Catalysts Ni/γ-Al 2 O 3 , Mg 2 Si/γ-Al 2 O 3 , and Ni-Mg 2 Si/γ-Al 2 O 3 were prepared. Their activities for catalytic hydroconversions (CHCs) of some lignite-related model compounds were examined. For the CHCs of oxydibenzene (ODB), benzyloxybenzene, and oxybis(methylene)dibenzene, the suitable loadings of Ni and Mg 2 Si are 33 and 20% in Ni-Mg 2 Si/γ-Al 2 O 3 , respectively, and the optimal reaction conditions are 4 MPa of initial hydrogen pressure, 240 °C, and 2 h, under which ODB was almost completely converted to cyclohexane. The formation of possible intermediates during the CHC of ODB was discussed. Ni-Mg 2 Si/γ-Al 2 O 3 was proposed to have 3 functions, i.e., activating H 2 to biatomic active hydrogen (H⋯H), releasing H − , and heterolytically splitting H⋯H to release H − as well, resulting in the hydrogenation of aromatic rings and the hydrocracking of C O bonds, respectively.

Herein, Mg 1− x Ni x ZrTa 2 O 8 ( x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1) ceramics are synthesized using a solid-phase reaction method. Ni 2+ replacing Mg 2+ improves the drawback of high sintering temperature and poor temperature stability. The samples have a relative density above 95% at the optimal sintering temperature. The sintering temperature of Mg 1− x Ni x ZrTa 2 O 8 reduces from 1475 to 1400 °C. And single-phase Mg 1− x Ni x ZrTa 2 O 8 ceramics with monoclinic wolframite structures are analyzed. According to the Rietveld refinement results, with the doping of Ni 2+ , the transformation of unit cell volume leads to the shift of the main peak in the X-Ray diffraction pattern to a higher angle in 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3 and a lower angle in 0.5 ≤ x ≤ 1. The ε r of Mg 1− x Ni x ZrTa 2 O 8 is comparable to MgZrTa 2 O 8 . At 1400 °C, the Q × f is increased from 10 598 GHz in the undoped sample to 43 041 GHz in Mg 0.9 Ni 0.1 ZrTa 2 O 8 ceramic. The absolute values of τ f of ceramic samples decrease with the excessive Ni 2+ . The desirable dielectric properties ( ε r = 20.79, Q × f = 43 041 GHz, τ f = −33.04 ppm °C −1 ) are obtained at 1400 °C. Ni substitution is effective for MgZrTa 2 O 8 ceramic to optimize densification temperature and retain the high Q × f value.

In this paper, Ni-B alloy coatings were prepared by electroless deposition, similarly, Ni-B/TiC composite coatings with TiC nanoceramic particles as the reinforcing phase were also prepared. On this basis, the composite coating was superhydrophobically modified using hexadecylmethoxysilane (HDTMS) to obtain HDTMS-modified superhydrophobic Ni-B/TiC composite coating (HDTMS* Ni-B/TiC). The hardness of the superhydrophobic coating is up to 954.9 HV, and the wettability test shows that the superhydrophobic composite coating has a water contact angle of 151.2°, and the rolling angle less than 10°. Furthermore, which maintains good non-wettability to several common household stains, in addition to good self-cleaning performance to common household dust. Electrochemical tests show that the corrosion inhibition rate of HDTMS*Ni-B/TiC superhydrophobic composite coatings reach 99.67 % and an impedance value of 3.107 × 10 5 Ω·cm −2 in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution at room temperature. Overall, the prepared superhydrophobic composite coatings have good hydrophobicity, corrosion resistance, and high hardness, which are of extensive research value.

Superhydrophobic coatings are renowned for their self-cleaning and water-repellent properties, making them increasingly valuable in industrial and consumer applications. Despite their widespread adoption, further enhancement of superhydrophobic performance remains a significant challenge. In this study, we introduce a novel approach to enhance the superhydrophobic capabilities of a composite coating by electrodepositing a Ni-WS 2 -PTFE composite coating under an applied magnetic field, notably improving its hydrophobic properties. The coupling of magnetic and electric fields induces a reorganization of the crystalline phase of nanoparticles within the plating solution, directly influencing the hydrophobicity of the composite coating. The water contact angle of the obtained Ni-WS2-PTFE composite coating reached 154°, with a minimum sliding angle of 4°. The coating also demonstrated excellent hydrophobic performance in both acid-base and weight-loss tests. After four weeks of immersion in a 3.5 % NaCl solution, the composite coating retained a corrosion resistance efficiency of 95 %. Magnetic fields play a beneficial role in the preparation of superhydrophobic coatings. While coatings produced through electrodeposition alone are not inherently superhydrophobic, the introduction of magnetic fields during the process imparts these desirable properties.

This work synthesized a series of Ni/CeO 2 /Al 2 O 3 catalysts with varying CeO 2 doping amounts to enhance low-temperature CO 2 methanation. The introduction of CeO 2 weakens the interaction between Ni and Al 2 O 3 , leading to the formation of Ni-CeO 2 active sites. This results in a high dispersion of Ni and CeO 2 , improved catalyst reducibility, increased number of active sites, and enhanced the CO 2 methanation. This work further investigated the impact of WHSV and catalyst stacking configuration to enhance the reaction. When the catalyst is stacked into three segments with a temperature gradient of 330 °C, 300 °C, and 250 °C under WHSV=9000 ml·h –1 ·(g cat) –1 , the CO 2 conversion significantly increases to 95%, which is remarkably close to the thermodynamic equilibrium (96%).

Faced with severe electromagnetic wave (EMW) pollution, the development of high-performance EMW absorbers remains a formidable challenge. In this study, SiBCN/Ni fibers containing uniformly dispersed Ni 2 Si nanoparticles were synthesized by electrospinning method with polymer-derived ceramics method, and their electromagnetic properties were evaluated. The low permeability threshold of the fibers ensures sufficient conduction loss effect. The in situ grown Ni 2 Si nanoparticles provide a magnetically coupled network, which is more conducive to obtaining excellent impedance matching. Furthermore, the presence of β-SiC, SiO 2 , and Si 2 N 2 O generates numerous heterogeneous interfaces (e.g., C-SiC and C-Ni 2 Si), leading to enhanced interfacial polarization through the accumulation of charges. As a result, the prepared SiBCN/Ni fibers exhibit impressive EMW absorption properties . At a Ni content of 1 wt%, the effective absorption band (EAB) is 4.32 GHz (13.68–18 GHz). At a Ni content of 1.5 wt%, the minimum reflection loss (RL min ) is −52.98 dB, and the sample has excellent radar scattering capabilities, which is verified by CST Microwave Studio simulations. Therefore, SiBCN/Ni fibers are promising as excellent EMW absorbing materials in practical applications.

Graphical The Ni-boride/phosphide particles anchored amorphous B-doped carbon layer with hierarchical porous characteristics in Ni foam (Ni 3 P/Ni 3 B/B−C/NF) was constructed for overall water splitting. Benefitting from the synergistic effect between Ni 3 P and Ni 3 B, the amorphous B−C layer and high space utilization of NF, the Ni 3 P/Ni 3 B/B−C/NF electrocatalyst exhibited a desirable activity and durability for water electrolysis. The rational design of efficient and economical bifunctional electrocatalysts remained a challenge for overall water electrolysis. In this work, the Ni-boride/ phosphide particles anchored amorphous B-doped carbon layer with hierarchical porous characteristics in Ni foam (Ni 3 P/Ni 3 B/B−C/NF) was fabricated for overall water splitting. The Boroncarbide (B 4 C) power was filled and fixed in the NF interspace through the electroplating and electroless plating, and then annealed in vacuum high temperature. The amorphous B−C layer derived from the B4 C not only speeded up the electron transport, but also cooperate with Ni-boride/phosphide to enhance the electrocatalytic activity for HER and OER synergistically. Furthermore, the hierarchical porous architecture of Ni 3 P/Ni 3 B/B−C/NF increased space utilization to load more active materials. The self-supported Ni 3 P/Ni 3 B/B−C/NF electrode possessed a low overpotential of 212 and 280 mV to deliver 100 mA cm −2 for HER and OER, respectively, and high stability for 48 h. In particular, the electrolyzer constituted with the Ni 3 P/Ni 3 B/B−C/NF bifunctional electrocatalyst only required a voltage of 1.59 V at 50 mA cm −2 for water electrocatalysis under alkaline medium, and demonstrated long-term stability for 48 h. This study provides a new technical path for the development of bifunctional of transition metal borides to promote the application of hydrogen production from water splitting.

Replacing the ceramic support of a conventional solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with a metal support is an active research trend for improving the robustness of SOFC. We report metal-supported SOFC (M-SOFC) prepared based on Ni–Fe alloy supports with different Ni to Fe atomic ratios. The results show a Ni to Fe atomic ratio of 7:3 ratio has a more homogeneous and balanced microstructure and mechanical strength. Besides metal support selection, the type of cathode also plays a key role on improving the performance of a M-SOFC. In this study, we choose SSC and SDC as cathode materials and prepare composite cathodes containing different weight ratios of SSC to SDC, i.e., 3:7, 5:5, and 7:3 with a cathode sintering temperature of 950 and 1050 °C are compared as well. The combination of a Ni to Fe atomic ratio of 7:3, a SSC to SDC weight ratio of 5:5, and a cathode sintering temperature of 1050 °C yields the highest performance. The SSC-SDC55 cathode on symmetrical cell test shows a very low polarization resistance of 0.035 Ω cm 2 at 800 °C. A tested single-cell consisting layers of Ni–Fe|NiO-YSZ|YSZ|GDC|SSC- SDC achieved a maximum power density of 1.4 W cm −2 at 800 °C, reaching one of the highest performances for Ni–Fe supported M-SOFC, proving the advantages of using Ni–Fe alloy as support for M-SOFC. The stability of our Ni–Fe alloy supported M-SOFC still needs improvement.

Prussian blue (PB) and its analogs (PBAs) have become a research hotspot in the fields of electrochemical energy storage and electrochromism due to their good reversible redox activity, and reversible color change response in different redox states. Herein, a series of trimetallic PBAs (Co/NiHCF with Co to Ni molar ratios of 1:0, 3:1, 1:1, 1:3, and 0:1) are synthesized by a facile co-precipitation method. In particular, the impact of Co to Ni molar ratio on the lithium storage and electrochromic properties of Co/NiHCF materials are systemically investigated. All five samples possess good crystallinity but the particle size decreases with the reduction of Co/Ni molar ratio. The color change, redox reaction potential, and lithium storage activity of the samples can be readily controlled by adjusting the molar ratio of Co to Ni. The lithium storage activity of the samples strengthens with the increase of Ni content in Co/NiHCF, accompanied by a decrease in redox potentials. With the increase of Ni content, the color of the Co/NiHCF film in the oxidation state changes from purple-red to orange, and finally to yellow; in the reduction state, the color of the film changes from green to light green and then to colorless. All the samples exhibit superior rate capability, excellent cycling stability, and short switching time (in the range of 1.6 to 4.3 s). The present work demonstrates a facile strategy for readily tunning the lithium storage activity, redox reaction potentials, and realizing rich color changes of PBA-based bifunctional materials.

La 2 O 3 doped hollow porous Ni/NiCo 2 O 4 /C microspheres (NCO-La) are prepared by solvothermal method. The doping of porous La 2 O 3 nanoparticles is crucial to reduce the crystalline grain size of NiCo 2 O 4 and the internal resistance of the electrode, which facilitates ionic and electronic transportation efficiency. Hollow porous NCO-La microspheres with carbon networks have good mechanical strength and can effectively suppress volume expansion and aggregation. The combination of high-conductivity carbon and metallic nickel improves electronic conductivity. The nanostructure in the composite microspheres brings abundant active sites, which facilitates rapid redox of metal ions and allows rapid insertion and removal of Li + , consequently effectively improving the specific capacity. Benefiting from the synergy of well-designed nanostructure, the material shows high Li + storage performance and good stability. At 0.2 A g −1 after 250 cycles, the discharge specific capacity of NCO-La0.1 (1596.2 mAh g −1 ) is far better than NiCo 2 O 4 (655.6 mAh g −1 ) without La 2 O 3 doping. Such design concept of nanostructures provides a promising way to develop high-performance anode materials for LIBs.

Conversion of CO2 into value-added chemicals is regarded as an effective way to reduce carbon emissions and improve the carbon recycling economy. In the process of hydrogenation of CO2 to CH4, nickel (Ni) has been extensively investigated due to its promising activity and easy availability. However, the inferior performance at low temperatures of Ni-based catalysts and the tendency of sintering at high temperatures lead to a rapid decline in activity, which hinders their large-scale applications. In this study, mesoporous silicas with highly ordered mesoporous structures but different pore symmetries and textural properties have been investigated as supports to synthesize Ni-based catalysts modified by La2O3. The effect of mesoporous symmetries and textural properties of the silica support on catalytic performance has been reasonably revealed. The catalysts supported on optimized silica with bicontinuous three-dimensional cubic pore symmetry exhibit considerably enhanced activity and stability in long-term CO2 methanation, which is attributed to the high dispersion of metal particles and the better mass transfer performance of interconnected mesopores in the silica support.

The hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR) is critical for direct hydrazine fuel cells and presents a promising alternative to the kinetics-sluggish oxygen evolution reaction in water splitting. Engineering catalysts with high-density nanotwin structures has emerged as a compelling strategy to enhance catalytic activity. However, such catalysts have to be explored for HzOR applications. This work reports the successful synthesis of a porous Ni–Zn catalyst featuring high-density coherent nanotwins (NT-Ni-Zn). NT-Ni-Zn supported on Ni foam exhibited exceptionally high catalytic activity and stability toward the HzOR, achieving a current density of 212.4 mA·cm–2 at 0.04 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode and retaining up to 93.9% after 15 h of continuous electrolysis. In addition, hydrazine-assisted water electrolysis using NT-Ni-Zn/Ni foam as both the cathode and anode require only a cell voltage of 70 mV to reach 10 mA cm–2. The exceptional HzOR activity of the Ni–Zn catalyst is attributed to the presence of the nanotwin structure, which promotes a favorable d-band center position and facilitates strong hydrazine binding on the twinned surface. This study provides valuable insights into the development of nanotwin catalysts for HzOR advancement.
