The corrosion behavior of Ni-P coating deposited on 3003 aluminum alloy in flue gas condensate was investigated by electrochemical approaches. The results indicated that nitrite acted as a corrosion inhibitor. The inhibiting effect of nitrite was reduced in solutions containing sulfate or nitrate. Chloride and sulfate accelerated the corrosion of Ni-P coatings greatly. This can provide important information for the researchers to develop special Ni-P coatings with high corrosion resistance in the flue gas condensate.Keywords:electroless Ni-P coating;anion;3003 aluminum alloy;flue gas condensate;pitting corrosion

Modified natural biosorbents have been the research hot spot in wastewater treatment field. Natural polyphenol compounds, tannins with many functional groups can be easily modified to produce biosorbents. This work presents an environmentally friendly tannin-based dithiocarbamate (TDTC) with enhanced function of adsorption. TDTC was successfully synthesized by a two-step method involving Mannich reaction and esterification. The structure and synthetic mechanisms of TDTC were discussed through instrumental analysis. The BET-specific surface area analysis results showed that TDTC exhibited a mesoporous structure with an increased surface area. Parameters affecting adsorption such as initial pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, initial concentration, and temperature were systematically examined. Results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity toward Ni(II) of TDTC was 112.49 mg/g. In addition, TDTC exhibited a fast adsorption rate and 80% of the Ni(II) was removed within just 20 min. The adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm were well described by the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model, respectively. Moreover, TDTC could be easily regenerated without obvious loss of adsorption capability after five adsorption–desorption cycles. All these results indicate that TDTC is an ideal candidate for the efficient removal of Ni(II).

Hydrogen reduction of hierarchical spinel intermediates that were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method results in Ni/γ-Al2O3 nanocomposites with Ni nanoparticles (∼5.5 nm) well dispersed and embedded in nanoflakes of the hollow Al2O3 microspheres. The good dispersion of small metal nanoparticles and strong metal–support interactions that resulted from decomposition of spinel intermediates during reduction are essential for the efficient and sustainable high temperature dry reforming of methane (DRM) catalysis. The high surface area (170 m2 g−1) composite catalysts show coke and sintering resistance in long term DRM catalysis at 750 °C, the highest temperature ever tested for hierarchical nanostructures. Ni loadings and the calcination temperatures of the spinel intermediate are investigated for their effect on the morphology and the catalytic performance of the final catalysts. It is interesting that some initially non-active control catalysts can be activated during long term testing.

Magnetic FeNi@Ni nanocables were prepared as a superior recyclable catalyst towards the hydrogenation reduction of p-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol through a two-step tunable assembly process in a solvothermal system. The proposed fabrication mechanism was verified through characterization by SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, and UV-Vis. The as-prepared FeNi@Ni nanocomposites are core–shell-structured nanocables with Ni nanoparticles (NPs) attached on FeNi nanorods (NRs) surface loosely. The catalytic reactivity monitored by means of a UV-vis dynamic process shows FeNi@Ni nanocables can catalyse the transformation of p-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol completely under an ambient atmosphere at room temperature, and enable the catalysis to be more efficient than its counterparts FeNi NRs and Ni NPs due to the interfacial synergistic effect. Additionally, the resultant hierarchical metal–alloy nanocomposites possess ferromagnetic behaviour, and can be easily separated and recycled by an external magnet field for application.

Selective production of cyclohexanol from renewable lignin derived phenolic has been presented using the cost-efficient catalyst Ni/MgO which shows excellent catalytic activity in the hydrogenation reaction and dehydroxylation inhibition. Guaiacol, one of the most abundant lignin depolymerization products, was selected as the model compound. The hydrogenation performance of guaiacol was investigated over various catalysts. The effect of the reaction parameters was also studied. The results showed that guaiacol could be efficiently converted to cyclohexanol, which is a highly value-added precursor and additive for bio-fuel that is generally obtained from unsustainable fossil resources. Under the mild condition (160 °C, 3 h and 3 MPa H 2 ), more than 97.74% of guaiacol conversion with 100% cyclohexanol selectivity can be achieved in the presence of 20% Ni/MgO. Intensive catalyst characterization demonstrated that the efficient promotion effect of the base carrier for the Ni active center was responsible for efficient guaiacol conversion and selective cyclohexanol production. Furthermore, the Ni/MgO catalyst showed excellent recyclability, where no significant activity loss was observed even after four runs. Moreover, the reaction pathway and the catalytic mechanism are proposed.

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) embedded with various amounts of Ni and NiO nanoparticles (C/Ni–NiO) were prepared by electrospinning of polyacrylonitrile (PAN), followed by heat treatment. The structure and composition of the obtained C/Ni–NiO composite nanofibers were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The results suggested that the morphology, nanofiber diameter, and the content of the Ni–NiO nanoparticles in the CNFs were controlled by different amounts of nickel acetate added into the PAN. The electrochemical measurements of a charge/discharge experiment and a cyclic voltammetry test indicated that the content and the size of Ni–NiO nanoparticles embedded in the CNFs had a great influence on the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries. CNFs embedded with a certain content of Ni–NiO nanoparticles as binder-free anodes for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries exhibited improved electrochemical performance, including high reversible capacities, good capacity retention, and stable cycling performance. This is mainly ascribed to the formation of a well-distributed Ni–NiO nanoparticle structure and the buffering role of the carbon nanofiber matrix, together with the high theoretical capacity of NiO and the increase in electrode connectivity caused by the formation of electrochemically inactive Ni nanoparticles.

Here, the ultrathin Ni nanofilms loading ultrafine Pt nanoparticles (Ni/Pt nanocomposites) were synthesized by a simple substitution method for the electrocatalysis of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). First, the ultrathin Ni nanofilms were prepared by using NaBH4 to reduce Ni salt. Then the ultrafine Pt nanoparticles attached on the surface of the ultrathin Ni nanofilms through the onsite substitution reaction between PtCl62– and Ni element. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) experiment confirmed that Ni in Ni/Pt nanocomposites exists in the form of Ni(OH)2. Transmission electro microscope (TEM) study showed that the ultrafine Pt nanoparticles were sufficiently dispersed and loaded at Ni ultrathin nanofilms. The obtained Ni/Pt nanocomposites exhibited superior activity of HER and good stability in acidic media. It obtained 10 and 100 mA/cm2 with overpotential of only 36 and 115 mV, respectively. The stability experiment of 20 000 s gave nearly negligible current decrease. On the one hand, the ultrathin Ni nanofilms help to disperse and form the ultrafine Pt nanoparticles. On the other hand, the ultrathin Ni nanofilms help to load the ultrafine Pt nanoparticles as catalyst support and immobilize both of them onto the electrode surface because of the high surface free energy of ultrathin nanofilm and the leading high adsorption ability. In addition, Ni itself exhibited somewhat electrocatalytic activity of HER, which contributed to the whole HER electrocatalysis of Ni/Pt nanocomposites. The excellent electrocatalysis may lead to the decreased consumption of expensive Pt and open up new opportunities for applications in hydrogen energy.

Graphene oxide (GO) was rarely used as microwave absorption (MA) material due to its lower dielectric loss compared with reduced GO (RGO). However, the characteristics of low conductivity, light weight, and large surface area were beneficial to the impedance matching for absorbers already containing highly conductive metal materials. Cu@Ni nanowires are promising MA materials due to the desired dielectric loss from copper and excellent magnetic loss from nickel. However, the high density was an impediment to its further application. Combining Cu@Ni nanowires with GO should be an effective solution to decrease the absorber’s density and improve its MA properties. Herein, we demonstrated that Cu@Ni nanowires/GO composites exhibited enhanced MA capacities compared with Cu@Ni nanowires or GO alone, and the minimum reflection loss reached −42.8 dB at 16.9 GHz with a thickness of 2.1 mm. The enhanced MA performance mainly originated from good impedance matching, as a result of the addition of low conductivity of GO. To confirm this point, the MA performance of Cu@Ni nanowires/RGO was studied, and unsurprisingly, weak MA performance was obtained. Our work provides a new strategy to decrease the density, broaden the frequency band and tune MA performance of composites.

Herein, a novel ball milling-pyrolysis strategy was proposed for preparing a highly dispersed Ni 3 Fe nanoalloy catalyst (Ni 3 Fe@NC) used for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) electro-oxidation reaction. The Ni 3 Fe@NC delivered a high current density of 100 mA cm −2 at a low potential of 1.467 V vs RHE, with a HMF conversion rate of over 99.6 %, 2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) selectivity of 97.1 % and a Faraday efficiency of 96.7 %. Theoretical calculations, in-situ EIS, quasi-in-situ XRD and XPS demonstrated that Fe-doping optimizes the electronic structure of Ni 3 Fe@NC and regulates its d -band center, which not only promoted the reconstruction of Ni 3 Fe@NC to form high-oxidation-activity Ni 2+δ and Ni 3+δ species but also reduced the reaction barrier of the key rate-determining step (*5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA)→*5-formyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (FFCA)) during HMFOR. Based on this interesting work, we provided a facile macroscopic preparation strategy on highly dispersed nanoalloy catalyst for efficient electro-oxidation of HMF.

Accelerated industrialization combined with over-applied nitrogen fertilizers results in serious nitrate pollution in surface and ground water, disrupting the balance of the global nitrogen cycle. Electrochemical nitrate reduction (eNO 3 RR) emerges as an attractive strategy to simultaneously enable nitrate removal and decentralized ammonia fabrication, restoring the globally perturbed nitrogen cycle. However, complex deoxygenation-hydrogenation processes and sluggish proton-electron transfer kinetics significantly hinder practical application of eNO 3 RR. In this study, we developed carbon-coated Cu-Ni bimetallic catalysts derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to facilitate eNO 3 RR. The unique structural features of catalyst promote enhanced synergy between Cu and Ni, effectively addressing critical challenges in nitrate reduction. Comprehensive structural and electrochemical analysis demonstrate that electrochemical nitrate-to-nitrite conversion mainly takes place on active Cu sites, the introduction of Ni could efficiently accelerate the generation of aquatic active hydrogen, promoting the hydrogenation of oxynitrides during eNO 3 RR. In addition, Ni introduction could push up the d-band center of the catalyst, thus enhancing the adsorption and activation of nitrate and the corresponding intermediates. Detailed reaction pathways for nitrate-to-ammonia conversion are illuminated by rotating disk electrode (RDE), in-situ Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, in-situ Raman spectrum and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Benefiting from the synergistic effect of Cu and Ni, optimum catalyst exhibited excellent nitrate reduction performance. This work provides a new idea for elucidating the underlying eNO 3 RR reaction mechanisms and contributes a promising strategy for designing efficient bimetallic electrocatalysts.

Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) is a crucial technique for upgrading biomass-derived compounds, playing a significant role in the advancement of sustainable energy technologies. Under harsh reaction conditions, conventional HDO catalysts often suffer from reduced efficiency due to particle aggregation. This study presents a highly efficient Ni/Al 2 O 3 -C catalyst that mitigates this issue by stabilizing Ni metal particles and enhancing metal-support interactions. Characterization of the catalyst was carried out using XRD, TEM, and CO-TPD, which revealed that the incorporation of Al species improved metal dispersion and reduced the size of the Ni particles. Guaiacol, a phenolic compound derived from lignin, was chosen to evaluate the HDO performance under mild conditions. The optimized Ni/3Al 2 O 3 -5C catalyst achieved a guaiacol conversion of 99.9 % with a cyclohexane selectivity of 99.8 % at 210 °C. The outstanding performance is attributed to the high hydrogenation capacity of the small Ni particles and the acid sites on the carbon surface. Metal-support interactions stabilize the Ni particles, preventing leaching and deactivation. The catalyst has also exhibited comparable effectiveness in the HDO of both lignin-derived compounds and lignin-oils, confirming its adaptability across various substrates. The study demonstrates that Al 2 O 3 -C plays a crucial role in enhancing both the structural stability and catalytic efficiency of HDO catalysts, offering a promising approach for upgrading biomass-derived compounds.
