In this paper, two-component nanocages containing CoS x and nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxides (Ni-Co LDH) were facilely synthesized via a multistep transformation approach. The zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) nanocrystals were firstly synthesized, and then after partial sulfuration, the CoS x /Ni-Co LDH nanocages were achieved by adding nickel ions for etching and precipitation. The prepared CoS x /Ni-Co LDH nanocages consisted of the hollow rhombic dodecahedral morphology with many nanosheets arrays on the shell. When used as electrode materials for electrochemical capacitors, this CoS x /Ni-Co LDH nanocages deliver a specific capacitance of 1562 F g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 . In addition, an asymmetric supercapacitor assembled with CoS x /Ni-Co LDH as cathode and active carbon (AC) as anode shows a high energy density of 35.8 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 800 W kg −1 and has an excellent cycling performance with the retention rate of 94.56% after 10,000 cycles, suggesting their potential application in high-performance electrochemical capacitors. These exceptional electrochemical properties can be attributed to the unique structure and synergistic effects between the metal sulfide and the bimetallic hydroxide, which also indicate the potential application of CoS x /Ni-Co LDH nanocages in high-performance supercapacitors.

N-doped porous carbon encapsulated NiO/Ni composite nanomaterials (N-doped NiO/Ni@C) was successfully obtained by a one-step solution combustion method. This study demonstrates a one-step combustion method to synthesize n-doped porous carbon encapsulated NiO/Ni composite nanomaterials, using carbon dioxide as the carbon source, nickel nitrate as the nickel source, and hydrazine hydrate as the reaction solution. Spherical NiO nanoparticles with a particle size of 20 nm were uniformly distributed in the carbon matrix. The load of NiO/Ni can be controlled by the amount of nickel nitrate. The range of carbon content of recovered samples is 69–87 at%. The content of incorporated nitrogen for recovered samples is 1.94 at%. As the anode of lithium ion battery, the composite material exhibits high capacity, excellent multiplier performance and stable circulation performance. N-doped NiO/Ni@C-2 was applied to lithium ion batteries, and its reversible capacity maximum is 980 mAh g−1after 100 cycles at the current density of 0.1 A g−1.

Co(Ni)/MoO 3 catalysts were prepared, characterized and evaluated for the hydrogenolysis of bio-derived dibenzofuran (DBF), aiming at the understanding of the promoting effect of Co/Ni on MoO 3 for high-yield production of aromatic products. All Co(Ni)/MoO 3 catalysts selectively cleaved C-O bond, thus effectively transformed DBF to biphenyl (BP) at relatively moderate conditions. The experimental results from varying Mo species by adjusting the reduction temperature of MoO 3 together with XPS and in-situ XRD characteristic were evident that Mo 5+ species was responsible as the major active specie for the reaction. Promotional effect between Co(Ni) and Mo in Co(Ni)/MoO 3 catalysts was observed, resulted from the presence of acidic Co(Ni)MoO 4 species and a large number of Mo 5+ species both of which were created local to the Co(Ni)-O-Mo interface, as can be characterized by in-situ XRD, XPS, H 2 -TPR, NH 3 -TPD, in-situ FT-IR, Raman and TEM. The trend of the initial reaction rate follows: MoO 3 (0.18 μmol∙g cat −1 ∙s −1 ) < Ni/MoO 3 (0.26 μmol∙g cat −1 ∙s −1 ) < Co/MoO 3 (0.29 μmol∙g cat −1 ∙s −1 ), corresponding to the decreasing activation barrier. And the best catalytic activity was observed for the 100% yield of BP over Co/MoO 3 . A possible mechanism, including Co(Ni) facilitated reduction of Mo 6+ to Mo 5+ and Co(Ni) enhanced formation of acidic sites, is proposed to be responsible for the high activity in Co(Ni)/MoO 3 catalysts.

PEO-based composite electrolytes are very promising in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). To achieve ASSBs with high energy density, PEO based composite electrolytes should match high-voltage cathodes, but the stability of the cathode interface is a challenging issue. Herein, we investigate the electrochemical performance of single-crystal LiNi0.6Mn0.1Co0.3O2 (SC-NMC613) in ASSBs with PEO-based electrolytes, and compare the electrochemical performance of SC-NMC613 with conventional polycrystalline LiNi0.6Mn0.1Co0.3O2 (PC-NMC613) systematically. The Li+ diffusion coefficient of SC-NMC613 is 2–4 times higher than that of PC-NCM613 in ASSBs. SC-NCM613 shows high initial specific capacity (152 mA h g−1) at 0.5C, stable cycling performance (100 cycles, retention of 108.9 mA h g−1), and exceptional rate capability even without surface modification, while PC-NCM613 shows low initial specific capacity (137.5 mA h g−1) at 0.5C, poor cycling performance (100 cycles, retention of 90.1 mA h g−1), and poor rate capability in ASSBs. The severe cycling degradation of PC-NCM613 is mainly attributed to the structural deterioration inside particles and the formation of a rock-salt phase. The SC-NCM613 particles observably alleviate the generation of intergranular cracks and decelerate the formation of the rock-salt phase. SC-NCM cathodes in ASSBs with PEO-based electrolyte are beneficial to the stability of the cathode interface. Therefore, developing single-crystal Ni-rich cathodes represents a promising strategy to achieve ASSBs with both high energy density and power density.

Low-cost and highly electroactive nickel-based materials are important electrodes for the development of supercapacitors. The precise modulation of the morphology and microstructure has been a crucial measure to further enhance the electrochemical performance. Herein, a three-dimensional porous nanocage NixS6/Ni(OH)2 hybrid formed by NixS6 nanoparticles anchored on Ni(OH)2 nanoflakes was creatively synthesized via a simple and scalable approach, which was based on two-time ion exchange reactions of the Mg(OH)2 precursor. Significantly, in asymmetric supercapacitors, the NixS6/Ni(OH)2 hybrid exhibits a high specific capacitance of 2726 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1 and an excellent energy density of 31.31 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 62.56 W kg−1, which are superior to those of the currently reported nickel sulfide electrode materials. Compared with the nanoflower-like Mg(OH)2 and Ni(OH)2 precursors, the NixS6/Ni(OH)2 hybrid possesses hollow, abundant porous morphology and better electrical conductivity, which could provide a large contact surface area, shorter ion diffusion path and excellent charge transport, resulting in a dramatic improvement in electrochemical performance, making the NixS6/Ni(OH)2 hybrid a superb cathode material for supercapacitors.

Here we report an environmentally friendly, one-pot strategy toward preparation of nickel nanoparticle-decorated reduced graphene-oxide (Ni-RGO) nanostructures, by employing Ni(AC) 2 as nickel source and ethylene glycol as both solvent and reducing agent via a facile microwave irradiation heating approach. The results show that Ni nanoparticles with an average diameter of around 40 nm are homogeneously anchored onto the surface of RGO sheets. As compared to the pure Ni nanoparticles and RGO sheets, Ni-RGO composites with over 64 wt% loading of Ni nanoparticles possess superior catalytic activities and selectivity toward the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. The corresponding kinetic reaction rate constant (defined as κ ) is even four-fold compared to pure Ni nanoparticles. Such promising composites show great potential for friendly treatment of industrial waste containing nitrophenol in a simple, sustainable and green way.

Electrochemical water splitting into hydrogen energy offers a promising pathway for renewable and clean energy conversion and storage, but high overpotentials are needed to drive the process owing to the sluggish kinetics of the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, three-dimensional (3D) mushroom-like NiCo/NiCo 2 S 4 @NiCo arrays grown directly on Ni foam (NF) have been constructed via hydrothermal and electrodeposition methods. Owing to the unique mushroom-like structure and the beneficial effect of the composite catalyst, the NiCo/NiCo 2 S 4 @NiCo/NF electrode exhibits excellent activity and stability for both OER and HER. When serving as an anode electrocatalyst , the composite catalyst only requires a overpotential of 294 mV to achieve a high current density of 100 mA/cm 2 for the OER in 1 M KOH. Moreover, in chronopotentiometric and chronoamperometric measurements, the NiCo/NiCo 2 S 4 @NiCo/NF electrode displays distinguished electrochemical and structural stability for at least 100,000 s. Similarly, the NiCo/NiCo 2 S 4 @NiCo/NF catalyst delivers a hydrogen production current density of 10 mA/cm 2 at an overpotential of 132 mV and shows no obvious attenuation of performance after stability testing for 100,000 s in an extreme alkaline environment. Accordingly, the remarkable and stable bifunctional abilities enable the application of the NiCo/NiCo 2 S 4 @NiCo/NF catalyst in two-electrode water-alkali electrolyzers with a low cell voltage of 1.55 V to deliver a current density of 10 mA/cm 2 and excellent stability for over 27 h.

Searching for inexpensive, efficient and durable electrocatalysts with earth-abundant elements toward the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is of vital importance for the future sustainable hydrogen economy, yet still remains a formidable challenge. Herein, a facile template-engaged strategy is demonstrated for the direct in-situ growth of Ni nanoparticles and N-doped carbon nanotubes on carbon nanorod substrates, forming a hierarchically branched architecture (abbreviated as Ni@N-C NT/NRs hereafter). The elaborate construction of such unique hierarchical structure with tightly encapsulated Ni nanoparticles and open configuration endows the as-fabricated Ni@N-C NT/NRs with abundant well-dispersed active sites, enlarged surface area, reduced resistances of charge transfer and mass diffusion, and reinforced mechanical robustness. As a consequence, the optimal Ni@N-C NT/NR catalyst demonstrates superior electrocatalytic activity with relatively low overpotential of 134 mV to deliver a current density of 10 mA·cm −2 and excellent stability for HER in 0.1 M KOH, holding a great promise for practical scalable H 2 production. More importantly, this work offers a reliable methodology for feasible fabrication of robust high-performance carbon-based hierarchical architectures for a variety of electrochemical applications.

Ni/Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 (SDC) with a three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) structure is prepared with poly(methyl methacrylate) as the template and characterized using X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, H2 temperature-programmed reduction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ultraviolet Raman spectroscopy. Lattice oxygen in 3DOM SDC shows a higher activity than that in hydrothermally synthesized bulk SDC. 3DOM SDC also exhibits a stronger interaction with Ni compared to bulk SDC, which facilitates the release of lattice oxygen and the formation of oxygen vacancies in SDC in a reducing atmosphere. Therefore, Ni/3DOM SDC shows a much higher catalytic activity for electrochemical oxidation than Ni/bulk SDC as the anode material of solid oxide fuel cells. With Ni/3DOM SDC as the anode, a cell supported by a 500 μm-thick SDC-carbonate composite electrolyte layer exhibits maximum power densities (Pmax) of 1.28 and 1.63 W cm−2 at 700 °C with H2 and methanol as fuels, respectively, more than twice the Pmax of a similar cell with a Ni/bulk SDC anode. The Ni/3DOM SDC anode also shows a high resistance to coking.

Ni-Doped ordered mesoporous carbon (Ni@OMC) was prepared by a one-pot solvent evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) process with sustainable biomass-derived gallic acid as the carbon precursor, F127 as the soft template and Ni2+ as the cross-linker and catalytically active ingredient. Ni particles with ca. 7.8 nm diameter were uniformly dispersed in the carbon skeleton of the synthesized OMC due to the confinement effects of Ni particles in the carbon skeleton of OMC by coordination between gallic acid molecules and metal Ni2+ ions in the EISA process. The as-synthesized Ni@OMC sample showed excellent catalytic performance for the hydrogenation of biomass-derived furfural into furfuryl alcohol (FFA), and a FFA yield as high as 98% could be achieved at 180 °C in 4 h reaction time in 1-propanol solvent in the presence of 3 MPa H2 pressure. The prepared Ni@OMC exhibited good stability and recyclability. This work provides a green and simple one-pot strategy for the synthesis of metal-doped OMCs without using harmful phenolic and formaldehyde compounds, which should have many applications in fields such as catalysis, drug delivery and energy storage.

Coating nickel onto copper nanowires (Cu NWs) by one-pot synthesis is an efficient approach to improving the oxidation resistance of the nanowires. Because Ni is much less conductive than Cu, it is of great importance to understand the relationship between the thickness of the Ni coating layer and the properties of NWs. Here we demonstrate one-pot synthesis of Cu–Ni core–shell NWs with a tunable Ni thickness by simply varying the Cu and Ni mole ratio in the precursor. We have observed that an increase in Ni thickness decreases the aspect ratio, surface smoothness and network conductivity of the resulting NWs. However, Cu–Ni NWs with a thicker Ni layer display higher oxidation temperature. The optimal Cu–Ni NWs, which were prepared using a Cu2+/Ni2+ molar ratio of 1/1, have a Ni-layer thickness of about 10 nm and the onset oxidation temperature of 270 °C. The derived transparent conductive films present a transmittance of 76% and a sheet resistance of 300 Ω sq−1. The flexible heater constructed from such high quality Cu–Ni NW films demonstrates effective performance in heating and defrosting.

Biogas is a renewable biomass energy source mainly composed of CH 4 and CO 2 . Dry reforming is a promising technology for the high-value utilization of biogas. Some impurity gases in biogas can not be completely removed after pretreatment, which may affect the performance of dry reforming. In this study, the influence of typical impurities H 2 S and NH 3 on dry reforming was studied using Ni/MgO catalyst. The results showed that low concentration of H 2 S in biogas could cause serious deactivation of catalyst. Characterization results including EDS, XPS and TOF-SIMS confirmed the adsorption of sulfur on the catalyst surface, which was the cause of catalyst poisoning. We used air calcination method to regenerate the sulfur-poisoned catalysts and found that the regeneration temperature higher than 500 °C could help catalyst recover the original activity. NH 3 in the concentration range of 50–10000 ppm showed a slight inhibitory effect on biogas dry reforming. The decline rate of biogas conversion efficiency increased with the increase of NH 3 concentration. This was related to the reduction of oxygen activity on catalyst surface caused by NH 3 . The synergetic effect of H 2 S and NH 3 in biogas was investigated. The results showed that biogas conversion decreased faster under the coexistence of H 2 S and NH 3 than under the effect of H 2 S alone, so as the surface oxygen activity of catalyst. Air calcination regeneration could also recover the activity of the deactivated catalyst under the synergetic effect of H 2 S and NH 3 .
