Developing effective and economical materials for emerging electrochemical remediation of persistent organic pollutants has attracted significant research interest. In this study, a heteromorphic self-standing nickel foam@Ni(OH)2/MnO2 (NF@Ni(OH)2/MnO2) electrode was synthesized by a simple solvothermal method and employed for the remediation of persistent organic pollutants. The prepared NF@Ni(OH)2/MnO2 electrode exhibited better performance for the electro-catalytic degradation of tetracycline (TC) than that of the NF and NF@Ni(OH)2. In optimized conditions, the NF@Ni(OH)2/MnO2 electrode exhibited the highest TC degradation efficiency (90%) and total organic carbon(TOC) removal (59.02%) among the prepared electrodes. In addition, a higher mineralization current efficiency (MCE) and lower energy consumption (EC) for the NF@Ni(OH)2/MnO2 electrode was achieved. The enhancement occurs primarily because the active MnO2 anchored to the porous and highly conductive Ni foam substrate surface boosts the electron transfer and the generation of hydroxyl radicals, as proved by a free radical trapping experiment and fluorescence spectrum analysis. This study suggests the possibility of a new paradigm in designing effective and practical electro-Fenton electrodes for environmental remediation.

Highly efficient and low-cost non-noble metal based electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) have attracted more and more attention in recent years. However, the current research has been focused on the construction of novel OER electrocatalysts themselves, little attention has been paid to the modification of the substrates. In this work, a different strategy is proposed via laser ablation to fabricate the Cu foams with rich micro/nano-structures as OER substrates. Later, the precipitation conversion method was utilized to grow cobalt hydroxide on the laser fabricated Cu foams. The as-produced Cu/Cu oxides/Co(OH)2 electrocatalysts exhibit high OER activity in 1 M KOH, requiring an overpotential of only 259 mV at a current density of 50 mA cm−2 with excellent mild-term durability. The improved catalytic performance of the prepared samples can be attributed to the increased surface area, rich active sites, and the superhydrophilicity of the laser produced micro/nano-structures.

The Mn-doped Ni(OH)2 nanostructures were obtained by a simple ion-exchange hydrothermal method. The as-prepared materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDXS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) for their morphological, composition and structural properties. As a material for modified electrodes, electrochemical tests demonstrate that the methanol oxidation peak current density of Mn-doped Ni(OH)2 nanostructures reached 14.18 mA cm−2 at 0.596 V (vs Ag/AgCl) in NaOH electrolyte. Similarly, the Mn-doped Ni(OH)2 nanostructures also maintained good electrocatalytic stability during the term of 36,000 s. The improvement of electrochemical performance is related to the introduction of Mn element in Ni(OH)2. It may promote Ni in the Mn-doped Ni(OH)2 nanostructures to carry the lower electron density and the higher oxidation state which may be responsible for the better performance toward methanol oxidation.

A new [Co21(H2O)4(OH)12]30+ unit-incorporating polyoxotungstate, Na18[Co(H2O)6]2{[Na(H2O)4]2[Na(H2O)2]2[Co(H2O)3]2[Co21(H2O)4(OH)12](SiW10O37)6}·24H2O (denoted as Co25Si6W60), has been hydrothermally synthesized and fully characterized via elemental analyses, thermogravimetric analysis, bond valence sum (BVS) calculations, IR spectrum, UV-vis spectrum, diffuse reflectance spectrum, powder X-ray diffraction and single-crystal structural analysis. The most remarkable feature is that the gigantic [Co21(H2O)4(OH)12(SiW10O37)6]30− core in Co25Si6W60 is composed of a square-like [Co21(H2O)4(OH)12]30+ nanosheet encapsulated by six dilacunary Keggin [α-SiW10O37]10− moieties in a staggered fashion, resulting in a remarkable sandwich-type assembly. Furthermore, the unique Co25Si6W60-based biosensing system, as a simple, rapid, and highly sensitive electrochemical platform, offers an environmentally friendly route for detecting dichlorvos in the field of both food safety and environmental pollution.

Abstract The NiHPO 4 –Ni(OH) 2 nanowire-assembled bouquets were easily synthesized. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy show the NiHPO 4 –Ni(OH) 2 bouquets form through the organization of nanowires which arrange with certain direction. The electrocatalytic activities of NiHPO 4 –Ni(OH) 2 –GCE towards the oxidation of methanol and urea were studied in NaOH. The nanowire-assembled bouquets were modified on the surface of the glassy carbon electrode, leading to the increase on the surface area of the electrode, which in turn enhanced the current density and electrocatalytic performance for the oxidation of methanol and urea. It shows the potential applications for the utilization of these energy molecules. Graphic abstract

Based on the strong adsorption of the diphosphate group to Fe and Al ions, first, the Fe 3 O 4 and Al (OH) 3 nanoparticles were modified by alendronate sodium (ALN), and organic phosphorus coated nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 -ALN and Al (OH) 3 -ALN) with the active group ─NH 2 were prepared. Novel [ x Fe 3 O 4 –2 x Al(OH) 3 ]/waterborne polyurethane nanocomposite with superparamagnetism and excellent flame retardancy were prepared by in situ polymerization. The experimental results showed that when the content of Fe 3 O 4 -ALN increased, the M s increased. And the saturation magnetization reached 14.35 emu/g when the Fe 3 O 4 -ALN content was 10 wt%. The nanoparticle network formed by Fe 3 O 4 and Al (OH) 3 can prevent the melting deformation of waterborne polyurethane (WPU) composite film and reduce the burning area. And the dual physical protective layer formed by nanoparticle network and char layer can prevent the combustible gas contacting with oxygen and giving off combustion heat, which effectively reduced the heat and smoke gas release. When the content of x Fe 3 O 4 –2 x Al(OH) 3 was 20 wt%, the oxygen index of the composite was 28.4%, and the flame retardancy of nanocomposite was classified as V-0 rating in the UL-94 test.

Ammonia (NH3) is a common air pollutant and is a biomarker for kidney disease. Therefore, the preparation of ammonia gas sensors with high sensitivity, good selectivity and low operating temperature is of great importance for health protection. Using the in situ electrostatic self-assembly approach, a chemoresistive gas sensor based on Co(OH)2/Ti3C2Tx hybrid material was created in this study. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD, XPS, TEM, BET and other testing methods for structure, surface topography and elements. These samples were fabricated into sensors, and the gas sensing properties of the materials were investigated under different test conditions. The results show that the gas response value of the C/M-2 sensor is up to about 14.7%/100 ppm, which is three times the response value of the sensor made of pure MXene to NH3. In addition, the Co(OH)2/Ti3C2Tx hybrid sensors exhibit excellent repeatability, high sensitivity under low concentration (less than 5 ppm), fast response/recovery time (29 s/49 s) and long-time stability, which indicates their promising utility in the IoT field.

Increasing plastic waste is environmentally and biologically detrimental, and converting plastic waste into value-added chemicals and fuels by electrocatalytic methods is recognized as an up-cycling process that facilitates resource utilization. Here, we report a generalized medium entropy metal oxide Ni 0.5 Ce 0.5 Co 2 O 4 induced *OH species targeted transfer strategy to selectively electrocatalytic upgrade various polyester plastics into value-added chemicals under alkaline conditions. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was upgraded to potassium diformate with high Faraday efficiency (95 %) and selectivity (>91 %) at a high current density of 343 mA cm −2 , generating both terephthalic acid and hydrogen. The synergistic interplay between Ni and Ce in Ni 0.5 Ce 0.5 Co 2 O 4 facilitates the adsorption of ethylene glycol molecules and hydroxide ions, prompting the directionally oriented hydroxyl (*OH) to partake in the oxidation of ethylene glycol, thereby fostering the oxidation of hydrolyzed PET products. This work not only develops an excellent electrocatalyst for the upcycling of various polyester plastics but also guides the design of medium entropy metal oxides as electrocatalysts.

The electrocatalytic oxidation of urea (EOU) is an important half-reaction in water splitting, urea fuel cells, and urea wastewater treatment. The anions of nickel-based catalysts can be leached severely in the oxidation potential range. Therefore, the influence of anion on the electrocatalytic performance of Ni(OH) 2 /NiOOH for urea oxidation has not been systematically studied. The present experimental results show that the structure reconstruction of catalyst is a complicated process, specifically including deep penetration by alkaline electrolyte, leaching-induced oxidation by phosphorus or sulfur anions, transformation or cracking of the original structure, and formation of an amorphous layer on the surface. The reconstructed NF-NiP x -R or NF-NiS x -R has a three-layer core-shell structure, with a nickel foam skeleton in the innermost layer, an amorphous NiP x or NiS x layer in the middle layer, the outermost layer of oxygen-containing anion (PO x or SO x ) coordinated Ni(OH) 2 . In the prepared catalyst, the Ni(OH) 2 /NiOOH redox is the real catalytic species for the urea oxidation. It is found that the oxygen-containing anion can enhance the catalytic performance of the Ni(OH) 2 /NiOOH redox, and PO x anion has the best enhancing effect. It is found that the urea molecules are oxidized on the electrocatalyst surface mainly through an indirect pathway.

Developing efficient and inexpensive catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is critical for the commercial viability of electrochemical sustainable energy technologies. In this study, a La-CoP/Co(OH)2 nanoarray supported on nickel foam (NF) was successfully prepared using the secondary hydrothermal and low-temperature phosphating method. The as-prepared La-CoP/Co(OH)2/NF material exhibited excellent hydrogen evolution performance in 1 M KOH solution. The overpotential of La-CoP/Co(OH)2/NF was 114 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm−2, and the Tafel slope was estimated to be 99 mV dec−1. The decoration of Co(OH)2 nanosheets on La-CoP nanorods with the textured surface not only provides a large surface area and more active sites but also promotes the transfer of electrons between Co(OH)2 and La-CoP, which accelerates the reaction rate and further improve the HER performance of the composite material. Additionally, the fabricated catalyst exhibits good stability and durability in alkaline media. This approach provides a feasible and effective strategy for exploring electrocatalysts with high efficiency and low prices for the electrolysis of water.

Although magnesium alloys have been effectively used in industry, they have weak corrosion resistance. Herein, robust Ni-thiolate coordination polymer Mg(OH) 2 coatings were prepared by an oxidation-hydrolysis-coordination (OHC) strategy to make AZ31 magnesium alloy highly resistant to corrosion in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The OHC process includes three steps: I) oxidation of AZ31 to produce AZ31@MgO; II) hydrolysis of MgO to produce Mg(OH) 2 , cation exchange between Mg(OH) 2 and Ni(II) to produce Mg–Ni LDH; III) coordination of Ni(OH) 2 from Mg–Ni LDH by the 1,4-Benzenedithiol (BDT) ligand to produce LDH-BDT coatings. Potentiodynamic polarization, EIS, and in situ SRET in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution were used to assess the hybrid coating's anti-corrosion performance. Surprisingly, LDH-BDT coating achieves excellent corrosion inhibition performance (99.9999%) with the i corr of 1.926 × 10 −10 A cm −2 , which is six orders of magnitude lower than that of AZ31 substrate, this is due to the cooperative effect, such as the physical protection provided by thick LDH-BDT coatings and the hydrophobic properties of Ni(II)-BDT coordination polymers. This study provides fresh insight into the fabrication of Mg(OH) 2 -based coatings modified with Ni-thiolate complex to significantly improve Mg alloys' resistance to corrosion.

The solid–liquid phase equilibria of the Ba2+//Cl–, S2–, and OH––H2O quaternary system and its three subternary systems at 298.15 K are studied via the isothermal solubility phase equilibrium method. The solubility data, liquid properties of density and pH, and phase diagrams of the ternary and quaternary systems are obtained. Solid species of Ba(OH)2·8H2O, BaCl2·2H2O, Ba(OH)Cl·2H2O, and BaS exist in the quaternary system and corresponding ternary systems at 298.15 K. The four solid species build up two invariant points, one disproportionate and one proportionate, and four phase regions. The largest phase area is covered by Ba(OH)·8H2O, and the lowest water point is the proportionate invariant point saturated by BaCl2·2H2O, Ba(OH)Cl·2H2O, and BaS.
