Alloy catalyst has been widely studied and used for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (NH 3 BH 3 , AB) with excellent catalytic performance due to the synergistic effect of bimetal . Herein, a series of Rh 1-x Co x /Ni@Ni–N–C catalysts were prepared by an impregnation reduction method. The optimized Rh 0.75 Co 0.25 /Ni@Ni–N–C catalyst exhibited good catalytic performance with turnover frequency of 223.08 mol H2 mol cat −1 min −1 at 303 K, but decreased the catalytic performance compared with Rh/Ni@Ni–N–C. According to the XPS and Raman analysis, the RhCo alloy nanoparticles could be loaded at the defect position of Ni@Ni–N–C, and the Co nanoparticles occupied the intercalation between Rh and the defective site of the carrier, which could weaken the catalytic activity of AB hydrolysis. Based on the above research, we proposed the catalytic mechanism of the activation of the RhCo–H species. This work provides a new strategy for designing alloy-supported nano-catalysts.

Graphical A simple ex situ wet chemical transformation method of alkali treatment was proposed to prepare Ni(OH) 2 nanostructured flowers with large specific surface areas from Ni-MOF-74. The relationship between concentration of alkali and the structure properties of corresponding Ni(OH) 2 was uncovered. As the results, the catalyst of Ni(OH) 2 -0.25 performed remarkably catalytic properties with lower potential, higher current density and excellent durability towards MOR among various samples. Post treatment of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is widely employed to develop efficient electrocatalysts with better catalytic properties. But the complex processes of post treatment generally led to the collapse of the original structures of MOFs, making the preservation of their pristine hierarchical porous structure a great challenge. Herein, we propose the strategy of alkali treatment of Ni-MOF to transform it into Ni(OH) 2 with similar morphology and enhanced electrocatalytic properties for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The structure and electrocatalytic properties of as-obtained Ni(OH) 2 nanostructured flowers were seriously depended on the alkali concentrations. As the result, Ni(OH) 2 obtained from Ni-MOF treated by 0.25 M NaOH (noted as Ni(OH) 2 -0.25) performs 1.5 and 2.5 times larger current density than those of Ni(OH) 2 -0.025 and Ni(OH) 2 -0.5 for MOR. Moreover, the electrocatalytic process and mechanism of MOR on the catalyst of Ni(OH) 2 -0.25 are also revealed. Hence, this ex situ conversion strategy of alkali treatment for Ni-MOF uncovered the transformation of MOFs in alkaline solution and develops robust electrocatalyst for practical application of methanol fuel cells.

To meet the requirements of energy-efficiency and high quality joining in the emerging industries field, a novel thermal explosion (TE) joining method was developed. The dissimilar Ni/316SS joint was first obtained by the TE reaction technology. The Ni-Al mixed powder was selected as TE reaction system, and the reaction product was used as interlayer. The effect of temperature (800, 850 and 900 °C), hold time (5, 10, 15 and 20 min) and joining pressure (0, 10, 20 and 30 MPa) on interfacial microstructure, diffusion behavior and mechanical properties of Ni/316SS joint were investigated. The maximum combustion temperature of Ni-Al interlayer during heating process was 1655 °C and a significant exothermic phenomenon was lasted for 2 s. 316SS(Al), Fe 2 Al 5 (Ni, Cr) and serration-like Ni 5 Al 3 and Ni 3 Al were detected at the interface containing a reaction layer because of element diffusion. The maximum shear strength of the Ni/316SS joint was 65.2 MPa, and the failure is characterized by typical brittleness fracture. The fracture mode is the combination of partial spalling and fracture of the interlayer. The post heat-treatment assisted TE joining technique significantly shortened the bonding process of the dissimilar Ni/316SS joint at moderate temperatures, realizing the low energy and efficient joining between Ni and 316SS.

Ni–Fe–Sn electrocatalyst supported on nickel foam (Ni–Fe–Sn/NF) with high efficiency of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has been successfully fabricated through one-step potentiostatic electrodeposition route. The optimized Ni–Fe–Sn/NF displayed an extremely low overpotential of, respectively, 144 and 180 mV at 50 and 100 mA cm −2 for HER in alkaline condition. Moreover, it could retain its superior stability for at least 12 h. The remarkable electrocatalytic activity of our electrocatalyst is ascribed to the high conductivity originated from synergistic effects between Ni, Fe, and Sn during HER process.

This work studies the antibacterial and anti-corrosion properties of nickel-graphene oxide (Ni-GO) composite coating and nickel-reduced graphene oxide (Ni-rGO) composite coating deposited by magnetic field assisted scanning jet electrodeposition on manganese steel . Agar plate assessment and cell live/dead staining were used to evaluate the antibacterial property of the two types of composite coatings. The Ni-GO and Ni-rGO composite coatings can effectively improve the antibacterial property of the substrate. The Ni-GO composite coating deposited with graphene oxide (GO) concentration of 0.5 g/L showed the most excellent antibacterial ability, and its antibacterial rate against E. coli and S. aureus within 2 h were 100% and 93%, respectively. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements indicated that the protective efficiency of the two types of composite coatings on the manganese steel reaches 99% after being immersed in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution for 7 days. The combined effect of barrier protection from GO-based materials (GO, rGO) and corrosion products effectively inhibits the corrosion behavior of the two types of composite coatings.

Low-cost and highly efficient electrocatalysts are highly desirable to improve the efficiency of water splitting for oxygen evolution. In this work, a self-supported ternary Ni–Fe–Sn film on three dimensional nickel foam, which is prepared through a simple electrodeposition method, is investigated as oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalyst. The Ni–Fe–Sn film displays a considerably low overpotential of 253 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 and a small Tafel slope of 61.5 mV dec −1 and excellent long-term stability for OER in 30% KOH aqueous solution. The good OER performance of Ni–Fe–Sn film may originate from its high electrochemical active surface area, rapid electron/proton and mass transfers, and the close combination between Ni–Fe–Sn film and nickel foam. This work provides a guideline to develop the low-cost and efficient earth-abundant OER anodes.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely recognized as precursors or sacrificial templates for the synthesis of target catalysts on account of their high porosity and high active surface area . Elemental doping strategy is considered as an effective method for the synthesis of efficient and stable catalysts for electrolytic water. Therefore, in this paper, Ce-doped Ni(OH) 2 nanoparticles and Ni-MOF nanosheets composites were synthesized by electrodeposition using Ni-MOF as precursor. Catalyst Ce–Ni(OH) 2 @Ni-MOF/NF displays excellent OER performance, requiring only 193 mV and 279 mV overpotentials to realize current densities of 10 mA cm −2 and 100 mA cm −2 , respectively, while the UOR performance was very remarkable, only a potential of 1.28 V was demanded to reach a current density of 10 mA cm −2 . In addition, no obvious change in the overpotential was noticed during the stability test of 16 h, indicating good stability of Ce–Ni(OH) 2 @Ni-MOF/NF. This study provides a meaningful reference for the design of an efficient and stable environmental friendly electrocatalyst .

The traditional impregnation method for preparing supported catalysts often faces challenges such as particle agglomeration and weak support–metal interactions. This study focuses on utilizing the exsolution method to prepare Fe, Co, and Ni supported catalysts from ABO3-type perovskites, aiming to overcome these challenges. Experimental results show that LaBO3 perovskites with different B site metals (B = Fe, Co, Ni) exhibit different metal exsolution kinetics in the ammonia synthesis reaction. LaNiO3 demonstrates an initial activity of 782.2 μmol g−1 h−1 within the first 2 hours of the reaction, maintaining stability beyond 80 hours. In contrast, LaFeO3 and LaCoO3 exhibit prolonged initiation periods for the metal exsolution process, reaching activities of 7873.8 μmol g−1 h−1 and 8046.7 μmol g−1 h−1, respectively, after approximately 80 hours. The degree of B-site metal exsolution was investigated using X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and Rietveld refinement of XRD data, revealing exsolution rates of 72.03%, 69.3%, and 86.3% for Fe, Co, and Ni, respectively, after 80 hours of reaction. This study not only introduces the exsolution method for ammonia synthesis but also empirically validates several computational predictions, thereby supporting both theoretical and practical research.

The electrochemical water splitting to produce H 2 in high efficiency with earth-abundant-metal catalysts remains a challenge. Here, we describe a simple “cyclic voltammetry + ageing” protocol at room temperature to activate Ni electrode (AC-Ni/NF) for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), by which Ni/Ni(OH) 2 heterostructure is formed at the surface. In situ Raman spectroscopy reveals the gradual growth of Ni/Ni(OH) 2 heterostructure during the first 30 min of the aging treatment and combined with polarization measurements, it suggests a positive relation between the Ni/Ni(OH) 2 amount and HER performance of the electrode. The obtained AC-Ni/NF catalyst, with plentiful Ni–Ni(OH) 2 interfaces, exhibits remarkable performance towards HER, with the low overpotential of only 30 mV at a H 2 -evolving current density of 10 mA/cm 2 and 153 mV at 100 mA/cm 2 , as well as a small Tafel slope of 46.8 mV/dec in 1 M KOH electrolyte at ambient temperature. The excellent HER performance of the AC-Ni/NF could be maintained for at least 24 h without obvious decay. Ex situ experiments and in situ electrochemical-Raman spectroscopy along with density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that Ni/Ni(OH) 2 heterostructure, although partially reduced, can still persist during HER catalysis and it is the Ni–Ni(OH) 2 interface reducing the energy barrier of H∗ adsorption thus promoting the HER performance.

Designing the efficient, low-cost and stable electrocatalyst is of great significance for storage and conversion of the renewable energy to hydrogen. Herein, the binder-free Ni–Fe–S electrocatalysts were directly electrodeposited on Ni foam, which exhibited the excellent hydrogen evolution reaction performance with the overpotential of 51.4 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm −2 . Based on the analysis and results of as-synthesized Ni, Ni–Fe and Ni–S, the boosted electrocatalytic activity can be attributed to the composite effect between Ni and the introduced Fe and S. Additionally, the Ni–Fe–S electrocatalysts also displayed the low cell voltage (1.59 V at 10 mA cm −2 ), remarkable durability and high Faraday efficiency in overall water electrocatalysis . Moreover, the water electrolysis device with Ni–Fe–S bi-electrodes can be driven by a small wind power generation and producing 4 mL H 2 in 39 min, indicating the prepared Ni–Fe–S electrocatalyst has the great potentials in producing hydrogen via renewable energy.

Exploring highly active, low-cost electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of great significance but still a major challenge. Here, we synthesized Ni(OH)2@Ni(Fe)OOH with a sea urchin structure on nickel foam via a simple hydrothermal and subsequent soaking process. Experimental results indicate that incorporation of Fe into Ni(OH)2 is favorable for modulate the electronic structure, faster electron transfer and improved intrinsic activity, thereby leading to excellent OER activity. The optimized Ni(OH)2@Ni(Fe)OOH exhibits superior OER activity with overpotentials of 245 and 310 mV at 10 and 100 mA cm-2, respectively, and a small Tafel slope of 40.7 mV dec-1, and along with high stability over 100 h, which is more active than benchmark RuO2 and sever control samples without introduction of Fe. More importantly, the overall water splitting system by using Ni(OH)2@Ni(Fe)OOH-100 as anode and Pt/C as the cathode only requires a cell voltage of 1.54 V to afford 10 mA cm-2. This work not only demonstrate the key factor of Fe doping, but also offers a new path for the development of NiFe-based OER catalysts.

A unique “Ce→W→Ni” electronic conjugation channel is constructed. • Theoretical calculations confirm an optimized electronic structure and the d -band center. • In situ Raman results reveal the formation of the “H-down” configuration. • The as-prepared Ce-Fe(Ni)WO 4 /NF exhibits an outstanding HER activity. Orbital hybridization between metal compounds can modulate the electronic structure and d -band center of catalysts to optimize the adsorption energy barriers of reaction intermediates, consequently efficiently regulating catalytic performance. Herein, a Ce and Ni co-doped iron tungstate nanosheet on nickel foam (Ce-Fe(Ni)WO 4 /NF) is rationally designed as an efficient electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In situ Raman results reveal that the evolution of interfacial water promotes the formation of the “H-down” configuration to expedite the Volmer process for proton generation at the interface. Theoretical calculations confirm that the Ce/Ni co-doping effectively optimizes the electronic structure and the d -band center. Specifically, a unique “Ce→W→Ni” electronic conjugation channel is constructed to regulate the spin state of Ni, and Ni and Ce act as the dual catalytically active sites for favorable intermediate adsorption (Ce for water/hydroxy adsorption and Ni for hydrogen adsorption), thereby lowering the kinetic barrier of HER. Thus, the as-prepared Ce-Fe(Ni)WO 4 /NF exhibits an outstanding HER activity with a low overpotential of 63 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and stable operation for 120 h at 250 mA cm −2 . Moreover, Ce-Fe(Ni)WO 4 /NF also possesses bifunctional catalytic activity for the urea oxidation reaction (UOR), offering a promising route toward low-energy-consumption hydrogen production. This work provides new insights and a theoretical basis for designing high-performance alkaline HER electrocatalysts via multi-element electronic conjugation.
