Ternary Zn–Mn–Ni alloy coatings were electrodeposited for the first time from a choline chloride based ionic liquid with the aim of collecting properties of binary Zn–Mn and Zn–Ni alloys into one alloy system. The effect of electrodeposition potential on the composition and corrosion performance of the obtained ternary Zn–Mn–Ni deposits was investigated and contrasted with the characteristics of Zn–Mn and Zn–Ni deposits. Cyclic voltammetry revealed that the deposition of ternary Zn–Mn–Ni alloys behaved differently from the deposition of binary Zn–Mn and Zn–Sn alloys and that Mn deposition takes place at positive potentials in the Zn–Mn–Ni electrolyte than in the Zn–Mn electrolyte due to the presence of Ni 2+ ions in the electrolyte. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the Zn–Mn–Ni ternary alloys consist of a lattice of Zn (with Mn and Ni imbedded inside) at low electrodeposition potentials and MnZn(with Ni imbedded inside) phase at high electrodeposition potentials. Chemical composition analysis show that the Mn content in the ternary Zn–Mn–Ni alloy increased with increase in electrodeposition potential, whereas Zn and Ni contents are suppressed. The corrosion tests results indicate that through addition of Ni into the Zn–Mn binary alloy, the Zn–Mn–Ni alloy tailored are more corrosion resistant than the Zn–Mn binary alloy whilst the passivation behavior is still preserved.

A Ni–Mg bimetal-doped Zn(O,S) photocatalyst has been synthesized, characterized, and tested for several photocatalytic applications. The hydrogen generation reaction, hydrogenation reaction for chemical transformation, detoxification of hexavalent chromium, and mixed dye (MB + RhB + MO) degradation under simulated solar-light illumination were confirmed. The essential characterization results indicated improved oxygen vacancy sites on the catalyst with enhanced photoresponse, better photocarrier separation, and facile charge transfer properties. A typical catalyst, NMZ-S10, was evaluated with a 1000-cycle CV test to demonstrate its long-term use for industrial application. Stable reusability experiments for the HER, PHR, PHC reaction, and PDM also supported the long-term application. The photocatalytic HER of NMZ-S10 could evolve hydrogen at a rate of 4000 μmol g−1 h−1. 30 ppm azobenzene-to-aniline conversion was completely done in 2 h of reaction. Detoxification of 30 ppm hexavalent chromium was conducted in 70 min of reaction. Finally, 10.5 ppm MB–RhB–MO mixed dye degradation was carried out in 1 h of reaction. The as-synthesized NMZ-S10 catalyst has demonstrated its capability to overcome energy and environmental issues promisingly. The great photocatalytic activities are discussed and elucidated with a plausible mechanism to rationalize the superb catalytic performance.

Four supported catalysts, nickel and ruthenium on a HZSM-5 support, were prepared by equal volume impregnation and in-situ decomposition of carbonyl nickel. The properties of catalysts were investigated by catalytic hydro-conversion of 2,2′-dinaphthyl ether as the model compound and extraction residue of Naomaohu lignite as the sample under an initial H 2 pressure of 5 MPa and temperature at 150 °C. According to the catalytic hydro-conversion results of the model compound, Ni—Ru/HZSM-5 exhibited the best catalytic performance. It not only activated H 2 into H⋯H, but also further heterolytically split H⋯H into immobile H − attached on the acidic centers of Ni—Ru/HZSM-5 and relatively mobile H + . Catalytic hydro-conversion of the extraction residue from Naomaohu lignite was further examined over the optimized catalyst, Ni—Ru/HZSM-5. Detailed molecular compositions of products from the extraction residue with and without hydrogenation were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The analytical results showed that the oxygen-containing functional groups in products of hydrogenated extraction residue were obviously reduced after the catalytic treatment. The relative content of oxygenates in the product with catalytic treatment was 18.57% lower than that in the product without catalytic treatment.

MgAl2O4:M (M = Ti, Mn, Co, Ni) phosphors were successfully prepared by a modified polyacrylamide gel method. Calcination temperature and metal particle has significant effects on the phase transition, optical and color properties of Mg Al2O4: M phosphors. Ti, M n, Co and Ni metal particles introduced into the MgAl2O4 system can produce a variety of colours from white, grayish black, blue to turquoise blue. Mn, Co and Ni metal particles added into MgAl2O4 system can extend their light absorption to visible light range, while the Ti metal particles clad into the system did not improve significantly. Co metal particles appended into the MgAl2O4 system can cause fluorescence quenching of emission peak at 395 nm and enhancement of emission peak at 405 nm, while the Ti and Mn metal particles infused into the system can bring the enhancement of visible emission peak at 425 nm. The fluorescence quenching of the peak at 395 nm can be ascribed to the wavelength of Co metal particles matching the surface plasmon absorbance band of MgAl2O4:M phosphor. A reduction in emission intensity at 425 nm can be assigned to electron transfer from the conduction band (CB) of MgAl2O4 to the CB of metal particles causing non-radiative decay.

Hierarchically nanoporous Ti–SiO2 particles were synthesized by dissolving template method, and the hierarchically nanoporous Au@Ti–SiO2 particles were further prepared by in-situ synthesis method using NaBH4 as reducing agent. The
components of the hierarchically nanoporous Au@Ti–SiO2 particles and Ni–W–Co alloy electrode were investigated by energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). In addition, the hierarchically nanoporous Au@Ti–SiO2/Ni–W–Co composite electrode
was fabricated by the method of composite electrodeposition using hierarchically nanoporous Au@Ti–SiO2 particles as composite nanoparticles. Finally, the electrocatalytic activities for hydrogen evolution of different electrodes were investigated. Results showed that, the
mass fractions of Ni, W and Co were 62.78%, 11.75% and 25.47% respectively in the coating of Ni–W–Co alloy electrode. The mass fractions of Au and Ti were 0.94% and 4.21% respectively in the hierarchically nanoporous Au@Ti–SiO2 particles which indicated that the
Au nanoparticles were successfully doped into the hierarchically nanoporous Ti–SiO2 particles. And the results of electrocatalytic activity study showed that, Co and W have good electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution, which can greatly improve the electrocatalytic
activity for hydrogen evolution. The electrocatalytic activity of Ni–W–Co alloy electrode was superior than that of Ni electrode and Ni-Walloy electrode. The electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution of hierarchically nanoporous Au@Ti–SiO2/Ni–W–Co
composite electrode was improved because of adding Au@Ti–SiO2 and reached the optimal value when the concentration of nanoporous Au@Ti–SiO2 particles was 1.6 g/L.

There has been a great deal of attention to the development of heterogeneous non-noble metal catalysts for the selective and mild hydrogenation of nitro compounds into primary amines. Herein, a biomass-derived carbon material supported Ni catalyst (Ni/C) was facilely prepared by a one-pot pyrolysis process, and the as-prepared Ni/C catalyst demonstrated a high catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of nitro compounds into primary amines at room temperature. The Ni/C catalyst not only demonstrated a high catalytic activity but also showed a good tolerance to other functional groups. Structurally diverse primary amines were achieved in yields from 92% to 99% within a few hours at room temperature under 5 bar H2. Furthermore, the Ni/C catalyst showed good reusability without the loss of its activity.

Non-H 2 and solvent-free catalytic conversion of waste lipids to liquid hydrocarbons is of great interest because of the associated low-cost, full-safety, and easy-operability. In this work, a solvent-free catalytic process for deoxygenating oleic acid was performed in H 2 and non-H 2 (N 2 , CH 4 , and CO 2 ) media over nano-Ni/HZSM-5. 8-Heptadecene, a primary product obtained at 320 °C in four media, was derived from the straightforward decarboxylation of oleic acid. In non-H 2 medium at 360 °C, the formation of C 8 –C 15 alkanes was enhanced, with yields of ca. 65.05 mol%, 70.71 mol%, and 73.09 mol% for N 2 , CH 4 , and CO 2 , respectively. A low yield of 49.67 mol% C 8 –C 15 alkanes in H 2 medium suggested that the H 2 medium reduced catalytic cracking . This was due to the preferential formation of stable heptadecane from 8-heptadecene in the presence of abundant H 2 . The absence of H 2 favored the cracking of 8-heptadecene. These cracked products were further converted to C 8 –C 15 alkanes, for which a mass supply of hydrogen was mandatory. Gas-phase reactions including methanation , Fisher-Tropsch (F-T) synthesis, and water-gas shift (WGS) reactions between deoxygenated gas products and reaction media provided significant pathways for the hydrogen required for the formation of alkanes. The CH 4 medium also acted as a hydrogen source due to its decomposition, catalyzed by nano-Ni/HZSM-5. Coke was substantially formed in all the four media. It was highlighted that the medium of H 2 favored the formation of aliphatic cokes, whereas the non-H 2 media, particularly the CO 2 medium, facilitated aromatic coke species on account of its weak oxidizability. Additionally, there was a severe loss of loaded Ni nanoparticles under H 2 medium but a slight Ni loss in CO 2 medium, which was proposed to the reason of aromatic cokes formation at the catalyst surface , acting as a trap for the loaded Ni nanoparticles.

Self-supported nickel–iron nitride microsheet arrays coated with carbon are grown on commercial Ni foam (NixFeyN@C/NF) and used as an electrocatalyst for splitting of alkaline seawater. The porous architecture and superhydrophilic/superaerophobic surface ensure sufficient exposure of active sites and mass transfer. The synergetic coupling effect between the carbon coating and NixFeyN facilitates electron transport. The optimal anode (Ni3FeN@C/NF) and cathode (Ni3N@C/NF) electrocatalysts are employed to assemble a two-electrode seawater electrolyzer for overall alkaline seawater electrolysis, which delivers a large current density of 500 mA cm−2 at a low cell voltage of 1.91 V. The superior corrosion-resistance and electron conductivity of the electrocatalyst are responsible for its excellent durability up to 100 hours. This result suggests that transition-metal nitrides coated with carbon offer an effective route to fabricate high-performance and durable hybrid electrocatalysts for hydrogen production from seawater electrolysis.

Direct Z-scheme heterojunctions composed of Ag 2 O nanoparticles and ZnO nanorods were immobilized on Ni foam (AZN) via combined hydrothermal and precipitation methods to successfully construct 3D reticulated composites, and their photocatalytic performance were evaluated under simulated sunlight. Just as expected, the AZN samples exhibited excellent photocatalytic effects of 99.26% for the model pollutant (rhodamine B) in water after loading with Ag 2 O, which was 2.77 times higher than that of regular ZnO NAs/Ni foam composites. Meanwhile, the surface wettability of composite was remarkably enhanced. Besides, a series of photoelectrochemical measurements showed a significant improvement in the charge separation efficiency of AZN, which was attributed to the synergistic effect of direct Z-scheme heterojunction, matched energy band structure as well as 3D porous structure. Moreover, the AZN sample presented satisfactory stability after four cycles, meanwhile it displayed good removal performance against different types of antibiotics (Tetracycline, Sulfadiazine and Ciprofloxacin). The applicability and durability of AZN for rhodamine B degradation were evaluated by sequential batch experiments in a homemade simulated flowing water device. More importantly, the lower value of electrical energy per order indicated the photocatalyst/simulated sunlight system was more energy efficient and effective. Accordingly, this work provided a new strategy for designing 3D reticulated composites with low-dimensional nanomaterials to decompose organic pollutants in impaired waters.

The low-cost Al–Ni alloy particles could achieve high dechlorination activity for 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) with the addition of tetrasodium EDTA (EDTA-4Na) in this study. The species of chelating agent, pH values, and the dosages of chelating agent were investigated for their effects on dechlorination efficiency of 2-CP in solution. EDTA-4Na presented the highest promoting effect for Al–Ni alloy in dechlorination process compared with other chelating agents, which is closely correlated with the conditional stability constant ( K f ′ ) of chelates formed. The optimized result showed that 0.389 mM of 2-CP was completely dechlorinated into phenol using 10 g L −1 of Al–Ni alloy and 10 mM of EDTA-4Na at initial pH 11.0 within 45-min reaction. Recycling tests of the alloy particles showed that Al–Ni alloy coupling with EDTA in aqueous solution exhibited high dechlorination activity and stability before being exhausted. The maintenance of Al–Ni alloy activity for dechlorination was mainly attributed to the promoting effect of EDTA-4Na on Al corrosion, the inherent structure of alloy with Ni crystal homogeneously dispersing into Al substrate, and the change of its surface morphology with more active sites formed by EDTA corrosion.

Considering the connected function, high conductivity and electrochemical double layer capacitance properties of reduced graphene oxide (RGO), the NiMoS 4 nanosheets were anchored on RGO coated Ni foam by a facile hydrothermal method to obtain the NiMoS 4 @RGO/Ni foam self-supporting electrode without the extra binders. Surprisingly, the prepared NiMoS 4 @RGO/Ni foam with unique hierarchical lamellar structure can exhibit the high specific capacity of 408 mAh/g at 0.5 A/g, which can be compared with all relevant NiMoS 4 reports. In view of the good supercapacitor performances and practical application feasibility of NiMoS 4 @RGO/Ni foam, the NiMoS 4 @RGO/Ni foam//AC hybrid supercapacitor device also can show the comparable energy density of 67.4 Wh/kg at 562.5 W/kg to that of all NiMoS 4 based hybrid supercapacitors , as well as the good cycle stability. This work can indeed improve the supercapcaitor properties of NiMoS 4 based materials, and be also treated as an important attempt of NiMoS 4 based materials for supercapacitors .

Na-metal halide batteries are regarded as one of the most promising candidates for large-scale energy storage systems owing to their high energy density and high safety. However, the problems of low kinetics and poor stability caused by the low-conductive chlorides have restricted the development of Na-metal halide batteries. Here, we design a facile approach that combines electrospinning and electrodeposition to prepare electrodes with a nanostructured composite containing carbon nanofibers and Ni-Fe alloy (CNF@Ni-Fe alloy). It is confirmed that the Ni-Fe alloy can stably be oxidized and reformed when discharges from 2.36 V to 2.32 V. Benefiting from the unique nanoscale arrangement of Ni-Fe, the heterogeneous distribution of FeCl 2 and NiCl 2 effectively overcomes the block of low-conductive chlorides. Furthermore, the coreaction of Ni 2+ and Fe 2+ directly decreases the polarization potential, resulting in the improvement of reaction kinetics. Notably, batteries with the CNF@Ni-Fe alloy display a high specific capacity of 199.7 mAh g −1 and a capacity retention rate of 99% after 50 cycles at 0.6 C. The CNF@Ni-Fe alloy cathodes also deliver long-term stability with 104.5 mAh g −1 capacity retention after 600 cycles at 2 C and a good rate capability of 5 C.
