The effective treatment of oily wastewater is of great significance for the protection of the ecological environment and human health. Aiming to prepare a membrane with excellent antifouling properties, a new active antifouling carbon cloth@Ni-Co LDH/Ag (CC@LDH/Ag) membrane was reported here via in situ hydrothermal growth and followed photo-deposition methods. The effects of Ag deposition on self-cleaning ability and surface wettability of CC@LDH/Ag membrane were studied. The experimental results showed CC@LDH/Ag membrane is superhydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic, and exhibited high separation efficiency (>98.6%) and high flux (6551–22,050 L m −2 h −1 ) for different kinds of oil/water mixtures. Moreover, CC@LDH/Ag membrane also displayed excellent environmental and mechanical durability. Good self-cleaning ability enabled CC@LDH/Ag membrane to be separated at least 30 times, and still maintained high separation performance. The self-cleaning CC@LDH/Ag membrane may hold great application prospects in oily wastewater remediation.

Electrochemical CO2reduction reaction (CO2RR) is eliciting considerable attention in relation to the carbon cycle and carbon neutrality. As for the practical application of CO2RR, the electrocatalyst is a crucial factor, but, even so, designing and synthesizing an excellent catalyst remains a significant challenge. In this paper, the coordination compound of Ni ions and dimethylglyoxime (DMG) was employed as a precursor to modify reduced graphene oxide (rGO) for CO2RR. The textural properties and chemical bonds of as-obtained rGO, N–C–rGO, Ni–rGO, Ni–N–C, and Ni–N–C–rGO materials were investigated in detail, and the role of Ni, N–C, and rGO in the CO2RR were researched and confirmed. Among all the catalysts, the Ni–N–C–rGO showed the optimal catalytic activity and selectivity with a high current density of 10 mA cm−2and FE(CO)% of 85% at −0.87 V vs. RHE. In addition, there was no obvious decrease in activity for 10 h. Therefore, the Ni–N–C–rGO is a promising catalyst for CO2RR to CO.Keywords:metallic Ni;N-doped carbon;reduced graphene oxide;electrocatalyst;electrochemical CO2reduction

Copper ions (Cu 2+ ) pollution in the water environment poses a great threat to the health function of life-sustaining metabolic activities. However, the current detection methods need relatively expensive instruments, complex operation procedures and long time, so a facile and direct detection method is desired to be developed. In this work, the Ni-based composite wires with p-n junction (the Ni/NiO/ZnO/Chitosan wire) and Schottky junction (the Ni/NiO/Au/Chitosan wire) were fabricated, and the barrier driven electrochemical sensing mechanism was studied. The direct and facile detection of Cu 2+ was achieved with a wide linear range (0–6000 nM) and a low LOD (0.81 nM). The excellent stability and recovery in real water samples made the Ni-based composite wires a promising candidate for the practical application. The interfacial barriers of semiconductor can be used as a special sensing factor to develop novel sensors.

In this work, Ni–Co alloy nanoparticles (NPs) on La-doped SiO2 showed excellent selectivity toward ethanol for direct ethanol synthesis via CO hydrogenation. Over the catalyst with an optimal ratio of Ni/Co, the total alcohol selectivity reached 33.5%, of which ethanol occupied 47.0 wt %. The results demonstrated that the interaction between Co and Ni improved the ability to activate H2 and CO and adjusted the amount of the dissociatively and associatively adsorbed CO. Besides, the mutual dilution of nickel and cobalt in Ni–Co alloy NPs effectively reduced the isolated Co or Ni-clusters; thus, the formation of heavy hydrocarbons was suppressed. In the reaction process, Ni@Co–Co2C, a core–shell composite with a nickel core and Co–Co2C shell, was formed, which suppressed the loss of nickel species. Moreover, with the reaction going on, a small amount of poorly alloyed Co-clusters would be covered gradually by the formed coke, resulting in an increase in alcohol selectivity.

Nickel-based metal-organic framework (Ni-MOF) was employed as a sacrificial template for the preparation of nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) under different hydrolysis time. The template etching rate varied at different hydrolysis time, resulting in variations of the structural and morphology of NiCo-LDHs. The NiCo-LDH/10 sample showed a large specific surface area and the well-oriented larger dimension of thinner sheets due to the sufficient in-situ etching of the Ni-MOF template. The NiCo-LDH/10 was an excellent heterogeneous catalyst to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for highly efficient Reactive Red-120 dye degradation. The results exhibited that the degradation efficiency of the NiCo-LDH/10-PMS catalyst was 89% for RR-120 dye within 10 min in the presence of the PMS system, which is higher than other NiCo-LDHs. Moreover, the other influencing factors such as PMS concentration, catalyst dosage, initial pH were also investigated towards degradation. The radical quenching measurement proved that the sulfate (SO 4 •− ) and hydroxyl (OH • ) had been indicated as the primary radicals. Besides, the NiCo-LDH/10-PMS catalyst showed excellent reusability even after five consecutive cycles (83.6% of the degradation efficiency). This work offer insight study on the construction of controlled morphology NiCo-LDH heterogeneous structure for high-efficiency PMS activation .

Keto-alcohols, which are traditionally produced from fossil resources with multisteps, are considered as important intermediates for diversified high-value-added fine chemical synthesis due to their involved carbonyl and hydroxyl groups. Herein, direct cellulose hydrogenolysis to C3-C4 keto-alcohol products (hydroxyacetone and 1(3)-hydroxy-2-butanone) was achieved over Ni-WOx/C catalysts with an W/Ni atom ratio of 1.0–5.0. The keto-alcohol yield was proposed to strongly depend on the W/Ni ratio and the catalyst annealing temperature. The highest keto-alcohol yield of 63% was obtained at the optimal balance of basic/acidic WOx species and metallic Ni. The introduction of Ni facilitated the formation of the basic W5+ sites, which enhanced the formation of basic sites at the Ni-WOx interface. The synergistic effect between the basic W5+ and acidic oxygen vacancy (Vö) could activate the target C–O/C═O bonds, promoting the isomerization of glucose and C3-C4 aldehyde intermediates with the assistance of the interfacial Ni. The cooperative adsorption of the −OH and −C═O groups at the Ni-O-W-Vö interface stabilized the adjacent ketone and hydroxyl groups and kept the other hydroxyl groups for hydrogenolysis, obtaining the final C3-C4 keto-alcohols. This work expanded the application of cellulosic biomass, enabling the green and sustainable synthesis of the high-value C3-C4 keto-alcohol products using lignocellulosic biomass as a raw material.

The major obstacles for catalytic cracking of biomass tar have been known as the low tar removal efficiency and catalyst deactivation . In view of this, the novel Ni nanoparticles embedded carbon nanofiber/porous carbon catalysts were synthesized by the method of hydrothermal treatment combined with carbothermal reduction . The properties of catalysts were evaluated by characterization of N 2 adsorption-desorption, SEM , XRD , TEM, H 2 -TPRand Raman, meanwhile the evolutionary mechanism of catalysts was also proposed. The tar catalytic cracking tests indicated that the Ni 0.30 @CF/PCs exhibited the favorable catalytic activity with the high tar conversion efficiency (94.78%) as well as the better catalytic stability at the catalytic cracking temperature of 700 °C compared to other catalysts. In the case of Ni 0.30 @CF/PCs, the carbon nanofiber/porous carbon composites with hierarchical micro-mesoporous structure and high graphitization degree as well as the Ni nanoparticles embedded in catalyst support with the strong metal-support interaction exhibited the favorable activity-structure relationship. In addition, the Ni 0.30 @CF/PCs catalyst also presented the high tar conversion efficiency of 93.31% after 10 cycles, which was due to the high resistance towards coke deposition and sintering of metallic Ni covered by graphite layer from the carbothermal reduction process.

In this work, we prepared the PtNi alloy nanoparticles on Al 2 O 3 (Al 2 O 3 –PtNi) via a simple wet-grinding method followed by a thermal reduction process. The as-prepared Al 2 O 3 –PtNi displayed a higher TOF of 426.84 mol H2 (mol Pt ·min) −1 toward the dehydrogenation of AB (ammonia borane) than Al 2 O 3 –Pt and Al 2 O 3 –Ni. Based on the theoretical calculations, an “electric-dipole” effect generated by the neighboring Pt–Ni atoms was found to facilitate the catalytic dehydrogenation process of ammonia borane (AB). The external electric field produced by the Pt–Ni dipole can elongate the B–H bond and increase the negative charges of H atoms on the BH 3 group, which helps to activate the B–H bond in the AB molecule, and thus enhances the kinetic process of catalysis.

Levoglucosenone (LGO) is a valuable chiral synthon and can be produced from pyrolysis of cellulose and biomass. In the present study, Ni-P-MCM-41 catalysts with various P-to-Ni ratios were prepared and employed for selective production of LGO from biomass. Both analytical pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) and lab-scale experiments were conducted to explore the effects of several factors on the formation of LGO, including P-to-Ni ratio in Ni-P-MCM-41, catalyst/sample ratio and pyrolysis temperature. The results revealed that all the Ni-P-MCM-41 catalysts, especially the one with a P-to-Ni ratio of 5, exhibited excellent catalytic capability and selectivity for LGO production. For Py-GC/MS, the maximal LGO yields of 27.34 wt% and 14.30 wt% were achieved from cellulose and pine at 350 °C with catalyst/cellulose ratio of 3 and catalyst/pine ratio of 2, respectively. While in lab-scale experiments, the highest LGO yields from cellulose and pine were 21.37 wt% and 10.71 wt%, with the corresponding selectivity of 78.31% and 53.75%, respectively. The Ni-P-MCM-41 catalyst possessed much better catalytic efficiency on the LGO production than previously reported catalysts, including H 2 SO 4 , H 3 PO 4 , solid superacid, solid phosphoric acid and activated carbon.

In this paper, hollow Ni − P nanospheres (NSs) are prepared through Ni electroless plating on the Au-activated silica NSs externally covered by aminopropyl moieties, followed by removing the silica template with sodium hydroxide. With various characterizations, the resulting hollow Ni − P NSs are identified to be amorphous alloy. During liquid-phase hydrogenation of sugars to sugar alcohols, the hollow Ni − P amorphous alloy NSs delivered much superior catalytic performances to the commercial Raney Ni catalyst, showing a good potential in practical applications. Of particular interest is the unique hollow chamber structure of the hollow Ni − P amorphous alloy NSs, which allows for improving catalytic activity and durability relative to those associated with the dense Ni − P amorphous alloy NSs. This work demonstrated that such hollow Ni materials with nanoporous chamber structure displayed advantages such as easy experimental handling and high accessibility for the reactants in liquid-phase reaction, more Ni active sites, as well as the existence of more electron-enriched inner surface, which is essential to provide highly efficient catalysts for some reactions.

N-Doped carbon-incorporated Ni2P/Ni was reasonably designed and synthesized from nickel-based metal organic framework (Ni-MOF) precursors via a novel simultaneous carbonization and phosphatization process. Interestingly, subtle phosphating significantly improves the energy storage performance of supercapacitors (SCs). Ni2P/Ni/C composites exhibit a good energy storage performance with a specific capacitance of 257.2 C g−1 at 1 A g−1. The corresponding hybrid supercapacitor achieves an energy density of 25.4 W h kg−1 at a power density of 750 W kg−1, ultrahigh electrochemical cyclic stability (98.2% retention after 4000 cycles) and nearly 100% coulombic efficiency with a Ni2P/Ni/C-100 positive electrode and a porous carbon negative electrode, respectively. These can be attributed to the synergetic effects of N-doped carbon and metal phosphates, which ensure good electrical conductivity and provide rich reactive sites as well as stable architecture. These results indicate that the controlled pyrolysis of MOFs is an effective method to design a kind of high-performance electrode material for hybrid supercapacitors.

The high catalytic performance of core–shell nanoparticles is usually attributed to their distinct geometric and electronic structures. Here we reveal a dynamic mechanism that overturns this conventional understanding by a direct environmental transmission electron microscopy visualization coupled with multiple state-of-the-art in situ techniques, which include synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy and theoretical simulations. A Ni–Au catalytic system, which exhibits a highly selective CO production in CO 2 hydrogenation, features an intact ultrathin Au shell over the Ni core before and after the reaction. However, the catalytic performance could not be attributed to the Au shell surface, but rather to the formation of a transient reconstructed alloy surface, promoted by CO adsorption during the reaction. The discovery of such a reversible transformation urges us to reconsider the reaction mechanism beyond the stationary model, and may have important implications not only for core–shell nanoparticles, but also for other well-defined nanocatalysts.
