The present study utilized W nanopowders (prepared by a two-stage reduction process consisting of steps of carbothermic pre-reduction and hydrogen deep reduction) to produce fine-grained 90W-7Ni-3Fe and 93W-4.9Ni-2.1Fe alloys. The effects of sintering temperature [in a range of 1573 K to 1723 K (1300 °C to 1450 °C)] and time on the microstructure and mechanical properties of W-Ni-Fe alloys were studied in detail. The microstructures of the prepared alloys at 1573 K and 1673 K (1300 °C and 1400 °C) indicated that the grain sizes of W grains are < 5 μ m. However, the grain size dramatically increases to > 5 μ m after sintering for > 60 minutes at 1723 K (1450 °C). The observation shows the as-sintered alloys with different holding times exhibit different fracture modes. With increasing holding time, the hardness of two alloys first increases and then decreases at the same sintering temperature. It is also concluded that the bending strength of alloys increases with the increase of sintering temperature. The maximum hardness of 381 and 393.6 HV was obtained after sintering at 1573 K (1300 °C) for 60 minutes for 90W-7Ni-3Fe and 93W-4.9Ni-2.1Fe alloys, respectively, while the highest bending strength of 1381.4 and 1278.8 MPa could be achieved at 1673 K (1400 °C) for 120 minutes. The excellent mechanical properties of W-Ni-Fe alloys could be attributed to the grain refinement strengthening.

A series of Ni and F ion doped LiMn2O4 composite cathode materials are synthesized via a sol–gel method with citric acid as the chelating agent. The morphology and structure of LiNixMn2−xO4−yFy were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS and the electrochemical performance was tested and characterized by CV and EIS. The results showed that Ni and F ions were uniformly dispersed in the lattice without changing the structure and morphology of LiMn2O4. LiNi0.03Mn1.97O3.95F0.05 exhibits an excellent electrochemical performance among all the samples, and delivers an initial discharge capacity of 120.3 mA h g−1 at 1C and with a retention of 94.5% (25 °C) and 80.4% (55 °C) after the 100th cycle respectively. The results demonstrated that the dual-doping of Ni and F ions in lithium manganate can prevent the manganate from dissolving in the electrolyte and enhance the cycling performance at elevated temperatures, exhibiting excellent performance at different discharge rates.

Fabricating the hierarchical heterostructure is efficient way for enhancing CO 2 conversion of semiconductor photocatalysts. Herein, a simple strategy has been employed to prepare several 3D hierarchical CdS/Ni-MOF heterostructure photocatalysts, and the selective photoreduction of CO 2 to CO under simulated sunlight in the gas–solid phase reactor. Among the prepared photocatalysts, 20%-CdS/Ni-MOF shows the best CO yield, which was 16 times and 7 times that of Ni-MOF and CdS, respectively. By controlling the morphology of the catalyst, we found that the significant improvement in photocatalytic activity can be ascribed to the synergistic effect of heterostructure in CdS/Ni-MOF and its unique hierarchical structure, which can improve the efficiency of charge transmission and provides abundant active sites, etc. Finally, the preliminary photocatalytic mechanism was discussed by in situ FTIR and liquid ultraviolet spectrophotometer.

In this paper, sinter samples of limonitic nickel laterite were adopted for Fe-Cr-Ni alloy preparation at lower costs. Based on the thermodynamics analysis, smelting characteristics of sinter samples of S1 (4.84 wt% Cr 2 O 3 ) and S3 (7.72 wt% Cr 2 O 3 ) were revealed by the optimization of smelting process parameters. When smelting durations were kept at 60 min and 90 min for S1 and S3 and smelting temperature, coke dosage and slag basicity were maintained at 1600 °C, 20 wt% and 1.0, respectively, the qualified Fe-Cr-Ni alloys containing 84%–88 wt% Fe, 5.6%–9.3 wt% Cr and 1.55%–1.70 wt% Ni were prepared with the recovery rates of Fe, Cr and Ni of over 96%, 90% and 98%, respectively. Higher Cr 2 O 3 content of sinter leads to the prolongation of smelting duration, which is adverse to the reduction of coke ratio and the increase of stainless steel output. The comprehensive furnace burdens including Ni-bearing sinter and Cr-bearing pellets will be developed in the follow-up study for the more efficient preparation of high-Cr ferronickel.

Ammonia is a prospective fuel for hydrogen storage and production, but its application is limited by the high cost of the catalysts (Ru, etc. ) to decompose NH 3 . Decomposing ammonia using non-precious Ni as catalysts can therefore improve its prospects to produce hydrogen. This work proposes several Ni/MgAl 2 O 4 with the support properties tuned and investigates the support effect on the catalytic performance. Ni/MgAl 2 O 4 -LDH shows high NH 3 conversion (∼88.7%) and H 2 production rate (∼1782.6 mmol g −1 h −1 ) at 30,000 L. kg −1 h −1 and 600 °C, which is 1.68 times as large as that of Ni/MgAl 2 O 4 -MM. The performance remains stable over 30 h. The characterizations manifest that the high specific surface area of Ni/MgAl 2 O 4 -LDH can introduce highly dispersed Ni on the surface. Kinetics analysis implies promoted NH 3 decomposition reaction and alleviated H 2 poisoning for Ni/MgAl 2 O 4 -LDH. A roughly linear relationship is obtained by fitting the curves of dispersed Ni on the surface vs the reaction orders regarding H 2 and NH 3 . This indicates that enhanced NH 3 decomposition performance can be ascribed to the strengthened NH 3 decomposition reaction and weakened H 2 poisoning by the highly dispersed Ni on the MgAl 2 O 4 -LDH surface. This work provides an opportunity to develop highly active and cost-effective catalysts to produce hydrogen via NH 3 decomposition.

Comprehensive Summary A series of nickel-doped copper tungstate/oxygen-rich TiO 2 heterojunction-constructed composites of x Ni-CuWO 4 /OTiO 2 were successfully prepared to demonstrate the enhancement of the visible-light photoactivity through promoting the photogenerated charge carrier separation efficiency. Of all these composites, 0.2Ni-CuWO 4 /OTiO 2 exhibits excellent and stable visible light photoactivity for the photooxidative coupling of benzylamine to the corresponding N -benzyl-1-phenymethanimine (BPMI) in air atmosphere. The conversion of benzylamine and the selectivity to BPMI reach 97% and 99%, respectively. The catalyst shows good cyclability with the conversion of benzylamine decreasing just by 22% after being repeated six times with the well-maintained selectivity of BPMI. The composite also exhibits excellent photo-bactericidal ability, which greatly inhibits the reproducing of both the Gram-positive bacteria ( e.g ., S. epidermidis ) and Gram-negative bacteria ( e.g ., E. coli ).

Water electrolysis offers a promising approach toward future sustainable energy mix utilizing hydrogen as energy carrier. Bifunctional catalyst which is active in both oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions can significantly enhance total electrochemical water splitting efficiency and simplify electrolysis systems. In this study, nitrogen doped nickel-containing porous carbon networks were prepared to fulfill this role. Peptone was used as carbon and nitrogen source during the synthesis and NaCl presence as a template resulted in the formation of open mesopores interconnected by thin carbon sheets with nanosized Ni particles encapsulated in the carbon matrix. A low onset potential of 53 mV and a charge transfer resistance of 3.8 Ω with excellent cycling stability were demonstrated when the optimized catalyst Ni-2 was applied in HER. It was also shown that Ni-2 onset potential, charge transfer resistance, and durability in OER were comparable to those of a commercial RuO2 catalyst. During the electrolysis study conducted at 10 mA cm–2, Ni-2 maintained a cell voltage of 1.63 V with remarkable stability during 25 h operation.

In this work, Pd–Ni alloy nanoparticles (NPs) were produced by a facile and efficient one-pot synthetic strategy in the presence of oleylamine (OAm) and triphenylphosphine (TPP). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) mapping, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to investigate the structure of Pd–Ni alloy NPs, which demonstrated that the as-prepared alloy NPs possessed uniform sizes and tunable compositions. Importantly, we found that TPP could affect the morphology of the Pd–Ni alloy. When TPP was absent from the reaction, the morphology of the Pd–Ni alloy was not uniform. In addition, the as-prepared Pd–Ni alloy NPs showed conspicuous composition-dependent catalytic activities for the Miyaura–Heck reaction. In the series of the Pd–Ni alloy NPs, Pd1Ni1 has an excellent effect for the Miyaura–Heck reactions. Furthermore, the Pd–Ni alloy NPs were also effective for different substrates in the Miyaura–Heck reactions. Compared to pure palladium, the Pd–Ni alloy NPs as the catalysts show better catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability.

Selective hydrogenation of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) is an ideal way to prepare 1,4-cyclohexane dicarboxylate (DMCD), an important intermediate and monomer. Even though noble metal-based catalysts (e.g., Ru, Pd) have been developed for selective hydrogenation of DMT, the use of non-precious Ni catalysts to achieve high activity and selectivity is still challenging. In this study, we present that only 0.5 wt% of KF by post-impregnated doping can significantly improve the performance of Ni/SiO2 catalysts (83% vs. 96% selectivity; 41% vs. 95% conversion). The selectivity of DMCD can be up to 97%, which is the highest reported over Ni catalysts. The boosting effect of KF modification might be due to higher amounts of Ni(0) species and lower amounts of moderate acidic sites, which are beneficial for selective hydrogenation of phenyl rings over hydrogenolysis of ester groups.

On the basis of modification of transition metals on Mg-Al hydrogen storage alloys , Mg15Al5Ni alloy with Ni content of 5 wt% has been prepared by high energy ball mill. The results show that Ni particles uniformly distribute on the surface of particles, while several Ni particles are embedded inside alloy particles. These Ni particles tend to redistribute after hydrogenation. The phase composition analysis reveals the formation of stable Al 3 Ni 2 phase in Ni-modified alloy after hydrogenation. The hydrogen absorption performance of Mg15Al5Ni alloy has been improved by introducing Ni, which can absorb 4.36 wt% hydrogen within 5 min at 350 °C. Meanwhile, the activation properties of Mg15Al5Ni alloy can be obviously deteriorated due to the addition of Ni. However, uniformly distributed Al 3 Ni 2 nanocrystals with grain sizes around 10 nm hinder grain growth of hydrides, ameliorating hydrogenation kinetics of Mg15Al5Ni alloy. Besides, the modified effect of Ni on hydrogenation kinetics of Mg15Al5Ni alloy has been also discussed in this work.

Deep hydrogenation of dicyclopentadiene resin (DCPD resin) plays an important role in enhancing its performance and broadening its applications. However, designing suitable catalysts for promoting DCPD resin deep hydrogenation remains a challenge due to the high steric hindrance and abundant unsaturated bonds in DCPD resin, requiring strong binding to C=C double bonds. We herein propose a strategy for simultaneously constructing highly-dispersed Ni particles for hydrogen dissociation and interfacial Ni 0 /Ni(OH) + sites for C=C adsorption by controlled reduction of Ni phyllosilicate (Ni PS). The catalyst, after reduction at 400 °C, demonstrated balanced ratio between Ni 0 and interfacial Ni 0 /Ni(OH) + sites, and achieved a hydrogenation degree of 99.8% (TOF: 68.8 h −1 ) while maintaining 99.3% efficiency after seven consecutive cycles. Through in-situ DRIFTS analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it is confirmed that the introduction of Ni 0 /Ni(OH) + interfacial sites results in superior activity compared to pure Ni 0 or unreduced PS due to optimized charge transfer and electronic configuration. This work not only establishes a simple and environmentally-friendly approach to design efficient catalysts for polymer hydrogenation, but also provides insights into the mechanism of unsaturated bond hydrogenation through the synergistic effects of Ni 0 and Ni 0 /Ni(OH) + interfacial sites.

MgH₂ is one of the most promising materials for solid hydrogen storage and is environmentally friendly primarily owing to its high mass hydrogen storage density (7.6 %). However, the application and development of MgH₂ are limited by its sluggish kinetics, requiring high processing temperatures. In this study, we prepared Ni/Co-co-doped Ti 2 VC 2 bimetallic MXene nanosheets via etching and the hydrothermal method. These nanosheets were then doped into MgH₂, resulting in drastically improved hydrogen storage properties. The MgH₂-based composite hydrogen storage materials doped with 10 wt% Ni/Co–Ti 2 VC₂ (TVCNC) commenced hydrogen emission from 183 °C and could emit 6.65 wt% hydrogen at 300 °C. During the rehydrogenation test, the composites could still absorb hydrogen at 5.0 wt% within a 10 min window at a hydrogen pressure of 20 bar at 125 °C. Moreover, the hydrogen absorption and emission kinetics of the doped MgH₂ were considerably improved. This improvement could be ascribed to the significantly increased specific surface area of the MXene nanosheets after etching, which increased the number of active sites on the surface to accelerate the reaction, thereby accelerating hydrogen adsorption and emission. In addition, the migration of electrons between the multivalent Ti ions as well as between Ni and Co helped accelerate bond cleavage between magnesium and hydrogen, thereby enhancing the kinetic properties. Ni/Co co-doping produced Mg 2 Ni alloys with magnesium via hydrogen adsorption and emission, thus improving the reaction kinetics of the composites.
