Designing an absorber to mitigate the electromagnetic radiation pollution caused by the rapid development of radio technology with multiple characteristics, including high reflection loss (RL), broad absorption bandwidth, thinness, and low filling ratio, is crucial but challenging. This work prepared three-dimensional heterogeneous MXene/Ni composites by using an electrostatic self-assembly method. Due to the synergistic effect of dielectric loss, magnetic loss, and the unique heterogeneous structure, the obtained multilayer MXene/Ni composites, with a low filling ratio of 15 wt % and a thickness of only 1.5 mm, achieved an astonishing minimum RL value of −79.6 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 3.35 GHz. Furthermore, an ultrawide tunable EAB of 12.35 GHz could be obtained in the frequency range of 3.30–15.65 GHz by adjusting the matching thickness of the samples. This design of a heterogeneous interface structure provides a practical strategy to develop high-performance next-generation electromagnetic absorbers.

A nanoporous Ni layer on the surface of Mg was prepared utilizing the reduction reaction of Ni 2+ by Mg in NiCl 2 .12H 2 O solution. XRD result showed that the product was composed of cubic Ni, hexagonal Mg and little Mg(OH) 2 . SEM and TEM results suggested that a nanoporous Ni layer microencapsulated Mg and formed Ni@Mg. The specific surface area of Ni@Mg formed in this reaction was 65.3 m 2 /g. Hydrogen uptake increased as the temperature increased. Moreover, Ni@Mg showed a reversible hydriding-dehydriding process without formation of the stable hydrides, which indicated that the nanoporous Ni layer on the surface of Mg showed an obvious physisorption characteristics rather than hydrogen storage behavior of Mg.

Hydrogenation of CO 2 to methane is a feasible solution to the growing global environmental and energy challenges. Nickel-based catalysts are efficient and cost effective for CO 2 methanation. Hernin, we synthesized Mn-promoted Ni/Al 2 O 3 catalysts with facilitated CO 2 methanation and elucidated the crucial role of Mn. After Mn doping, NiMn/Al 2 O 3 catalysts showed improved NiO dispersion. Subsequently, H 2 reduction and CO 2 methanation treatments resulted in reduction of NiO and MnO 2 into Ni and MnO, and incorporation of Ni 2+ into MnO lattice, forming NiMnO x and creating numerous Ni-NiMnO x interfaces. The abundant oxygen vacancies from NiMnO x could enhance CO 2 activation. Moreover, oxygen vacancies at the interface also promote electron transfer from Ni and MnO, leading to electron-poor Ni nanoparticles and thus significantly promoting the *CO methanation. Ultimately, the electron-poor Ni nanoparticles and abundant oxygen vacancies at the Ni-NiMnO x interface jointly facilitate CO 2 methanation.

Hydrophobic metallic coatings have garnered significant scientific and industrial interest due to their exceptional mechanical durability and extensive application potential. A critical yet not fully understood phenomenon associated with certain metallic surfaces is the spontaneous and reversible transition from an initial hydrophilic state to a hydrophobic state over time. This study aims to elucidate the physicochemical mechanisms underlying the time-dependent wettability transition. The Ni based alloy coating, characterized by an intricate, rough hierarchical structure, was successfully fabricated on 304 stainless steel (SS) substrates through electrodeposition. The temporal evolution of the coating's wetting behavior was systematically monitored, confirming a transition from hydrophilicity to hydrophobicity following aging in ambient air. To disentangle the underlying factors contributing to this phenomenon, plasma cleaning was employed to systematically remove adsorbed airborne hydrocarbons from the coating surface. Comparative X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of the surfaces before and after plasma treatment revealed a substantial reduction in the atomic ratio of airborne hydrocarbon groups (from 79.2 % to 62.7 %), accompanied by a notable increase in lattice oxygen content. These findings demonstrate that the observed wettability transition is a multifaceted process arising from synergistic effects involving both physical adsorption of environmental hydrocarbons and concurrent chemical changes occurring on the coating surface. The interaction between adsorbed hydrocarbon molecules and lattice oxygen has been identified as a key driver for the gradual evolution of surface wettability. Collectively, these insights enhance the understanding of dynamic interfacial behaviors exhibited by metallic coatings and establish a fundamental theoretical framework for rational design and optimization of stable hydrophobic metallic surfaces.

Ni/TiO2 as a classic system has been widely studied in the traditional catalysis field including the water-gas shift reaction and selective oxidation/hydrogenation. However, in terms of the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), there is still a lack of systematic research on the actual synergistic promotion effect on the performance, and the influence of the host material on the electronic interaction between Ni and TiO2 is still unclear. Herein, we synthesized a series of Ni/TiO2 composites with different forms and tested the relevant HER performance. The results show that Ni/TiO2 exhibits much better HER performance than pure Ni and there is one type of electronic interaction between Ni and TiO2 in the composite with different forms, that is, electrons transfer from Ni to TiO2. However, the interaction strength is host dependent, and the composite with Ni as the host displays the strongest interaction, and therefore the best HER performance (46 mV at 10 mA cm−2).

The creation of inexpensive, high-performance catalysts to reduce the overpotential of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process is critical for the electrolysis of water for hydrogen production. Therefore, we applied a one-step hydrothermal method using cation exchange reaction (CER) to prepare Fe-doped and interfacial Ru nanoclusters co-engineered Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets directly grafted on Ni foam (Ru@Fe-Ni(OH) 2 /NF) for OER process. Results of electrochemical tests reveal that Ru@Fe-Ni(OH) 2 /NF has excellent OER activity, and its overpotential (η) is only 266.4 mV when the current density is 50 mA cm −2 in 1 M KOH solution, even lower than that of commercial OER catalyst RuO 2 (355 mV). The Tafel slope also decreases from 133.8 mV dec −1 for pristine Ni(OH) 2 /NF material to 24.1 mV dec −1 for Ru@Fe-Ni(OH) 2 /NF, indicating the higher charge transfer rates and fastest kinetics for water oxidation. At an overpotential of 300 mV the optimal turnover frequency (TOF) of 0.062 s −1 for Ru@Fe-Ni(OH) 2 /NF is achieved compared to that of Ni(OH) 2 /NF (0.014 s −1 , NN), demonstrating the fast reaction kinetics of the as-prepared electrocatcalyst. After 24 h stability test, the catalytic activity of Ru@Fe-Ni(OH) 2 /NF was only attenuated by 2 %, showing excellent OER stability and durability. Our results show that we have successfully developed an efficient OER catalyst for green and efficient electrocatalytic hydrolysis to produce H 2 and O 2 , providing a promising method for clean H 2 production.

In this paper, a series of bimetallic catalysts with different Ni/Co ratios were prepared by co-impregnation method for application in methane dry reforming reaction. The effects of different Ni/Co ratios on the catalyst performance were investigated. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, H 2 -TPR, TG, TEM and FTIR. The results showed that after the introduction of a certain amount of Co, the synergistic effect between Ni and Co enhanced the active component-carrier interaction, thus improving the dispersion of the active component of the catalyst, reducing the particle size of the metal, and increasing the activity of the catalyst. Meanwhile, the mechanistic study showed that the introduction of Co species with strong oxygen affinity facilitated the formation of oxygen vacancies. It makes the catalysts contain higher lattice oxygen and carbonate species, which was conducive to the elimination of carbon accumulation, thus improving the stability of catalysts. Therefore, the 10Ni-8Co-10Y/WC-AC catalyst exhibited excellent dry reforming of methane (DRM) performance at a Ni/Co ratio of 5:4. The conversions of CO 2 and CH 4 were 95 % and 88 % at 800 °C under atmospheric pressure, respectively.

Electrochemical synthesis of ammonia driven by clean energy is expected to realize the supply of ammonia for distributed production of industry and agriculture. Here, nickel nanoparticles and nickel in the form of single atoms were simultaneously anchored on the electrochemically active carrier BCN matrix through a structured domain strategy, which realized a high-efficiency, high-value-added, conversion of nitrate in sewage. Specifically, the electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NIRR) driven by BCN@Ni in alkaline media achieves an ammonia yield rate as high as 2320.2 μg h −1 cm −2 (at −0.5 V vs RHE), and Faraday efficiency as high as 91.15% (at −0.3 V vs RHE). Even in neutral and acidic media, the ammonia yield rates of NIRR driven by BCN@Ni are as high as 1904.2 μg h −1 cm −2 and 2057.4 μg h −1 cm −2 , respectively (at −0.4 V vs RHE). The 15 NO 3 - isotope labeling experiment verified that the recorded ammonia all came from the electrochemical reduction of NO 3 – on BCN@Ni. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that both nano-Ni and single-atom Ni in BCN@Ni have the ability to electrochemically convert NO 3 – into NH 3 , and that the addition of BCN can further promote the NIRR on Ni.

The development of self-supporting electrodes that exhibited both high efficiency and good durability remained a challenge in the field of hydrogen energy utilisation. Here, we designed a self-supporting 3D hierarchical porous electrode by filling carbon nanotubes (CNTs) loaded with Ni–P alloy into the framework of nickel foam (NF). Firstly, CNTs were decorated with a catalytically active Ni–P alloy via electroless plating (Ni–P@CNTs). Then, the Ni–P@CNTs were filled and anchored onto the framework of NF via electroplating to synthesise a self-supporting electrode (Ni–P@CNTs/NF). The Ni–P@CNTs/NF exhibited an excellent catalytic performance toward the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in 1 M KOH electrolyte, with an overpotential of 53 mV at 10 mA cm −2 , a small Tafel slope of 101.56 mV dec −1 and excellent long-term durability. This facile and effective strategy might provide a new path to the design of self-supporting electrodes with enhanced HER catalytic.

The production of high-purity hydrogen using surplus electrical energy and abundant water resources has immense potential in mitigating the fossil energy crisis, as hydrogen fuel holds clean, pollution-free, and high-energy characteristics. However, the practical application of large-scale hydrogen production from water faces challenges such as high overpotentials, sluggish dynamics, and limited electrocatalytic lifetime associated with the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Here, we fabricated the sandwich structure of a Ni/Fe 3 O 4 @poly(3,4-ethylene-dioxythiophene)/Ni (Ni/Fe 3 O 4 @PEDOT/Ni) electrode and employed a strong magnet to obtain a magnetic electrode capable of achieving high-activity and durability for HER. Electrochemical analysis reveals that the activated magnetic electrode displays a significantly reduced overpotential and an extended electrocatalytic lifetime of 10 days. Notably, its stability is higher than that of non-magnetic Ni/Fe 3 O 4 /Ni and Ni/Fe 3 O 4 @PEDOT/Ni electrodes, primarily due to the support from magnetic force and the protective PEDOT layer. Moreover, the minute atomized droplets can form the H 2 O 2 species in a moist environment, facilitating the formation of the NiO layer on the Ni surface, which plays a vital role in boosting catalytic activity. In conclusion, our magnetic electrode strategy, combined with the emergence of the NiO layer, offers valuable insights for the development of advanced HER electrodes.

A bimetallic Ni-Pt catalyst (6Ni-Pt-HMS) was designed for the dehydrogenation of 1,2-cyclohexanediol (CHD) to catechol. The hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS) as support, loaded with platinum and nickel by one-pot and incipient-wetness impregnation method, respectively. [Ni(en) 3 ](NO 3 ) 2 is used as the precursor of nickel. The physi-cochemical properties of the catalysts were examined by XRD, BET, SEM and TEM techniques. The effect of ethylenediamine on nickel dispersion during impregnation was studied by comparing with the traditional precursor (nickel nitrate). FTIR and TGA results showed that the presence of ethylenediamine modifies the behavior of nickel during impregnation and calcination . The activity and stability of the catalysts were evaluated on a fixed-bed, revealing the influence of mesoporous structure, ethylenediamine, and platinum on reaction. The 6Ni-Pt-HMS catalyst, with the conversion of CHD is 100 %, the selectivity of catechol as high as 99.7 % with the liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) is 9 h −1 , and a long-term stability. The deactivation mechanism of the spent catalyst was analyzed by BET, TGA, SEM, TEM-EDX and ICP-OES.
