Structural degradation and surface chemical instability are dominant issues of Ni-rich layered cathodes, which trigger capacity fading and safety concerns, hindering the extensive application of Ni-rich cathodes toward high-energy, long-life lithium-ion batteries. Here, by combining trace Ta doping and an ultrathin Zr–Y mixed oxide coating, an integrated modification strategy significantly improves the cycling and thermal stability of Ni-rich LiNi0.88Co0.10Al0.02O2 (NCA) cathodes. The integrated modified Ni-rich cathode provides an unprecedented comprehensive performance with a high discharge capacity of 212.2 mA h g–1 at 0.1 C, an 88.6% cycling retention after 500 cycles at 1 C, and a high exothermic peak temperature of 261 °C compared with the pristine NCA cathode (67.4% capacity retention for 500 cycles and 221 °C for the exothermic peak). Further mechanism studies illustrate that a dual-structural surface constructed of a rock salt surface induced by Ta doping and ultrathin Zr–Y mixed oxide coating jointly suppresses surface side reactions between cathodes and electrolytes. Moreover, trace Ta doping in the bulk stabilizes the bulk structure and prevents mechanical cracks. This study highlights the importance of comprehensive modification of the bulk and surface for improving the electrochemical performance and provides a potential optimizing strategy for the commercialization of high-capacity Ni-rich cathode materials.

This work describes a facile approach for the delaminating of Ni–In-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) by the intercalation of acetate anions in the LDHs gallery using co-precipitation method. The acetate-intercalated Ni–In LDHs exhibited swelling behavior in water and delaminated into semitransparent suspensions on the action of water. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopic (AFM) observations revealed the formation of unilamellar LDHs nanosheets. This simple method did not need reflux at high temperatures, overcoming the deficiency of using organic solvents, resulting in a steady colloidal suspension of 2D nanosheets. The unique properties of 2D ultrathin nanosheets with full access to the positively charged activity sites make them attractive in terms of the improvement of DNA adsorption. The effect of dosage on the adsorption of DNA and the adsorption isotherm were investigated in detail. The equilibrium data were found to be well described by both the Langmuir and Freundlich models. Based on the mechanism of adsorption, the adsorption sites of exfoliated nanosheets can be easily occupied by highly negatively charged small anions through electrostatic interactions. The adsorbed DNA can be released via the addition of a hydrogen phosphate solution.

The exploration of flexible and lightweight electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials with excellent shielding effectiveness, as a means to effectively alleviate electromagnetic pollution, is still a tremendous challenge. This paper proposes a conducting material named the textured Ni-encapsulated carbon tube, which can be applied in EMI shielding material by being inserted in the center of a poly(dimethysiloxane) (PDMS) polymer. We demonstrated that Pd2+ could be absorbed by the active groups on the plant fiber surface to catalyze the reduction of Ni2+ as a catalytic center by means of a textured Ni-encapsulated plant fiber. Owing to the outstanding heat-conducting capability of the Ni coating, the inner plant fiber was carbonized and attached to the Ni-tube inside the surface during annealing. To be precise, the textured Ni-encapsulated C tube was fabricated successfully after annealing at 300 °C. On further increasing the annealing temperature, the C tube disappeared gradually with the Ni coating being oxidized to NiO. Of note, the C tube acted as a support layer for the external Ni coating, providing sufficient mechanical strength. When combined with the coating PDMS layer, a flexible and lightweight EMI shielding material is fabricated successfully. It displays an outstanding EMI shielding effectiveness of 31.34 dB and a higher specific shielding efficiency of 27.5 dB·cm3/g, especially showing excellent mechanical property and flexibility with only 2 mm thickness. This study provides a new method to fabricate outstanding EMI shielding materials.

Selective hydrogenolysis of aryl ethers to produce aromatic compounds is a key strategy for lignin valorization. The use of non-noble-metal catalysts to realize the cleavage of C–O ether bonds under mild conditions has been of considerable research interest recently. We herein report the synthesis of a nitrogen-doped porous-carbon-skeleton-supported Ni–CeO2 catalyst (Ni–CeO2/CN). The synergistic effect between Ni and CeO2 species led to the Ni–CeO2/CN catalyst having a high activity and selectivity for the cleavage of C–O ether bonds at a low reaction temperature. In particular, the Ni–CeO2/CN catalyst showed excellent effectiveness in the hydrogenolysis of benzyl phenyl ether (α-O-4 bonds), and the full conversion was achieved after 2 h at a temperature of 60 °C, with phenol and toluene as the sole reaction products. In addition, the conversion of more robust β-O-4 ether bonds in 2-phenoxy-1-phenylethanol reached up to 100% with the yield of ethylbenzene and phenol at 150 °C for 2.5 h being 60.2% and 68.3%, respectively. The reusability-experiment results indicate that Ni–CeO2/CN maintained a high catalytic activity in five reaction runs, making this a promising route for C–O ether bond cleavage under mild conditions.

The hydrogenation of nitrobenzene (NB) in acid medium is regarded as the most promising route to prepare p- aminophenol (PAP). The noble metals such as Pt have been reported as commercial catalysts but base metals are inactive due to strong acids needed in the reaction medium. Therefore, Ni-based catalyst has been attempted using solid acids, however, the results are not attractive. In this work, in order to improve the acid-resistance of Ni in sulfuric acid, we insert Si into the Ni crystal structure to form Ni-silicides. The as-prepared supported Ni-silicides nanoparticles exhibit excellent acid-resistance and perform high activity and selectivity of the entitled reaction. NiSi 2 nanoparticles supported on acid-treated active carbon are highly active and selective to convert NB to PAP in sulfuric acid. The XPS measurements show that the Ni in the Ni-silicides donates electrons to silicon, but the Ni valence is still far lower than nickel oxide, which causes its stability in acids and the activity to hydrogen activation is partially reserved. Thus, the catalysts exhibit excellent stability in alloy structure, morphology, and catalytic performance in reuses, suggesting the Ni-silicides nanoparticles as the promising substitute for precious metal for PAP manufactures.

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.

Dye-sensitized systems show promising in photocatalysis because they can separate the tasks of light absorption, charge generation and surface catalysis to two coupled components. In this system, it is crucial to develop suitable catalysts capable of receiving dye-injected charges and having high activity to a given reaction. Aiming to photocatalytic H 2 and O 2 production, we present a metal-organic framework derived route to prepare bimetallic Fe-Ni-P nanotubes using Fe-Ni-MIL-88 nanorods as templates. When integrated with different dyes, these Fe-Ni-P nanotubes can serve as efficient catalysts for photocatalytic H 2 and O 2 production, respectively. Additionally, catalytic activities of such dye-sensitized systems can be conveniently regulated by tailoring the metal compositions in Fe-Ni-P nanotubes. The photocatalytic H 2 production of Fe 1 -Ni 2 -P can reach 5420 μmol g cat −1 h −1 under eosin-Y sensitization, which is 24 times and 6.7 times higher than Fe 2 P and Ni 2 P, respectively. The photocatalytic O 2 production of Fe 1 -Ni 2 -P can reach 900.3 μmol g cat −1 h −1 under [Ru(bpy) 3 ]Cl 2 sensitization, about 4.6 times and 2.9 times higher than Fe 2 P and Ni 2 P. The roles of different components in the system have been explored and corresponding working mechanism is proposed. This work demonstrates a new type of dye-sensitized systems consisting of bimetallic phosphides and provides a facile route to regulate their photocatalytic performance.

Fuel flexibility is one of the significant advantages of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The utilization of methane in SOFCs can not only reduce fuel costs, but also greatly expand its application scenarios, which is of great significance to the commercial development of SOFCs. However, when methane is directly used, Ni-based cermet anode suffers from coking, which seriously affects the durability of the cell. To alleviate the coking issue, a reforming layer outside the Ni-based anode-supporter was proposed in this study, and Ba 0.9 (Zr 0.8 Y 0.2 ) 1- x Ni x O 3-δ (BZYNi x , x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2) was used as reforming layer material. Among BZYNi x catalysts, BZYNi 0.2 exhibited excellent catalytic activity toward dry reforming of methane, and methane conversion was as high as 85% at 750 °C. The excellent catalytic durability and coking-resistance of BZYNi 0.2 were also confirmed. When BZYNi 0.2 reforming layer was applied, the single cell fueled with CH 4 –CO 2 fuel showed significantly improved electrochemical performance, durability and coking-resistance. The utilization of BZYNi 0.2 reforming layer provides guidance for solving the coking issue of SOFC cermet anodes when fueled with hydrocarbon.

Supported Ni and Ir nanocatalysts have been used in CO2 dry reforming of methane (DRM); however, their fast deactivation limited further applications. In this research, we introduced NiO nanoparticles (NPs) on the SiO2 surface ahead of the addition of the Ir source for the bimetallic Ir–Ni/SiO2 catalyst. The homogeneous NiO NPs provide finite spaces to prohibit the agglomeration of Ir NPs under H2 reduction. The Ir–Ni/SiO2 catalyst was obtained with ultrasmall bimetallic NPs (1.4 nm) uniformly distributed on the SiO2 surface. Owing to the synergistic effects within the bimetal, the catalytic performance on the fabricated bimetallic catalyst into the DRM reaction is significantly enhanced, with 1.2 times higher than the sum of the Ir and Ni monometallic catalysts. Besides, the side reaction of the reverse water–gas shift reaction is effectively suppressed, and the stability is also improved. This facile strategy provides another approach to fabricate ultrasmall and homogeneous bimetallic catalysts for efficient storage and conversion of fossil fuels.
