Catalytic reduction of CO 2 to high value-added chemicals such as methane is crucial in the development of renewable energy and waste disposal. Photo-thermal CO 2 methanation has been received great attention, because the synergistic effect of photo and thermal lead to efficient CO 2 reduction at low temperature. Herein, we reported the synthesis of Ni nanoparticles (NPs) supported on TiO 2 (Ni-TiO 2 ) derived from MIL-125 (Ti-MOFs) for photo-thermal CO 2 methanation. The nanoparticle sizes and electron densities of metallic Ni, defects and chemical properties, photo-thermal and photo-electric characteristics of the catalysts have been systematically characterized by XRD, TEM, CO 2 /H 2 -TPD, XPS, photoluminescence and photocurrent. For the Ni-TiO 2 , the conversion of CO 2 was 56 % under the full spectrum irradiation (1200 mW/cm 2 ) at 325 °C, which was about 1.8 times of that without light irradiation. The selectivity of methane nearly 99 % with a production rate was 95.7 mmol/(g cat ∙h), which was about 2.7 times of that without light irradiation. Meanwhile, the catalysts showed excellent stability without any activity decay during the four cycles testing (32 h). The main reasons for the high catalytic performance for photo-thermal CO 2 methanation were attributed to the uniform distribution of Ni NPs with synergistic effect of large specific surface area of TiO 2 with abundant moderate strength alkaline sites. In addition, good photo-thermal and photo-electric conversion ability make the catalysts possess more photo-generated charge carriers and reduce its recombination.

In this work, attractive core–shell structured nanomaterials consisting of Ni doped Ag@C were synthesized. Further, a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensor was fabricated by modifying the Ni doped Ag@C (Ni/Ag@C) nanocomposites onto the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The composition and morphology of the Ni/Ag@C nanocomposites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results indicated that the nanocomposites were synthesized successfully and showed similar grain sizes and favorable dispersity. The electrochemical and electrocatalytic properties of the Ni/Ag@C nanocomposites were studied by cyclic voltammetry. An electrochemical investigation showed that the Ni/Ag@C nanocomposite modified GCE exhibited a good electrocatalytic ability for H2O2 reduction and it was used for the determination of H2O2. The linear range for H2O2 determination was from 0.03 mM to 17.0 mM with a detection limit of 0.01 mM (S/N = 3). The sensitivity was 22.94 μA mM−1 cm−2. It is expected that the application of the Ni/Ag@C nanocomposites could be extended to the construction of other sensors and applications in various sensing fields.

Due to the inertness and structural complexity of lignin, upgrading lignin to biofuels and fine chemicals still faces great challenges. In this paper, a one-pot method was used to catalyze straw lignin with H-ZSM-5 supported by Ni and Ru bimetals, and the lignin conversion rate reached 88.1%. The yield of monophenol was 19.5%, of which the yield of 4-ethylphenol and 4-ethylguaiacol was 4.9% and 3.8%, respectively. The 2D HSQC NMR analysis confirmed that the Ni–Ru/H-ZSM-5 catalyst had an obvious activity of breaking C β -O bonds before and after the reaction. The result showed that after loading metal Ni and Ru, the Lewis acid of the catalytic system was greatly increased, which caused electron transfer between Ni and Ru. 3Ni-1.5Ru/H-ZSM-5 had the strongest activity due to the largest synergy among Ni, Ru and H-ZSM-5. The synergy was the key factor leading to the cleavage of C–C and C–O bonds in straw lignin and the high-performance catalytic degradation of lignin. Besides, the effect of reaction solvent and hydrogen resource on upgrading lignin to fine chemicals over 3Ni-1.5Ru/HZSM-5 catalyst was also intensively investigated. This research developed a method for the direct conversion of lignin into valuable monophenols.

The construction and modulation of hierarchical pore structure in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has become a hot topic owing to the advantages of hierarchical pore MOFs (HP-MOFs) in matter storage and mass transfer related applications. Herein, we report the engineering of crystalline defect in a bimetallic MOF for the construction and tuning of HP-MOF. A microporous MOF system showing metal-center-dependent water stability, namely, {[M3F(bdc)3 tpt] (solvents)}n (M = Zn2+ and Ni2+, H2bdc = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid, tpt = 2,4,6-tris(4-pyridyl)triazine), was utilized as a platform for the construction of HP-MOF. By tuning the Zn2+/Ni2+ ratio in the reactant, a bimetallic MOF with a highly tunable Zn2+/Ni2+ ratio could be obtained. The relatively labile Zn2+-based coordination bonding in the bimetallic MOF could be readily and targeted broken through water treatment for the engineering of crystalline defects-based hierarchical pore structure. The resultant HP-MOF reveals a dramatically increased pore volume with the presence of mesopore and macropore. In addition, the anionic framework of HP-MOF could be utilized for the selective adsorption of a cationic dye methylene blue, and a relatively high capacity (250 mg·g–1, five times compared with the pristine microporous MOF) could be achieved.

The efficient utilization of renewable biogas has attracted ever-increasing interest in the past few decades. Ni–Ce1−xZrxO2 supported on monolithic SiC-F (named Ni–Ce1−xZrxO2/SiC-F) is developed and applied in biogas reforming. Monolithic Ni–Ce1−xZrxO2/SiC-F catalysts were comprehensively characterized by ICP-AES, XRD, SEM, HR-TEM, CO2-TPD, etc. The promotional roles of Ce1−xZrxO2 in coke elimination as well as CO2 activation were deeply analyzed via in situ CH4-TPSR/CO2-TPO and in situ H2-TPR/CO2-TPSR. Ni–Ce1−xZrxO2/SiC-F exhibits satisfactory catalytic activity and ability to inhibit sintering and coke-deposition due to (a) the homogeneous dispersion of Ni nanoparticles (NPs) and (b) the strong interaction between Ce1−xZrxO2 solid solutions and Ni NPs. At 900 °C and a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 24 000 mL gcat−1 h−1, an excellent CH4/CO2 conversion of 90/92% was initially achieved over the Ni–Ce1−xZrxO2/SiC-F catalyst, followed by a slight decrease after 150 h, but remained basically stable for the next 250 h.

In this paper, the acceleration effect of nickel (Ni) on the direct nitridation process of the diamond-wire saw powder (DWSP) was investigated. The DWSP doped with Ni additives were nitrided at different temperatures. To study the mechanism of accelerated nitridation, the thermodynamics of Si-O-N-Ni and nitridation processes were analyzed by FactSage 7.2 and single-crystal silicon blocks were also nitrided instead of the DWSP. The results revealed that Ni decreased the nitridation temperature at which the DWSP began to gain significant weight and exhibited an excellent accelerating effect on the nitridation of the DWSP. At 1300°C the DWSP containing 2.0 wt% Ni additives had been completely nitrided within 2 h, whereas the DWSP without Ni additives had not been nitrided yet. Based on the equivalent substitution experiment, it could be concluded that the presence of Ni additives accelerated the nitridation and promoted the formation of the α-Si 3 N 4 nanorods through facilitating the generation of the SiO(g) and destructing the silica film on the surface of silicon at lower temperature. Meanwhile, Ni additives also played an important part in the growth of α-Si 3 N 4 nanorods by forming liquid Ni-Si alloy in the product.

Hydrogen energy is regarded as one of the most important clean energy in the twenty-first century, and improving the catalytic efficiency of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is the basis for realizing the large-scale hydrogen production. Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) were proved to be efficient electrocatalysts for HER. In this work, we first synthesized the nickel-molybdenum bimetallic precursors, followed by high-temperature calcination in air. Finally, NiMoP/MoP nanorods (Ni–Mo–P NRs) was obtained by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of phosphating. The target catalyst of Ni–Mo–P NRs was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). For Ni–Mo–P NRs, the electrochemical test in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 solution for HER showed that the optimal feeding ratio was Ni:Mo = 1:1. And the Ni 1 –Mo 1 –P NRs presented an onset potential of 63.2 mV, and an overpotential of 117.9 mV was required to drive the current density of 10 mA cm −2 . Meanwhile, The Tafel slope, exchange current density ( j 0 ), electrochemical double-layer capacitance ( C dl ) were 58.6 mV dec −1 , 0.10 mA cm −2 , 12.6 mF cm −2 , respectively. Moreover, there was no obvious activity diminish of Ni 1 –Mo 1 –P NRs after a long-term stability and durability test.

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have potential applications in the field of energy storage due to high specific surface area and rich porosity, and captured widely attention in recent years. In this work, nickel/manganese-based MOFs (Ni/Mn-MOFs) were successfully fabricated by solvothermal reaction using 1,4-phthalic acid as the organic ligand, nickel nitrate hexahydrate, and manganese nitrate tetrahydrate providing center metal ions. The Ni/Mn-MOFs were analyzed by scanning electron microscope, powder X-ray diffraction, and nitrogen absorption/desorption isotherm. The results indicate that the obtained Ni/Mn-MOFs have coral-like microstructures and hierarchical pores with a specific surface area of 380.8 m 2 /g and an average pore diameter of 13.6 nm. Subsequently, the Ni/Mn-MOFs were used as the electrode materials for supercapacitors, and the electrochemical properties were investigated in the three-electrode system using 6.0 M KOH aqueous solution as the electrolyte. The results show that the specific capacitances of the coral-like Ni/Mn-MOFs are 531.5 and 317.9 F/g at the current density of 0.5 and 5 A/g, respectively. And the capacitance retention is 67.7% after 2300 cycles at 5 A/g, which implies that the coral-like Ni/Mn-MOFs have higher specific capacitance and favorable cycle stability. The above results indicate that the coral-like Ni/Mn-MOFs facilitate the electrolyte infiltration and ions transportation.

Transition metal phosphates (TMPs) are considered as promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their high theoretical capacity (up to 1000 mAh g −1 ) and low cost. However, the poor electrochemical reaction kinetics and large volume expansion of TMPs are not conducive to practical applications in SIBs. In view of this, a kind of self-supported iron nickel phosphide (Fe-Ni-P) composite nanosheet arrays are obtained by reasonable hydrothermal reaction and phosphidation process. The nanosheet arrays construction can significantly release the mechanical strain and promote electrochemical reaction kinetics. Furthermore, the volume expansion can be largely alleviated by the synergistic effect of Fe 2 P and Ni 2 P. Benefiting from the unique design, the robust Fe-Ni-P arrays manifest remarkable Na + storage capability. The Fe-Ni-P nanosheet arrays exhibit a large discharge capacity of 300.9 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g −1 . And there is a reversible capacity of 201.7 mAh g −1 can be maintained without obvious capacity loss after 200 cycles at 0.5 A g −1 in SIBs.

The discharge of widely used per- and poly-fluorinated compounds (PFCs) leads to their environmental prevalence, bioaccumulation and biotoxicity; and attracts researches focusing on their treatment in wastewater. Electrochemical reductive treatment is a promising alternative due to its milder reaction conditions and easy operation. The feasibility of electrochemical reductive decomposition of PFOA using a Rh/Ni cathode was explored. The Rh/Ni cathode was fabricated by coating Rh 3+ on Ni foil through electrodeposition . The Rh coating was primarily elemental and in a Rh(111) crystalline form. PFOA decomposition and defluorination were observed when using the Rh/Ni cathode where DMF was the solvent and the cathode potential was −1.25 V. A hydrodefluorination reaction was considered having occurred. Because possessing d electrons and empty d orbitals, the Rh coating enhanced PFOA adsorption onto the cathode surface and facilitated C F bond activation through Rh···F interactions. Moreover, the Rh(111) crystal helped chemisorb the generated H* and supply it participating in PFOA decomposition. With the continuous interaction of cathode-supplied electrons, C F bond would ultimately dissociate and transform to C H bond by H* substitution. Adding FeCp 2 * as a supporting electrolyte enhanced PFOA decomposition by working as the shuttle facilitating PFOA migration to the cathode surface.

Facilitating charge separation and increasing surface active sites have always been the goals of photocatalysis. Herein, we synthesized a Ni-doped Zn0.8Cd0.2S hollow sphere photocatalyst with a facile one-step hydrothermal method. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy mapping showed the high dispersion of Ni ions in the Zn0.8Cd0.2S hollow spheres. The experimental results confirmed that Ni doping reduced the band structure of the substrate, suppressed the recombination of photo-induced electrons and holes, and provided more reactive sites. Therefore, the photocatalytic activity had been greatly improved. As a consequence, the detected photocatalytic H2 evolution rate increased up to 33.81 mmol·h–1·g–1 over an optimal Ni doping (5 wt %) of Zn0.8Cd0.2S hollow spheres, which was 20.87-fold higher than that of pure CdS. Elemental mapping showed that the Zn element was mainly distributed in the outermost layer of the hollow spheres; this might be the critical factor that enabled Ni-doped ZnxCd1–xS to maintain excellent stability.

Iron phosphide (FeP) with high theoretical capacity (926 mAh g −1 ) and low voltage window for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) arouses extensive concern. However, inferior electron conductivity and FeP aggregation limit its applications. To settle these drawbacks, with the Ni doping, Ni-FeP@carbon (Ni-FeP@C) core–shell structure prepared by solvothermal method and phosphating process has been designed as the anode material for LIBs. Ni doping not only affected the morphology of FeP, but also improved electrical conductivity and excellent structural stability, accelerating the migration of lithium ions. Carbon shell coating promoted electron transfer and suppressed the volume fluctuation of FeP during discharge and charge process. As a consequence, the Ni-FeP@C composite delivered outstanding specific capacity (855.7 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 ) and long-cyclic performance (488 mAh g −1 after 1000 cycles at 2.0 A g −1 ). For the assembled full cell, the battery exhibited the promising cycling performance (50.4 mAh g −1 after 70 cycles at 0.1 A g −1 ). As expected, cation doping strategy in this work is of great significance for the further application of FeP materials in advanced lithium ion batteries.
