Biomass-derived furfural and its derivatives are promising feedstocks for producing valuable C 5 diols by catalytic hydrolysis. However, this process requires selective ring opening of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) to 1,5-pentanediol, which is challenging. Here we report efficient route for this conversion using Ni-La(OH) 3 catalysts prepared by a green co-precipitation-hydrothermal method. We show that these catalysts can achieve up to 91.7% yield and 94.6% selectivity of 1,5-pentanediol from THFA under mild conditions. We elucidate the key role of the La(OH) 3 phase, the basic sites and the Ni n+ -O-La 3+ structure of the catalysts in promoting the selective hydrogenolysis and ring opening of THFA. We also demonstrate that the co-dehydrogenation of secondary alcohols enables lower reaction pressure and longer catalyst lifetime. Our work provides a sustainable and environmentally benign approach for producing 1,5-pentanediol from biomass-based furfural and its derivatives, which has potential applications in polymer synthesis and green chemistry.

Because of their inherent ionic properties, inorganic cesium halide lead perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are normally unstable in light and heat environments as well as polar solvents, which seriously limit their practical application. In this paper, AlO(OH) nanosheets were assembled into hollow mesoporous spheres to encapsulate CsPbX3 NCs for increasing stability according to the powerful adsorption of AlO(OH) on Pb ions. The hollow AlO(OH) assemblies were created via hydrothermal synthesis. The in situ growth of CsPbX3 NCs in AlO(OH) assemblies was then finished in dimethylformamide solutions. After encapsulation, the stability of the NCs was greatly improved and the exchange reaction of halogen ions was effectively prevented. The NCs in the assemblies exhibited high PL quantum yields (PLQYs). Namely, blue-, green-, and red-emitting CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, and I)@AlO(OH) composites were fabricated. The composites were further mixed with polystyrene (PS) to prepare a flexible photoluminescent (PL) film with excellent bendable and foldable properties. The initial PLQYs of blue-, green-, and red-emitting CsPbX3@AlO(OH) composites were found to be 48.2, 96.4, and 43.7%, respectively. The films revealed high stability against water because of the excellent hydrophobic properties of PS. These emitting films were made into bands of various shapes, in which their well-flexible nature endowed the films with important applications.

Graphical GO-Cu 2 (OH) 3 NO 3 composite is prepared by using thermal calcination method. The composite exhibits larger specific surface area and stronger heterogeneous catalysis activity than those of Cu 2 (OH) 3 NO 3 . Under optimal conditions, ferulic acid could be degraded efficiently by heterogeneous process catalyzed by the composite. The environmental-friendly composite exhibits stable chemical properties, which could be reused and recycled successfully. Graphene oxide (GO)-Cu 2 (OH) 3 NO 3 composite was prepared by a thermal calcination process and evaluated as an effective heterogeneous catalytic material. The composite displayed prominent activated performance to persulfate, which was influenced by preparation condition and the reaction parameters in catalytic system. Under optimal reactive conditions, the GO-Cu 2 (OH) 3 NO 3 composite yielded rapid degradation of ferulic acid, which the corresponding apparent rate constant was 1.12×10 −1 min −1 . Catalytic mechanism analysis showed that the main oxygen species were ⋅SO 4 − and ⋅OH. Among them, ⋅OH made the main contribution in the catalytic system. The analysis of degradation intermediates of ferulic acid showed that the compound could be mineralized to small molecules. The remarkable enhanced heterogeneous catalytic performance of GO-Cu 2 (OH) 3 NO 3 was due to a larger specific surface area, high adsorption capacity and a high mass transfer efficiency of oxidizing radicals in the reactive system.

The synthesis of highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts with uniformly dispersed noble metal particles and a suitable size is crucial for various industrial applications. However, the high cost and rarity of noble metals limit their economic efficiency, making it essential to improve the catalytic performance with lower noble metal loading. Herein, a two-step method was developed for the synthesis of uniformly dispersed ~3 nm Pt nanoparticles (NPs), strongly anchored on Ni(OH)2nanosheets (NSs), which was proven by adequate structural characterizations. XPS analysis demonstrated that Ni(OH)2NSs with abundant oxygen vacancies provided sufficient anchor sites for Pt NPs and prevented their agglomeration. The catalytic performance of Ptn/Ni(OH)2(n (represents the addition amount of Pt precursors during the synthesis, μmol) = 5, 10, 15, and 20) NSs with controllable Pt loading were evaluated via the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol as a model reaction. The Pt10/Ni(OH)2NSs exhibited the best activity and stability, with a reaction rate constant of 0.02358 s−1and negligible deterioration in ten reaction cycles. This novel synthetic method shows potentials for the synthesis of highly efficient noble-metal-supported catalysts for heterogeneous catalysis.Keywords:Pt/Ni(OH)2nanosheets;oxygen vacancy;heterogeneous catalysis;reduction of 4-nitrophenol

Nitrogen-enriched graphene coupled with nickel hydroxide nanosheets (Ni(OH) 2 /NG) hydrogel is successfully synthesized through a facile one-pot hydrothermal method . Comprehensive investigations reveal that the nitrogen atoms are successfully inserted into graphene and that the nickel hydroxide nanosheets (∼30–50 nm) are anchored on NG homogeneously. With the enhanced electroactivity caused by nitrogen doping and the synergy effect from Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets and NG, the Ni(OH) 2 /NG hydrogel electrode displays much better electrochemical properties than two individual electrodes. It features a specific capacitance as high as 896 F g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 and even 504 F g −1 at 12 A g −1 showing a high rate capability (56.3% retention with 24 times higher current density). An asymmetric supercapacitor device on the basic of Ni(OH) 2 /NG hydrogel and activated carbon (AC) was assembled and delivered a high energy density of 28.7 W h kg −1 at the power energy density of 0.36 kW kg −1 . Such results indicate that the Ni(OH) 2 /NG hydrogel could be considered as a promising candidate for electrochemical supercapacitors .

As an excellent electrode material for supercapacitors, it should have high capacitance like transition metal oxides and good stability like carbon materials. In this work, we reported a novel composite electrode material, Co-Ni(OH)2/carbon sphere, obtained by a solvothermal method. At first, the activated carbon spheres with an uniform size of about 4µm were synthesized, and then the sheet-like Co-Ni(OH)2 adsorbed on the cracks and outer surface of the carbon spheres to form the Co-Ni(OH)2/carbon sphere composite. The influence of mass ratio of Co-Ni(OH)2 to carbon spheres on capacitance performance was investigated. Benefitting from the unique composite structure, the synthesized Co-Ni(OH)2/carbon sphere presents a high specific capacitance up to 959.7 F/g in 6 M KOH at current density of 1 A/g. Meanwhile, the capacitance retention maintains its 75% after 3000 cycles, which is about 2.8 times higher than that of the pure Co-Ni(OH)2, indicating a good stability.

A nanoscale petal-like α-Ni(OH) 2 /reduced graphene oxide (α-Ni(OH) 2 /RGO) composite was synthesized with the one-step microwave method. α-Ni(OH) 2 particles with sizes of approximately 200 nm are uniformly distributed on the reduced graphene oxide sheet in the sample. When used as an electrode for alkaline rechargeable batteries, the discharge capacity of the α-Ni(OH) 2 /RGO composite reaches 333.5 mAh/g at 0.2C and 247.1 mAh/g at 10 C, respectively, with an excellent rate capability. After 2000 cycles, the capacity of the electrode is insignificantly attenuated, indicating a high capacity retention and cycling stability. The outstanding electrochemical properties are attributed to the nanoscale petal-like structure α-Ni(OH) 2 anchoring on the RGO sheets, which facilitates ion diffusion and increases the active surface, which is effectively reacting with the electrolyte. The nanoscale petal-like electrode material fabricated in this study provides clues to address the problem of energy applications of high-performance alkaline rechargeable batteries.

In this study, Fe/Cu bimetal composite was prepared by high-energy ball milling (BM) method for the removal of refractory organics. The BM Fe/Cu bimetal was characterized by SEM-EDS, XRD, and XPS. Evenly distributed Fe and Cu was observed in the EDS mapping. In contrasting experiments, the removal rate of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) by BM Fe/Cu materials was about 10-fold faster than that by chemical substitution deposition (CSD) of Fe/Cu material. Complete 4-CP removal and 66.7% of total organic carbon (TOC) mineralization in the BM Fe/Cu–O 2 system were achieved. Dissolved oxygen plays a crucial role for 4-CP degradation through the in situ generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as H 2 O 2 , ·OH, and via oxygen activation reactions. The predominant reactive radicals were identified to be and ·OH through ESR technique and inhibition experiments. The coexistence of oxidation and reduction of 4-CP in the BM Fe/Cu-O 2 system was proposed. Practitioner points 4-CP removal rate by BM Fe/Cu is 10-fold faster than that by CSD Fe/Cu at the same conditions. Complete 4-CP removal and 66.7% of TOC reduction were achieved. All three ROS including ·OH, , and H 2 O 2 coexisted in the BM Fe/Cu-O 2 system. A harmonious coexistence of oxidation and reduction mechanism was proposed.

The exploration of earth-abundant and high-efficiency electrocatalysts for water oxidation is of great significance for sustainable energy conversion. Co–Mo-based bimetallic oxides are considered as promising candidates for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to their high intrinsic activity and low cost. In this work, we reported an interfacial engineering design of CoMoO4 nanoplate arrays wrapped with Ni(OH)2 nanosheets supported on Ni foam for high-performance OER. Remarkably, benefiting from the hierarchical heterostructure arrays with strong interfacial interaction, enlarged surface areas, and more active sites, the optimized CoMoO4-Ni(OH)2 electrocatalyst manifests the excellent OER catalytic performance with a low overpotential of 349 mV at the current density of 100 mA cm–2, a long-term stability, and high (nearly 100%) Faradaic efficiency, which is superior to those of most previously reported Co–Mo-based bimetallic oxides electrocatalysts. Therefore, this interfacial engineering demonstrates an effective strategy for designing and fabricating high-performance electrocatalysts for OER reaction.

Cu(OH) 2 nanowires were prepared and incorporated into poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) to fabricate Cu(OH) 2 -PVDF ultrafiltration (UF) membrane via immersion precipitation phase inversion process. The effect of Cu(OH) 2 nanowires on the morphology of membranes was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. The results showed that all the Cu(OH) 2 -PVDF membranes had wider fingerlike pore structure and better hydrophilicity, smoother surface than pristine PVDF membrane due to the incorporation of Cu(OH) 2 nanowires. In addition, water flux and bovine serum albumin (BSA) rejection were also measured to investigate the filtration performance of membranes. The results indicated that all the Cu(OH) 2 -PVDF membranes had high water flux, outstanding BSA rejection and excellent antifouling properties. It is worth mentioning that the optimized performance could be obtained when the Cu(OH) 2 nanowires content reached 1.2 wt%. Furthermore, the membrane with 1.2 wt% Cu(OH) 2 nanowires showed outstanding oil-water emulsion separation capability.
