremely valuable in fields such as biological detection, food safety, and environmental detection. Currently, metal carbonitride (MXene) as an emerging two-dimensional material has become a hot topic in the field of SERS. In this work, by combining the advantages of bimetallic nanoparticles and MXene nanosheets, Ni/Ag nanoparticles with different proportions were modified on monolayer MXene nanosheets through chemical reduction and transmetallation reactions for the rapid detection of thiram. The evaluation of the SERS performance of the MXene–Ni/Ag composite substrate for the Raman reporter molecule mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA) demonstrates a high SERS performance factor (SPF) of 8.2 × 106, and a low detection limit of 10−10 M. Also, for the detection of the pesticide thiram, the substrate exhibits high sensitivity and reliable quantitative analysis capabilities, retaining detectable spectral features even at concentrations down to 10−9 M. Meanwhile, the substrate also exhibits a low relative standard deviation (RSD) value in reproducibility and maintains good stability over a certain period. Ni/Ag bimetallic nanoparticles provide high SERS activity, while MXene nanosheets effectively concentrate target molecules through their strong adsorption capacity. These results indicate that MXene–Ni/Ag composite substrates can serve as a highly effective SERS platform for sensitive and reliable environmental monitoring.

Non-extra-artificial destructive detection of trace residual detached wall painting pigments is an important prerequisite for wall paintings restoration work. As the amount available for detection of artifacts is relatively small, the relevant information must be derived through microanalysis. To this end, the trace molecules can be concentrated and enriched for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In this work, the ZIF-67 was Ni 2 + -acid etched into Co–Ni layered double hydroxide (LDH) hollow nanocages. After introducing Au nanoparticles (NPs), Au NPs@Co–Ni LDH core–shell structured composites with a very low detection limit for RhB (10 –10 mol L −1 ) were formed. The composites were applied to non-extra-artificial destructive detection of green, red, and blue trace mural mineral pigments, in which the main components were identified as chlorocopperite, vermilion and ultramarine, respectively. This result proves the universality of the composites to mural pigments of different types in different regions. Experimental data and finite element simulation results show that the etching treatment endowed the SERS substrate materials with a concentration effect, which led to more molecules of the substances to be measured aggregating around the Au NPs, enhanced the detection signals of the molecules, and achieved the concentration in the plasmonic field, which in turn improved their adsorption capacity and enrichment function of the target molecules. This work realizes the innovative application of the concentration effect in the SERS detection of ancient mural pigments, which is important for the analysis, identification, and restoration of mural paintings and other cultural relics.

Hydrogenation of xylose is an important industrial process for the production of xylitol, which is known as a healthy sweetener. In this work, bimetallic phyllosilicate-derived Cu–Ni alloy catalysts were constructed via an ammonia evaporation method followed by reduction under hydrogen and applied for the hydrogenation of a high-concentration xylose aqueous solution for the production of xylitol. The Cu–Ni alloy catalysts exhibited higher xylose conversion than the corresponding monometallic Cu and Ni catalyst. And the xylitol yield was increased with the increase of the ratio of nickel to copper for the bimetallic alloy catalyst. The higher xylose conversion was obtained at elevated reaction temperature and H2 pressure. In addition, reduction conditions, especially temperature, were found to significantly influence the catalytic activity of the phyllosilicate-derived Cu–Ni alloy sample. The 5Cu15Ni-EA catalyst activated at 700 °C exhibited excellent performance for xylose hydrogenation in terms of xylose conversion (>99%) and xylitol selectivity (>99%) under moderate conditions (100 °C and 4 MPa H2). The performance of the 5Cu15Ni-EA catalyst is also superior to the reported consequences of xylitol manufacture via hydrogenation over a Raney nickel catalyst and a co-impregnation-derived bimetallic catalyst. Furthermore, the xylitol yield did not change obviously for 5Cu15Ni-EA during the 200 h of continuous reaction in a fixed bed reactor. The XRD, XPS, HRTEM–EDS mapping, and line scan results of the fresh reduced 5Cu15Ni-EA sample verified the existence of a highly dispersed Cu–Ni alloy. The formation of these uniformly dispersed Cu–Ni alloy sites induced efficient performance for the hydrogenation of a high-concentration xylose aqueous solution.

The development of non-noble metal catalysts for gas-phase propylene epoxidation with H2/O2remains challenging due to their inadequate activity and stability. Herein, we report a Cs+-modified Ni/TS-1 catalyst (9%Ni-Cs/TS-1), which exhibits unprecedented catalytic performance, giving a state-of-the-art PO formation rate of 382.9 gPO·kgcat−1·h−1with 87.8% selectivity at 200 °C. The catalyst stability was sustainable for 150 h, far surpassing reported Ni-based catalysts. Ni/TS-1 exhibited low catalytic activity. However, the Cs modification significantly enhanced the performance of Ni/TS-1. Furthermore, the intrinsic reason for the enhanced performance was elucidated by multiple techniques such as XPS, N2physisorption, TEM,29Si NMR, NH3-TPD-MS, UV–vis, and so on. The findings indicated that the incorporation of Cs+markedly boosted the reduction of Ni, enhanced Ni0formation, strengthened Ni-Ti interactions, reduced acid sites to inhibit PO isomerization, improved the dispersion of Ni nanoparticles, reduced particle size, and improved the hydrophobicity of Ni/TS-1 to facilitate propylene adsorption/PO desorption. The 9%Ni-Cs/TS-1 catalyst demonstrated exceptional performance characterized by a low cost, high activity, and long-term stability, offering a viable alternative to Au-based systems.
