CoFeP-Ni nanorods provide a large electrochemical active surface area. • CoFeP-Ni only need 55 mV for HER and 180 mV for OER to reach 10 mA cm −2 • CoFeP-Ni needs 1.443 V to acquire 10 mA cm −2 for overall water splitting. • CoFeP-Ni exhibits outstanding stability and durability for both HER and OER. The engineering of robust, inexpensive bifunctional non-precious electrocatalysts exhibiting both high efficiency and operational stability is essential for scalable water splitting systems toward sustainable energy conversion. This study developed Fe and Ni co-doped CoFeP-Ni nanorods through a hydrothermal phosphidation approach. The as-synthesized CoFeP-Ni nanorods demonstrate exceptional bifunctional electrocatalytic performance, achieving remarkably low overpotentials of merely 55 mV for HER and 180 mV for OER at 10 mA cm −2 , along with exhibiting outstanding prolonged stability. The CoFeP-Ni catalyst demonstrates superior water-splitting performance in a two-electrode system, achieving industrially relevant current densities (10/100 mA cm −2 ) at competitively lower voltages (1.443/1.692 V), eclipsing the Pt/C||RuO 2 benchmark and existing non-noble metal catalysts. This study provides fundamental insights into bifunctional catalysts while offering a new strategy for developing stable, efficient, and economical first-row transition metal electrocatalysts based on transition metals.

We prepared Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni ribbons by arc-melting and subsequent melt-spinning techniques. Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni + x Mg ( x = 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3, wt.%) composite alloys were obtained by the mechanical ball-milling method. The structures and hydrogen storage properties of alloys were investigated. Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni + x Mg composite alloys contained icosahedral quasicrystalline phase, Ti 2 Ni-type phase, β-Ti solid-solution phase and metallic Mg. The electrochemical and gaseous hydrogen storage properties of alloys were improved with Mg addition. Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni + 2 Mg alloy showed maximum electrochemical discharge capacity of 282.5 mAh g −1 as well as copacetic high-rate discharge ability of 82.3% at the discharge current density of 240 mA g −1 compared with that of 30 mA g −1 , and the cycling life achieved above 200 mAh g −1 after 50 consecutive cycles of charging and discharging. The hydrogen absorption/desorption properties of Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni + x Mg ( x = 1, 2 and 3, wt.%) alloys were better than Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni. Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni + 3 Mg alloy also exhibited a favorable hydrogen absorption capacity of 1.53 wt.%. The improvement in the hydrogen storage characteristics caused by adding Mg may be ascribed to better hydrogen diffusion and anti-corrosion ability.

β-Ni(OH) 2 with good crystallinity is grown on the surface of the flower-like α-Ni(OH) 2 to form a 3D α@β-Ni(OH) 2 material by a two-step hydrothermal method . The synthesized β-Ni(OH) 2 is nanometer size and strong alkali stability, while the α-Ni(OH) 2 has a large specific surface, high specific capacity and good electrical conductivity , so there are multiple synergistic effects between the β-Ni(OH) 2 coating and the α-Ni(OH) 2 core. Coupled with a 3D flower-like structure, the obtained α@β-Ni(OH) 2 electrode shows a high capacity of 431 mAh g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 . Furthermore, we use the α@β-Ni(OH) 2 electrode and the activated carbon (AC) electrode to assemble an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device. This ASC shows the excellent energy density of 53 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 875 W kg −1 and capacity retention rate of 78% after 5000 cycles. Finally, metal hydride (MH) is used to replace the AC negative electrode, and a cell with a high energy density of 100.17 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 424.75 W kg −1 is obtained. The results show that α@β-Ni(OH) 2 electrode has better electrochemical performance than commercial electrodes and has application prospects in energy storage.

The development of composite materials is a key area of research for enhancing the electrochemical performance of electrode materials. In this study, NiCo–S nanostructured hybrid electrode materials were prepared on nickel foam (NF) by using binary metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as the sacrificial template through a two-step hydrothermal method. Ni–MOF was then deposited on the surface of NiCo–S/NF through the hydrothermal method and subsequently converted into Ni(OH) 2 through a subsequent alkalization treatment. The duration of the Ni–MOF hydrothermal process was varied as a parameter. NiCo–S@Ni–MOF/NF was prepared through hydrothermal reaction for 6 h, 9 h and 12 h, followed by heating in a 6 M KOH solution at 75 ∘ C for 6 h in a water bath. The electrode materials with the best morphology and electrochemical properties were obtained when the hydrothermal reaction time was 6 h. The optimized electrode had a specific capacity of 2533.2 F ⋅ g − 1 at 1 A ⋅ g − 1 and a capacity retention rate of 60.8% at 10 A ⋅ g − 1 , which indicated good rate performance. Additionally, the electrode material demonstrated excellent cycling stability, with a capacity retention rate of 95.3% after 5000 cycles at 50 mV ⋅ s − 1 . The energy density of the hybrid supercapacitor device assembled from this electrode material was 33.5 Wh ⋅ kg − 1 when the power density was 849.89 W ⋅ kg − 1 at a current density of 1 A ⋅ g − 1 .

The electrocatalytic co-reduction of nitrate (NO 3 − ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into urea represents a potential avenue for achieving efficient urea production. However, this process involves intricate C–N coupling reactions and faces a severe kinetic mismatch between the reduction pathways. This disparity typically leads to a disproportionate coverage of key C- and N-containing intermediates on the catalyst surface, resulting in dominant competitive side reactions. Herein, we report the design of a heterogeneous FeNi@AC catalyst that integrates isolated Fe single atoms and Fe–Ni dual-atom sites at the atomic scale, enabling the efficient conversion of NO 3 − and CO 2 into urea. Combined experimental and theoretical investigations reveal that the isolated Fe single-atom sites retain high nitrate reduction capability. Crucially, the introduction of Ni induces an electronic reconfiguration of the Fe center, which significantly lowers the energy barrier for CO 2 activation (from 0.7 eV to 0.1 eV). This activation effectively bridges the kinetic gap between C- and N-species. Consequently, the FeNi@AC catalyst achieves a urea yield rate of 13.6 mmol g –1 h –1 and a Faradaic efficiency of 51.7% at –0.8 V (vs RHE). This work not only presents an active catalyst for urea synthesis but also provides a site-specific regulation strategy for designing multifunctional atomic-site catalysts tailored for complex tandem reactions.

To improve the DRM reaction performance of the catalysts, a series of Co–Ni/WC-AC catalysts are prepared by impregnation using WC-AC as the support. The structural features of the fresh and spent catalysts are characterized by BET, XRD , H 2 -TPR, XPS and TG . The results show that the introduction of Ni in the 20Co/WC-AC catalyst promotes the conversion of W species to WC. Further, WC enhances the interaction between the active metal and the support. Thus, the activity and sintering resistance of Co–Ni/WC-AC catalysts are improved. It is also found that the introduction of different ratios of Ni has a significant effect on the chemical environment (oxygen environment) on the catalyst surface.10Co–10Ni/WC-AC catalysts showed high surface O α and O β contents of 26% and 53%, respectively. The catalyst shows excellent catalytic performance. The conversion of CH 4 and CO 2 is stable at about 84% and 85% at 800 °C.

This study examined the toxicities of Fe/Ni and starch-stabilized Fe/Ni (S-Fe/Ni) nanoparticles (NPs) toward Escherichia coli . The inactivation of E. coli by Fe/Ni NPs was concentration- and time-dependent. Fe/Ni NPs exhibited a stronger toxicity than the bare Fe 0 NPs (i.e., Ni = 0 wt%), revealing that the loading of Ni increased the toxicity of Fe 0 NPs. However, there was no positive correlation between Ni content and the toxicity of Fe/Ni NPs when Ni content increased from 1 wt% to 5 wt%. The starch coating could alleviate the toxicity of Fe/Ni NPs, depending on starch concentration. Transmission Electron Microscopy analysis demonstrates that membrane disruption and cellular internalization of NPs occurred for E. coli after exposure to the Fe/Ni NPs. The NPs might have reacted with the carboxyl, ester and amine groups on the cell surface, as indicated by the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy analysis. However, the S-Fe/Ni NPs did not cause obvious membrane disruption of the cells due to the effect of starch coating, which inhibited the close contact of NPs with cells by providing electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance. Besides, the addition of N-Acetyl-L-cysteine, as a potent scavenger for reactive oxygen species (ROS), remarkably reduced the toxicities of both Fe/Ni and S-Fe/Ni NPs, which indicated that the ROS-induced oxidative stress should be the primary mechanism for the inactivation of E. coli . The aging experiments evidenced that both Fe/Ni and S-Fe/Ni NPs would lose their toxic potential over time, posing less threat to the environment in the long term.

Ni(OH) 2 /CNTs/Ni(OH) 2 lamellar-crossing-nanostructure with a single lamellar spacing of ∼5 nm was effectively constructed through two-phase-interface reaction process followed by the CNTs crossed among the lamellar-nanostructured Ni(OH) 2 . The resultant nanocomposite can offer large active surface areas and short diffusion paths for electrons and ions, and is investigated as a potential pseudocapacitor electrode material for electrochemical energy storage applications. Electrochemical data demonstrate that the as-prepared nanocomposite exhibits a high specific capacitance of ∼1600 F g −1 at the scan rate of 1 mV s −1 in 6 M KOH solution at normal pressure and temperature, which is great higher than Ni(OH) 2 (∼1200 F g −1 ). Furthermore, Ni(OH) 2 /CNTs/Ni(OH) 2 nanocomposite shows a higher energy density (∼125 Wh kg −1 , 2 A g −1 ) and has a slightly decrease of 5% in specific capacitance after 1000 continuous charge/discharge cycles.

The production of cleaner gasoline requires reducing sulfur and olefin content in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) gasoline. Herein, Ni/ZSM-5@Ni/ZnO catalysts were synthesized by uniformly coating Ni/ZnO on the surface of Ni/ZSM-5 by electrostatic induced crystallization strategy for FCC gasoline desulfurization-aromatization tandem reactions. The desulfurization activity of Ni/ZSM-5@Ni/ZnO has superior desulfurization activity due to the smaller size of ZnO, higher O vacancy content, and more uniform dispersion of Ni and ZnO relative to the physically mixed Ni/ZSM-5-Ni/ZnO. In addition, coating Ni/ZnO on the surface of Ni/ZSM-5 can reduce the Brønsted acid content of Ni/ZSM-5, increase the Lewis/Brønsted acid value of the catalyst, which inhibits the excessive cracking of FCC gasoline, and improves the liquid yield and aromatics selectivity. After 8 h of reaction, the desulfurization rate, aromatics generation rate and olefin conversion rate of Ni/ZSM-5@Ni/ZnO were 85.58 %, 25.22 % and 49.08 % respectively, which were higher than those of physically mixed Ni/ZSM-5-Ni/ZnO catalysts by 25.34 %, 15.95, and 12.98 %, respectively. Meanwhile, the unique structure of Ni/ZSM-5@Ni/ZnO reduces carbon deposition and delays catalyst deactivation. Density functional theory calculations show that Ni/ZSM-5@Ni/ZnO was more favorable for thiophene desulfurization and has a better ability to adsorb and activate H 2 . This study provides a new idea for the development of catalysts for clean gasoline production.

Hydrogen energy has garnered significant attention due to its high calorific value and minimal environmental impact. However, the high-current electrolysis of water encounters challenges such as insufficient active sites and the disruptive effects from rapidly generated bubbles. In this paper, a small amount of water was introduced to modify the strong coordination ability of metal ions with organic ligands, and prepared 2D Ni MOFs. Subsequently, thin carbon-armed Ni-based catalysts (Ni@TC NPs) were prepared through nickel-assisted low-temperature pyrolysis. Unlike other 3D MOFs, the 2D MOF thin sheets prepared in this work can decompose at low temperatures due to its thin thickness, and the exposed Ni will accelerate the carbonization of surrounding organic groups, resulting in the formation of smaller and uniformly distributed thin carbon-armored Ni@TC NPs at lower temperature. Serving as a Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) electrocatalyst, Ni@TC NPs demonstrate exceptional electrocatalytic performance (low overpotential of 36.6 mV at 10 mA cm −2 , and low Tafel slope of 91.06 mV dec −1 ), and long-term stability (over 50 h at 440 mA cm −2 ). The electronic modulation between the thin carbon armor and the metal center endows Ni@TC NPs with excellent kinetic performance, while the carbon armor provides protection in alkaline environments. In addition, the small and dense bubbles that quickly escape greatly reduce the bubble shielding and oscillation effects on the electrode surface, enabling Ni@TC NPs to work stably under high currents.

Catalyst deactivation due to carbon deposition and sintering poses a significant challenge to the efficient dry reforming of CH 4 and CO 2 into syngas, particularly at high Ni loadings. To tackle this difficulty, ordered mesoporous silicas with varied pore symmetries were employed as supports in this study to synthesize the Ni-based catalysts using hydrothermal treatment. The 10% Ni/MCM-41 catalyst exhibited the highest conversion rates for CO 2 (81%) and CH 4 (77%), with favourable H 2 /CO (0.92) ratios indicating efficient syngas production Higher Ni concentrations increase active sites and catalytic performance, they also increase carbon deposition, reducing catalyst durability. At lower Ni loadings (4% Ni), catalysts with a 3D pore structure showed improved activity and stability, effectively reducing carbon deposition. This study demonstrates that optimized mesopore symmetries and Ni loadings can enhance catalyst efficiency and durability for syngas production.

Electrodes with high surface area, rapid charge transport, and mechanical robustness are essential for high-performance supercapacitors. In this study, a flexible Ni/Ni–Al layered double hydroxide/activated carbon cloth (Ni/Ni–Al–LDH/ACC) electrode was fabricated through a two-step process comprising potentiostatic Ni electrodeposition followed by hydrothermal growth of Ni–Al–LDH on ACC. The hybrid architecture enhanced ion diffusion and electron transport, leading to significantly improved electrochemical performance. The Ni/Ni–Al–LDH/ACC electrode delivered a high specific capacitance of 867.50 F/g@0.40 F/cm 2 at 7.00 mA/cm 2 , with an energy density of 27.00 Wh/kg and a power density of 3.33 × 10 3 W/kg, retaining 91.20% of its capacity during cycling. An aqueous asymmetric supercapacitor assembled using Ni/Ni–Al–LDH/ACC//ACC exhibited a specific capacitance of 7.68 F/g@0.74 F/cm 2 , together with an energy and power density of 1.91 Wh/kg@726.70 W/kg and a cycling stability of 86.50%. These results demonstrate the material’s strong potential as a low-cost, flexible, and high-efficiency electrode for next-generation energy-storage devices.
