Hydrogen is regarded as one of the most promising energy sources of the future, due to its low-cost, zero-pollution, and high-heat value. Nevertheless, traditional methods of storing hydrogen are commonly accompanied by the risk of leaks and explosions, so how to store and transport hydrogen safely and efficiently is a critical issue that needs to be addressed. Solid-state hydrogen storage is the most attractive way to store hydrogen in nanomaterials by chemical or physical adsorption, which has the advantages of high energy density and good safety. Here, a rational Ni–Zn bimetallic MOF has been constructed by a straightforward synthetic technique, in which the Zn atom was partially replaced by the Ni atom. The micropore rate of the Ni–Zn bimetallic MOFs is higher than that of ZIF-8. In addition, the presence of Ni provides more unsaturated metal sites and strengthens the bonding between hydrogen molecules and Ni, effectively improving the hydrogen storage capacity of Ni–Zn bimetallic MOFs. The experimental results show that the hydrogen adsorption capacity of Ni–Zn bimetallic MOFs can reach 1.35 wt% at 77 K and 1 bar.

Water gas shift reaction (WGSR) is urgently calling for an alternative to the Fe-Cr catalyst. Ni-based catalysts are taken into consideration but remain challenging because of their high methanation activity. Here we report a highly active and selective NiC x /Ni-foam catalyst with clearly detectable Ni 3 C phase, facilely obtainable by endogenous growth of NiC 2 O 4 onto a Ni-foam and subsequent H 2 -reduction treatment. The preferred catalyst with high content of NiC x is capable of converting 63.6% or 94.3% CO at 350 °C or 400 °C with trace or < 0.8% CH 4 formation for a feed gas with H 2 O/CO/Ar molar ratio of 4/1/9, and is stable for at least 110 h. It is experimentally and theoretically unveiled that the Ni 3 C facilitates the dissociative activation of H 2 O and favors CO to form carboxylate species (favorable for CO 2 formation) rather than active Ni(CO) n intermediates for CH 4 formation thereby enabling the catalyst with high WGSR activity and selectivity.

We synthesized a series of Ru-Ti-Ni/CNT electrodes to degrade levofloxacin in wastewater. The unique structure of Ni single-atom-kernelled Ru nanoparticles regulates the reaction process, producing a notable synergistic effect. The reaction kinetics constant of Ru-Ti-Ni/CNT with a Ru: Ti ratio of 10:0 outperforms Ni/CNT by 3.7 times and CNT alone by 16.4 times. Comprehensive characterizations revealed its morphology and structure nature. Ru nanoparticles can shield Ni, while Ni single-atom facilitates electron transfer in Ru nanoparticles, generating abundant reactive oxygen radicals (ROS) that degrade pollutants.

Photocatalytic reductive amination of biomass-derived aldehydes is a desirable way to selectively upgrade biomass into value-added nitrogen-containing chemicals under mild conditions. However, it is challenging to produce imines in high selectivity because of the undesirable side reactions caused by the activity of functional groups. Here, we demonstrate the highly reactive and selective production of imines from biomass derived aldehydes via the photocatalytic reductive amination, using a defective TiO 2 supported nickel catalyst. The employment of methanol as the hydrogen donor and ammonia solution as the nitrogen source avoids the use of high-pressure H 2 and expensive amines, rendering the current catalytic process safe, economical, and environmentally friendly. In depth investigations attribute the improved separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carriers to the presence of oxygen vacancies and decorated Ni nanoparticles, thereby accelerating the production of imines from benzaldehyde amination (conversion, 95.8%; selectivity, 95.2%). Furthermore, the developed system could be easily translated to the photocatalytic conversions of various biomass derived aldehydes, which provided an example of a cost-effective and sustainable approach for the valorization of biomass derived feedstocks.

Ni-Co-O material is the most representative polymetallic compound and has exhibited excellent energy storage properties. However, the high cost of composite restricts the practical application of Ni-Co-O material. In this paper, a simple and low-cost method is used to grow Ni-Co-O/C nanoarrays directly on a conductive matrix. The results show that the three-dimensional nanoflower-like Ni-Co-O/C composite has better electrochemical performance than that of the nanosheet Co-O/C binary composite. This microstructure provides a shorter path for electron transport, making the material high electron transport efficiency. The specific capacitance of Ni-Co-O/C/AC asymmetric supercapacitor can reach 128.75 mF cm −2 at 2 mA cm −2 . Under the condition of 20 mA cm −2 , after 4000 cycles of charge and discharge, the capacitance retention rate is maintained at 99.8 %. This 3D flower-like structure not only helps provide an open framework and rapid ion diffusion, but also exposes more active sites and enhances charge storage performance. Ni-Co-O/C calcined in nitrogen shows more abundant defect structure and larger specific surface area, which is further conducive to Ni-Co-O/C electrodes to expose more active sites and enhance the rapid diffusion and reaction of electrolyte ions .

The prominent size effects of metal nanoparticles (NPs) are mainly reflected in the change of electronic and geometric properties, which may induce distinct catalytic performance of the catalyst. Herein, Ni/SAPO-11 bifunctional catalysts with controllable sizes of Ni NPs were synthesized to investigate the particle size effects in n-hexane hydroisomerization. The results show that decreasing Ni particle size from 11.7 to 5.3 nm increases the concentration of surface Ni atoms and the proportion of low-coordinated Ni sites (corner, step sites) by 1.7 and 1.5 times, respectively. The low-coordinated surface Ni atoms have rich dangling bonds and high surface energy, resulting in greatly improved H 2 adsorption and activation abilities. Moreover, an increased proportion of low-coordinated Ni sites within the Ni cluster shifts the d-band center upward, further enhancing the adsorption and activation of reactants. The intrinsic catalytic activity (turnover frequency) of 5.3 nm Ni NPs is ca. 2 times as much as that of the 11.7 nm ones. Besides, the smaller Ni NPs enhanced the metal–acid synergy, leading to a higher selectivity to isomers. This work provides deep insights into the metal particle size effects over the bifunctional Ni/SAPO-11 hydroisomerization catalysts and can be extended to various metal supported catalysts.

This study investigated the electrodeposition of a three-dimensional nanocone-shaped surface structure on SUS304 stainless steel substrates. Different electrodeposition parameters were adopted to generate nanocone-shaped Ni coatings. A detailed description of the coating microstructure and composition is proposed to understand how Ni nanocones develop throughout electrodeposition. A series of wetting tests compared the superhydrophobicity of the Ni nanocone coating. Wear tests were used to verify their mechanical stability. The best superhydrophobic and mechanical performance is achieved after 25 min electrodeposition, where the newly formed Ni nanocones grow to provide additional air cushion to support surface water droplets and promote wear resistance. The superhydrophobic Ni coating also has good anti-icing properties. Water droplets begin to freeze from the contact points between the water and the sample surface. Surface damage, such as scratches and holes, reduces superhydrophobic samples' anti-icing properties.

A highly active difunctional Ni-Mg 2 Si/γ-Al 2 O 3 was prepared by thermally decomposing nickel tetracarbonyl onto γ-Al 2 O 3 impregnated with Mg 2 Si. The non-catalytic hydroconversion (NCHC) and catalytic hydroconversion (CHC) of the extract ( E ) and extraction residue (ER) from Yinggemajianfeng lignite were investigated over Ni-Mg 2 Si/γ-Al 2 O 3 at 240 °C in n -hexane. Benzyloxybenzene and oxybis(methylene)dibenzene were used as lignite-related model compounds to speculate the possible mechanisms for the catalytic hydrocracking and hydrogenation over Ni-Mg 2 Si/γ-Al 2 O 3 . As a result, more organic matter in ER was converted to soluble portion (SP) by the CHC than by the NCHC. The main SP from the CHC are chain alkanes and cyclanes, while that from the NCHC is rich in arenes and oxygen-containing organic compounds. The results indicate that Ni-Mg 2 Si/γ-Al 2 O 3 effectively catalyze the hydrocracking of >C alk –O– linkages and the hydrogenation of aromatic rings in E and ER.

The purpose of this study is to prepare porous Zn-Ni coating with high infrared emissivity at a lower current density (1 A/cm 2 ) by using dynamic hydrogen bubble template (DHBT) method. Three types of ceramic micro-particles (Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 and TiO 2 ) are introduced into the electrolyte to investigate their effects on the surface morphology and infrared emissivity of Zn-Ni coating. The results show that uniform porous coatings can be obtained when these micro-particles are added into the electrolyte. The suspended micro-particles in electrolyte can prevent the H 2 bubbles from rising up and escaping from the cathode, which is beneficial to the formation of porous structure, especially the insulating micro-particles, Al 2 O 3 and SiO 2 . The uniform porous structure containing ceramic micro-particles is beneficial to improve infrared emissivity. In addition, the infrared emissivity of porous composite coating is also significantly dependents on the type of ceramic particles inside pores. Among the three types of micro-particles, TiO 2 micro-particles have the greatest effect on the improvement of infrared emissivity which is increased from 0.83 to 0.91 when TiO 2 micro-particles are deposited into the Zn-Ni coating.

Adding metal phase as the electronic transport channels in mixed protonic and electronic conductors is an effective method to enhance the conductivity and hydrogen permeability. Ceramic-metal (cermet) Ni-BaCe 0.85 Fe 0.15 O 3-δ (Ni-BCF8515) dual-phase membranes were successfully fabricated in this article, where BaCe 0.85 Fe 0.15 O 3-δ (BCF8515) served as the protonic conductor and Ni acted as the electronic conductor. The hydrogen permeability of Ni-BCF8515 dual-phase membrane was improved apparently, reaching 0.325 mL min −1 cm −2 at 1000 °C, which is four times higher than that of the single phase BCF8515 membrane. Hydrogen permeability of Ni-BCF8515 dual-phase membrane under different hydration conditions was studied here. Moreover, Ni-BCF8515 dual-phase membrane showed stable hydrogen permeability under the reducing atmosphere for 50 h.

A series of nickel sulfides derived from the hexagonal Ni-MOF are vulcanized through adjusting the hydrothermal time and the thiourea concentration. Among all the obtained nickel sulfides, one sample Ni-S2-3, which inherits the Ni-MOF’s morphology, shows the best electrochemical performance with a remarkable specific capacitance of 1128 Fg − 1 at 1 Ag − 1 , a rate capacitance of 50% and a long cycle life of 74% retention after 5000 cycles. Furthermore, the asymmetrical supercapacitors (SCs) based on Ni-S2-3//AC exhibit a good supercapacitive performance with a maximum power density of 16.3 Wh kg − 1 at a power density of 800 Wkg − 1 . All these results indicate that vulcanizing Ni-MOF is an effective way to fabricate a superior electrode material with excellent electrochemical performance for SCs.

In this work, a ceria promoted Ni-based catalyst supported in mesoporous montmorillonite (MMT) was developed and evaluated in ethanol steam reforming . This Ni-Ce/MMT catalyst was synthesized by an ultrasound assisted cation exchange impregnation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, N 2 adsorption–desorption, H 2 temperature-programmed reduction and transmission electron microscopy. TEM images of Ni-Ce/MMT presented that narrow Ni nanoparticles (av. 6.0 nm) were uniformly deposited within the mesoporous MMT support. This was attributed to the strong interaction between Ni and ceria and the confinement effect from the framework of MMT support. The catalytic activity and stability of Ni-Ce/MMT were studied in steam ethanol reforming and compared with Ni/MMT. The higher ethanol conversion and H 2 selectivity of Ni-Ce/MMT demonstrated the addition of ceria facilities the reaction of ethanol steam reforming. Additionally, the ethanol conversion was much more stable on Ni-Ce/MMT than on Ni/MMT during a long-term ethanol steam reforming reaction, illustrating that the catalyst deactivation was preferably suppressed with the help of ceria. In short, the Ni-Ce/MMT is a promising catalyst for ethanol steam reforming owing to the remarkable effect of ceria as well as the confinement effect of MMT support which can effectively suppress the Ni sintering and carbon deposition .
