SO x released from the combustion of sulfur-containing compounds in fuels pollute the environment and have a serious impact on human health. Adsorption desulfurization is an effective and environmentally friendly technique for removing sulfur-containing compounds from fuels. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have high specific surface areas and can be easily modified and functionalized, making them excellent candidates for adsorption desulfurization in fuels. In this work, the precursor MIL-100(Fe)-SA was prepared using the hydrothermal method , and the adsorbent Ni@MIL-100(Fe)-SA was obtained by doping Ni 2+ into the resulting MIL-100(Fe)-SA using the impregnation method. FT-IR, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms were used to analyze the samples. The results indicated that Ni 2+ was successfully loaded onto MIL-100(Fe)-SA, and the MOF's structure remained stable. The adsorption performance of benzothiophene and thiophene was evaluated through batch adsorption experiments. The adsorption capacities of Ni@MIL-100(Fe)-SA for thiophene and benzothiophene were 23.68 mg S/g and 49.58 mg S/g, respectively. These observations could be ascribed to the π-complexation interactions between Ni 2+ of the framework and thiophenic compounds. The regeneration experiments demonstrated that the spent 11Ni@MIL-100(Fe)-SA-1.5 reach 86% of the adsorption capacity of fresh adsorbent after four cycles. Additionally, the regenerated adsorbent maintained good crystallinity after recycling.

The mineralization of organic pollutant by O 3 is prone to be restricted by the accumulative production of oxalate (OA) that is recalcitrant to the attack of hydroxyl radical ( OH). Herein, it was interestingly found that the presence of 0.5 mM Ni(II) enhanced the mineralization efficiency of EDTA by O 3 under alkaline conditions by 22.8%, with the promoting effect of Ni(II) augmented as the increasing loading of Ni(II). Based on the results from scavenging experiment, chemical probe detection and XPS characterization, it was verified that except for the commonly recognized reactive oxidants (i.e., OH and O 3 ) in EDTA mineralization, the overlooked Ni(III) species (i.e., NiOOH) also played an indispensable role in enhancing the mineralization of EDTA. The Ni(III) species was formed via the oxidation of decomplexed Ni(II) by OH and in turn collaborated with OH to decompose EDTA. More importantly, the generated Ni(III) species exerted higher affinity towards OH and O 3 -resistent oxalate, hence elevating EDTA mineralization. This study elucidated the significant role of Ni(III) species in promoting the mineralization efficiency of EDTA, and also proposed a new insight into elevating the treatment performance of ozonation via the collaborative oxidation mechanism-co-mediated by OH and Ni(III) species.

The electrochemical water splitting to produce H 2 in high efficiency with earth-abundant-metal catalysts remains a challenge. Here, we describe a simple “cyclic voltammetry + ageing” protocol at room temperature to activate Ni electrode (AC-Ni/NF) for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), by which Ni/Ni(OH) 2 heterostructure is formed at the surface. In situ Raman spectroscopy reveals the gradual growth of Ni/Ni(OH) 2 heterostructure during the first 30 min of the aging treatment and combined with polarization measurements, it suggests a positive relation between the Ni/Ni(OH) 2 amount and HER performance of the electrode. The obtained AC-Ni/NF catalyst, with plentiful Ni–Ni(OH) 2 interfaces, exhibits remarkable performance towards HER, with the low overpotential of only 30 mV at a H 2 -evolving current density of 10 mA/cm 2 and 153 mV at 100 mA/cm 2 , as well as a small Tafel slope of 46.8 mV/dec in 1 M KOH electrolyte at ambient temperature. The excellent HER performance of the AC-Ni/NF could be maintained for at least 24 h without obvious decay. Ex situ experiments and in situ electrochemical-Raman spectroscopy along with density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that Ni/Ni(OH) 2 heterostructure, although partially reduced, can still persist during HER catalysis and it is the Ni–Ni(OH) 2 interface reducing the energy barrier of H∗ adsorption thus promoting the HER performance.

A highly efficient Ni–Mo bimetallic catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction can be obtained from a molybdate incorporated Ni-MOF by thermal decomposition in NH3. The catalyst is composed of crystalline Ni nanoparticles doped with amorphous low valence Mo oxide encapsulated in thin N-doped carbon layers, showing excellent HER performance, featuring a very low overpotential for the HER (η20 = 58 mV), low Tafel slope (57 mV dec−1) and excellent long term stability. The catalyst apparently outperforms N-doped carbon encapsulated Ni catalysts without Mo doping, emphasizing the critical synergetic effect of Mo doping and the surface N-doped carbon thin layer on promoting the performance of Ni based HER catalysts.

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.

Interface defects are one of the main factors for inefficient photoelectric conversion of nanocomposites, which is also suitable for the photocatalytic nanosystem containing photosensitizers and co-catalysts, so the efficient passivation of interface defects can enhance their photocatalytic performance. In this work, P-doped C3N4 (P–C3N4) was prepared by the thermal polymerization of urea with phytic acid as the P doping source. Then, the doped P atoms could act as anchoring sites for photodeposited Ni nanoparticles (NPs) on P–C3N4, and Ni–P–N bonds were spontaneously formed between Ni NPs and P–C3N4 with doped P as the bridging ligand. The optimal H2 evolution rate of P–C3N4/Ni-20 is 1.56 mmol g–1 h–1, which is 52.0 and 6.0 times that of C3N4 and C3N4/Ni-30, respectively, and even 2.0 times that of P–C3N4/Pt-2%. Its apparent quantum efficiency of 4.35% at 420 nm was 6.9 times that of reference C3N4/Ni-30 without P doping. The optimized interface transfer of carriers by the formed Ni–P–N bonds between P–C3N4 and Ni NPs was the main factor for the enhanced photocatalytic performance of C3N4.

Developing both high-performance and cost-effective hydrogenation catalysts is of strategic importance for advancing the industrialization of liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) technology. Herein, a series of Ni-based catalysts supported on Ni/Al mixed metal oxides (Ni/NiAl-MMO) are prepared by in-situ topotactic transformation of NiAl-LDH precursors. The synergistic enhancement mechanism, which is regulated by the Ni–Al interfacial interactions and the anchoring effect of precursors, is systematically investigated with respect to the influence on the size and electronic structure of active metal nanoparticles, as well as on the catalytic performance in N-ethylcarbazole (NEC) hydrogenation. The results show that the optimized Ni/Ni 1 Al 2 -MMO-500 catalyst achieved both small size and high electron density of active metal particles. The synergistic size and electronic enhancement endow the catalyst with superior catalytic activity in NEC hydrogenation, exceeding all reported Ni-based catalysts and exhibiting catalytic efficiency comparable to that of the widely used commercial precious metal hydrogenation catalyst, 5 wt% Ru/Al 2 O 3 , with high catalytic performance sustained across five NEC hydrogenation cycles.

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.

This work focused on optimizing the synergistic effect between CeO 2 and Ni in CeO 2 modified Ni/MgAl 2 O 4 . Six catalysts for ethanol steam reforming (ESR), including NiCeMgAl, CeO 2 /NiMgAl, Ni/CeMgAl, Ni-CeO 2 /MgAl 2 O 4 , Ni/CeO 2 /MgAl 2 O 4 and CeO 2 /Ni/MgAl 2 O 4 , were synthesized by sol–gel and/or impregnation methods, which controlled the introduction order of Ce(NO 3 ) 3 . Ni/CeMgAl showed a satisfactory stability with 90.6 % of ethanol conversion after 100 h test, 66.9 % of H 2 concentration in product, and an excellent anti-coking ability with 0.72 mg c /(g cat ·h). The optimal catalytic performance of Ni/CeMgAl benefits from the unique distribution of components, which provides adequate Ni 0 active sites for C-C bonds scission, maintains a stable particle size of metallic Ni, and suppresses the side reactions and carbonization of intermediates on CeO 2 sites. This work illuminates the important of coordinating the ability of Ni and CeO 2 for ESR and presents a new insight into the design of low-cost and high-performance catalysts in practical applications.

Graphical High fives ! The catalyst 5Ni-5Ce exhibits the best catalytic performance in the dry reforming of shale gas and CO 2 . The introduction of Ce creates strong interaction between Ni and Ce, which enhances the electron transfer between them. And the substitution of Ni for Ce produces oxygen vacancies and defects, which can accelerate the adsorption and activation of the reactant gases molecule, further promoting the reaction. The dry reforming of shale gas (methane and ethane with an average ratio of 4 : 1) with carbon dioxide (DRS) is considered to be a promising way to produce syngas, which widens the utilization of shale gas and mitigates carbon dioxide emission. In this paper, Ce modified Ni-based catalysts were developed and the corresponding catalytic performances for DRS were investigated with a fixed bed reactor. Results showed that the catalyst containing 5 wt% of Ni and 5 wt% of Ce performed a best catalytic effect, including the selectivity of syngas and the carbon resistance performance, which is due to the good metal dispersion, strong interaction between Ni and Ce, and the formation of Ni-CeO x solid solution. The electron transfer between Ni and Ce, substitution of Ni for Ce, and the sequential oxygen vacancies or defects, play significant roles in activating CH 4 , C 2 H 6 and CO 2 . The conversion of reactant gas increased with temperature, while the selectivity of syngas is little affected with temperature. In addition, the desired catalyst containing 5 wt% of Ni and 5 wt% of Ce showed good stability in the long-time operation, which indicates that the Ce modified Ni-based catalyst is a promising one for the dry reforming of shale gas.

The exploring and developing non-precious transition metal-based catalysts for practical water electrolysis with the low cost, high efficiency and easy macroscopic preparation was still a challenge. Herein, Ni 3 S 2 /Ni(OH) 2 heterojunction with different sulfuration time was proposed and hydrothermally synthesized using a simple two-step approach, which served as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for water splitting in alkaline solution at industrial temperature. Among these catalysts, Ni 3 S 2 /Ni(OH) 2 -5h displayed the smallest overpotentials (237 mV@100 mA cm −2 and 360 mV@100 mA cm −2 ) for OER and HER at room temperature, along with low Tafel slopes of 62.0 mV dec −1 and 80.8 mV dec −1 respectively. Furthermore, working at high temperature Ni 3 S 2 /Ni(OH) 2 -5h exhibited even lower overpotential of 82 mV@100 mA cm −2 at 70 °C for OER and 325 mV@100 mA cm −2 at 60 °C for HER. The excellent performance was ascribed to the heterojunction accelerating the charge transfer, hierarchical interconnected structure promoting the mass transfer and the synergistic effect between the components of Ni 3 S 2 and Ni(OH) 2 . This work could provide a promising route for promoting the electrocatalytic performance of Ni-based catalyst with a simple sulfuration method for industrial water splitting, which could expand to other non-noble metal-based materials for enhancing the electrocatalytic activities.

This paper describes the design of a Ni/La 2 O 3 catalyst using La 2 O 2 CO 3 nanorod as a support precursor (denoted as Ni/La 2 O 3 -LOC) via a wet impregnation method for dry reforming of methane (DRM). The results showed that La 2 O 3 derived from the La 2 O 2 CO 3 precursor maintained its initial morphology upon thermal treatment and could highly disperse Ni particles on it. Additionally, the nanorod-shaped support could provide more medium-strength basic sites to facilitate CO 2 adsorption and activation on its surface. Consequently, the Ni/La 2 O 3 -LOC catalyst reached 70% of CH 4 conversion and 75% of CO 2 conversion at 700 °C after 50 h DRM reaction with a H 2 /CO ratio of 0.87. The enhanced metal-support interaction restricted the sintering of nickel particles under harsh reaction conditions. Coke evolution on the catalysts was also investigated to understand coke formation mechanism and the role of La 2 O 2 CO 3 in coke elimination. It has been found that nickel dispersion can affect distribution of coke and La 2 O 2 CO 3 on the surface of catalyst, both of which have a close relation with catalytic performance.
