Ni-rich single-crystalline layered cathodes have garnered significant attention due to their high energy density and thermal stability. However, they experience severe capacity degradation caused by lattice strain and interfacial side reactions during practical applications. In this study, an effective yttrium modification method is employed to stabilize the structure of Ni-rich single-crystalline LiNi0.83Mn0.05Co0.12O2 (SC-NMC83) to solve these issues. This innovative approach successfully immobilizes oxygen within the material, preventing crack formation while simultaneously broadening the diffusion path of Li+. The yttrium-modified sample (SC-NMC83-Y) exhibits a superior capacity retention compared to the SC-NMC83 sample, with values of 90% and 76.1% after 100 cycles, respectively. This work demonstrates the promising potential of a doping strategy for Ni-rich single-crystalline cathodes and paves a pathway for its practical implementation, such as all-solid-state batteries.

Hydrogen has long been widely recognized as a promising carbon-free fuel with potential to tackle energy and environmental challenges owing to its high energy density and cleanliness. Water electrolysis offers an environmentally friendly method for hydrogen production from water and largely depends on the efficiency of electrocatalysts. Molybdenum diselenide (MoSe 2 ) has been regarded as one of the most promising earth-abundant and cost-effective catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Nevertheless, its catalytic activity has thus far remained below expectations. In this research, we introduce a vanadium-modulated Ni-MoSe 2 catalyst (NiV-MoSe 2 ), demonstrating outstanding catalytic performance towards HER with an overpotential of 74.5 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and a Tafel slope of 56.2 mV dec −1 . The enhancement of catalytic performance is highly likely attributed to the dual doping of vanadium and nickel. As a result, the intrinsic activity, electrochemical active surface area, and conductivity are significantly improved. These findings enable the NiV-MoSe 2 catalyst to be an exceptionally competitive alternative to noble metal-based catalysts, and may stimulate further studies in designing efficient HER catalysts through multi-heteroatom substitution.

Selective CO2hydrogenation faces significant technical challenges, although many efforts have been made in this regard. Herein, a Ni-doped In2O3catalyst supported by g-C3N4was prepared using the co-precipitation method, and its composition, morphology, specific surface area, and band gap were characterized using TEM, XPS, BET, XRD, CO2-TPD, H2-TPR, UV-Vis, etc. The catalytic hydrogenation reduction of CO2to produce methanol was tested. Under low-photothermal conditions (1.0 MPa), the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol is stable, effective, and highly selective, with a spatiotemporal yield of 86.0 gMeOHh−1kgcat−1, which is 30.9% higher than that of Ni-In2O3without g-C3N4loading under the same conditions.

Sustainable production of hydrogen is currently a global research hotspot. In this study, a Ni(OH)2cocatalyst was loaded on Zn0.8Cd0.2S to form Ni(OH)2/ZCS composites and achieve highly efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production. After Ni(OH)2loading, a close contact interface was established between Ni(OH)2and Zn0.8Cd0.2S, which increased the separation efficiency of the photogenerated electrons and holes. Moreover, the addition of Ni(OH)2increases the specific surface area and light absorption of Ni(OH)2/Zn0.8Cd0.2S, and the Ni(OH)2can act as active sites for photocatalytic hydrogen production. The photocatalytic H2production rate of Ni(OH)2/ZCS composites increases with the increase in the Ni amount. 9Ni(OH)2/ZCS exhibited the optimum H2production rate of 12.88 mmol h−1g−1, which was 9.9 times higher than that of Zn0.8Cd0.2S. When the amount of Ni(OH)2is further increased, the excess Ni(OH)2covers the active site of Zn0.8Cd0.2S and reduced the light absorption of Zn0.8Cd0.2S, resulting in a decrease in the H2production rate. Furthermore, the H2production rate of 9Ni(OH)2/ZCS decreased from 12.88 to 5.15 mmol g−1h−1after 3 cycles. The main reason for the decline in the photocatalytic performance of Ni(OH)2/ZCS is the photocorrosion of Zn0.8Cd0.2S. This study provides an innovative design for loading Ni(OH)2cocatalysts on Zn0.8Cd0.2S to improve the performance of photocatalysts.

CO 2 methanation is gaining renewed attention due to the emerging application needs such as the power-to-gas concept and long-term space exploration missions. Maximizing the amounts of interfacial sites generally regarded as the efficient active sites is considered to be one of the most direct means to enhance catalytic activity but few breakthroughs have been made. Here, Eu 3+ is introduced to Ni/CeO 2 to promote the Ni-CeO 2 interaction, resulting in a remarkable low-temperature CO 2 methanation activity. Structural characterization indicates that the Ni/CeEu(9:1) catalyst achieves higher Ni dispersion compared to Ni/CeO 2 , which consequently generates more interfacial sites. More interfacial sites enhance the proportions of bidentate carbonates closer to interfacial sites as a faster hydrogenated species during the catalytic process, leading to enhanced low-temperature CO 2 methanation activity over the Ni/CeEu(9:1) catalyst. This work provides a chemical strategy to enhance the amounts of active sites and bring insights into the origin of enhanced catalytic performance.

The replacement of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with the urea oxidation reaction (UOR) coupled with the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in water electrolysis systems is regarded as a highly promising strategy for reducing hydrogen production energy consumption, enhancing hydrogen efficiency, and even effectively treating urea wastewater. However, the design and fabrication of UOR catalysts in the UOR coupled HER catalytic water electrolysis system remains one of the significant challenges. Herein, we employed a facile, operable, and practical solid-state reaction method to synthesize two representative types of transition metal phosphosulfide (MPS 3 ) catalysts, and the intrinsic and structural characteristics of these catalysts were systematically characterized. Subsequently, the MPS 3 catalyst was deposited onto a nickel foam substrate (NF) to obtain the MPS/NF catalytic electrode. The UOR and OER performance of the MPS 3 /NF catalytic electrode was evaluated to elucidate the competitive mechanisms of UOR and OER within the MPS 3 catalyst. Results indicated that the UOR driving potentials required for NiPS 3 /NF and FePS 3 /NF electrodes were individually reduced by 101 mV and 33 mV compared to the corresponding OER driving potentials under the condition of 100 mA/cm 2 , and NiPS 3 /NF and FePS 3 /NF electrodes could even achieve large UOR current density of 300 mA/cm 2 at potentials as low as 1.630 V (vs. RHE) and 1.647 V (vs. RHE), respectively. In-situ Raman spectroscopy combined with XPS analysis revealed distinct catalytic pathways for NiPS 3 and FePS 3 . During catalysis, NiPS 3 undergoes surface reconstruction to form γ-NiOOH, which exhibited superior selectivity toward urea oxidation, whereas FePS 3 predominantly generated β-FeOOH, whose activity was compromised by competing oxygen evolution, thereby conferring weaker UOR selectivity compared with NiPS 3 . For the UOR-coupled HER whole-cell urea electrolysis assessment, the NiPS 3 /NF and FePS 3 /NF whole-cell attained urea degradation efficiencies of 89.04 % and 69.61 %, respectively. This work provided a novel strategy and practical approach for the development of novel, efficient, and cost-effective MPS 3 catalysts for UOR coupled with HER in the treatment of urea wastewater for synergistic hydrogen production.

It is very important to rationally design electrode materials with remarkable electrical conductivity and high specific surface area for supercapacitors. However, it is limited by insufficient energy density, so the development of high-performance electrodes has become research focuses. Herein, we report the synthesis of CoMoO4@Ni(OH)2 composite structures by hydrothermal growth of Ni(OH)2 nanosheets on CoMoO4 materials. The synthesized product achieves 93% of capacitance retention after 10,000 times cycling and possesses a specific capacitance of 2640 F g-1 at 1 A g-1. Furthermore, the assembled device delivers an energy density of 74.25 Wh kg-1 when the power density is 2700 W kg-1. Besides, the materials still present outstanding flexibility and mechanical stability after bending at different angles and times.

The rational design of single-atom catalysts (SACs) with tailored coordination environments is essential for improving their electrocatalytic efficacy. This study employs a coordination engineering approach to immobilize atomically dispersed nickel atoms on nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (NCNFs), forming a novel Ni–N2O2/NCNFs catalyst. Unlike the traditional Ni–N4 coordination configuration, each nickel atom in this Ni–N2O2 framework is stabilized within a rare and well-defined N2O2 coordination environment. This distinctive local structure is conclusively characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Consequently, the Ni–N2O2/NCNFs catalyst exhibits remarkable hydrogen evolution reaction activity in a 1.0 M KOH solution, necessitating an overpotential of merely 37 mV to attain a current density of 10 mA cm–2. These results confirm the broad-scale applicability of the strategy for modulating the local coordination chemistry of SACs and provide novel insights that will facilitate the design of highly efficient and stable catalysts for alkaline water splitting.

In this work, one-dimensional NiMoO 4 and CoMoO 4 nanorods are prepared and introduced into MgH 2 to improve its hydrogen storage properties. It is observed that the MgH 2 –NiMoO 4 system exhibits lower dehydrogenation temperature and faster kinetics than the MgH 2 –CoMoO 4 system and pure MgH 2 , indicating the superior promoting effect of NiMoO 4 over CoMoO 4 . Concretely, NiMoO 4 reacts with MgH 2 during the first dehydrogenation to in situ form Mg 2 Ni and Mo 0 , both of which are crucial factors for the following hydrogen cycling process. The ‘Mg 2 Ni/Mg 2 NiH 4 ’ mutual transformation upon hydrogen release/uptake is the well-known ‘hydrogen pump’ effect which boosts the hydrogen storage performance of MgH 2 . Moreover, theoretical calculations reveal the dual roles of Mo 0 played for the hydrogen storage in MgH 2 : i) it accelerates the hydrogen de/absorption of MgH 2 through weakening the Mg–H bonding; ii) it facilitates the mutual ‘Mg 2 Ni/Mg 2 NiH 4 ’ transformation as the formation energy of Mg 2 NiH 4 decreases under the influence of Mo 0 , which we call ‘facilitated hydrogen pump’ effect in this work. Ascribing to the collaborative action between Ni- and Mo- containing species, the hydrogen storage kinetics of MgH 2 has been accelerated.

Ternary Ni-Ti-CeO 2 composite coatings were synthesized from Watts bath containing various concentrations of mixed particles including Ti microparticles and CeO 2 nanoparticles (fixed ration 10: 1 by weight) by electrodeposition . Microstructures of the composite coatings were comprehensively investigated by XRD , SEM, AFM and TEM . The incorporation of mixed particles gave birth to grain refinement, attenuation of soft mode [200] texture and random-orientated grain growth of nickel deposits . Typically, as for the composite coating electrodeposited form Watts bath containing relatively low concentrations (less than 22 g/L) of mixed particles, the presence of pores inside the coatings, asperities on the surface and cluster-like distribution of Ti microparticles in composite coating, restricted the improvement of properties. By increasing concentration of mixed particles to 88 g/L, high-quality Ni-Ti-CeO 2 composite coating with uniformly distributed Ti microparticles was achieved. The incorporation of Ti microparticles should take great responsibility for the presence of pores and asperities, while the incorporation CeO 2 nanoparticles played very important role in the formation of dense and smooth composite coatings. Microhardness and wear resistance were also improved by increasing contents of mixed particles in composite coatings. The incorporation of mixed particles leaded to increasement of friction coefficient and the friction coefficient presented increasing tendency by increasing the concentrations of mixed particles in Watts bath.

Electro-assisted activation of peroxymonosulfate (EA-PMS) by transition metals oxides (TMOs) has been extensively studied for the removal of organic pollutants. Despite TMOs possess considerable activity and affinity to PMS, their poor bulk conductivity still limits the electron exchange during the TM δ/δ+1 redox cycle, especially the efficient reduction of TM δ+1 via cathodic process. In this study, carbon felt loaded with modified Co 3 O 4 nanosheets (Co@FCF) was fabricated and applied as the flow-through electrode of EA-PMS process, where the Co 3 O 4 nanosheets were embedded with numerous metallic Ni particles encapsulated within carbon layers (Ni@C). Driven by weak electric current, continuous electrons can be supplied to the bulk Co 3 O 4 from the electron-rich Ni@C nanoparticles, resulting in accelerated Co 3+ /Co 2+ cycle, enhanced production of SO 4 ·− and improved energy utilization efficiency. Electrochemical tests along with density functional theory calculations indicate that the unique structure of Co@FCF played essential role in the enhanced performance.

To eliminate the problematic need for liquid phase, high temperature, and high pressure, as well as the excessive consumption of hydrogen and production of aromatic hydrocarbons, associated with traditional aviation oil preparation processes, Ni–Cu bimetallic catalysts were synthesized and evaluated for ex situ catalytic pyrolysis vapor upgrading of oleic acid under a N 2 atmosphere. The effects of catalyst support (AC, Al 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 , HZSM-5, HUSY, Hβ and MCM-41), pyrolysis process parameters (pyrolysis temperature, catalytic temperature and amount of oleic acid injected), and the mixing ratio of modified metals (Ni:Cu = 0:1,2,1:1,1:2,1:0) on the catalytic conversion of oleic acid to high-quality chemicals were studied. The catalysts were characterized by XRD , BET and NH 3 -TPD. Modified bimetallic catalysts show great potential for green diesel production without the use of H 2 feed. The abundance of Brønsted acid sites favors HDO routes (such as HZSM-5, HUSY, Hβ and MCM-41), while Lewis acid sites (such as ZrO 2 and Al 2 O 3 ) favor hydrogenation and decarbonylation reactions. The addition of Cu enhances the reducibility of Ni and inhibits the cracking reaction and deactivation caused by coke. The addition of Ni effectively promotes the conversion of oleic acid, accelerates the fracture of C–C and effectively improves the production of hydrocarbons. The highest conversion was 100% with 85.68% selectivity towards hydrocarbons under pyrolysis at 450 °C, a catalytic temperature of 500 °C, and a feed quantity of oleic acid of 0.25 ml/min using Ni–2Cu/MCM-41 catalysts, and the oxygen removal efficiency and selectivity of C17 hydrocarbon were the highest (85.68% and 26.77%, respectively). The main products were olefins . In addition, the regenerated catalyst had good stability and could be used for at least 3 reaction cycles without observation of significant deactivation.
