A reasonable introduction of MOFs-derived Ni 2 P with high dispersion is a valid way to reduce the recombination rate of photogenerated electron holes , thus enabling more effective visible light-driven water splitting. Herein, the MOF-on-MOF strategy was used to prepare Ni 2 P@UiO-66-NH 2 by in situ growth of Ni-MOF on UiO-66-NH 2 followed by vapor-phase phosphating, and the composite photocatalyst of CdS/Ni 2 P@UiO-66-NH 2 was obtained by a facile ultrasound method in solvent. UiO-66-NH 2 provides the growth site for Ni-MOF, enabling uniform dispersion of Ni 2 P and the firmly anchoring of CdS. By adjusting the proportion of Ni 2 P@UiO-66-NH 2 , the light absorption capacity and photocatalytic activity can be further optimized. The hydrogen production efficiency of CdS/Ni 2 P@UiO-66-NH 2 can reach up to 2103 µmol·g −1 ·h −1 , which is about 7 times higher than that of pure CdS. The improvement of the photocatalytic performance of CdS/Ni 2 P@UiO-66-NH 2 composites can be mainly ascribed to the increased active sites exposure, well dispersion of CdS, and the creation of multiple heterojunctions , which tune the band gap, broaden the visible light absorption, and facilitate the carrier separation. This work offers an efficient synthetic strategy for creating ternary composites with remarkable catalytic activity and high stability for hydrogen evolution .

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with bimetallic centers are considered as promising electrode materials for supercapacitors due to the large specific surface area and potential redox sites. In this work, the internal structure evolution, electron transfer in the metal center, and the mechanism of action of the Mn dopant to enhance conductivity in electrochemical processes are discussed. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the introduction of Mn ions greatly reduces the band gap of the Ni-MOF and increases the carrier concentration, confirming the electron transfer process of electrons from Ni2+ to Mn2+ through the bridging oxygen. Therefore, the optimal NiMn-MOF produces an impressive specific areal capacity of 1.89 mA h cm−2 at 1 mA cm−2. Meanwhile, a hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) based on the NiMn-MOF electrode and activated carbon (AC) can output a high specific energy of 67.5 W h kg−1 at a specific power of 84.5 W kg−1 with excellent cycling stability (capacity retention of 94% after 10 000 cycles). Taking advantage of the high-energy storage properties of the NiMn-MOF//AC supercapacitor device, a solar power generation system is further integrated for self-powered portable electronic applications. This work broadens the applicability of activity prediction for bimetallic MOF electrode materials with high electrochemical performance.

Nickel-based catalysts demonstrate considerable promise for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), yet attaining both exceptional activity and sustained durability under prolonged operation persists as a critical research challenge. Herein, a directed self-growth strategy is employed to synthesize Ni-MOF nanosheets with a well-ordered morphology on the nickel foam (NF) surface via strong acid etching followed by ligand introduction. The dense Ni2+ layer generated by acid etching, as a seed, promotes strong bonding between the Ni-MOF and the NF substrate, which accelerates electron transport to the active layer and prevents catalyst detachment during long-term operation. Additionally, the Ni/NiO heterostructure obtained via pyrolysis forms an electron transfer channel that optimizes *H and *H2O adsorption on the Ni side while facilitating *OH desorption through its migration to the NiO domain, collectively contributing to improved HER kinetics. In situ Raman spectra reveal the evolution of key intermediates during the HER, corroborating the DFT predictions and highlighting the critical role of interfacial H2O structures in catalytic performance. The obtained S-Ni-MOF/NF-400 catalyst exhibits an ultralow overpotential (20 mV–10 mA cm–2), surpassing commercial Pt/C catalysts. Moreover, long-term stability tests demonstrate significant improvements in durability. This work not only introduces an outstanding Ni-MOF-based catalyst but also presents a novel strategy for designing highly active and stable HER catalysts.

Heterojunction engineering has garnered significant attention in photocatalysis as an effective strategy to address the rapid carrier recombination dynamics in semiconductor photocatalysts. The core challenge in constructing high-performance heterojunction systems lies in establishing optimized interfacial connections to achieve directional charge carrier migration. This study proposed a temperature-regulated band engineering strategy, through precise control of Ni-MOFs growth temperature and integration with WO 3-x possessing exceptional photothermal conversion capacity, to successfully construct an efficient Z-scheme heterojunction system. When the synthesis temperature of the Ni-MOF reached 140 °C, its conduction band negatively shifted to −1.2 eV (vs. NHE), resulting in a well-matched Z-scheme heterojunction with WO 3-x . The optimized 140-Ni-MOF/WO 3-x heterojunction demonstrated remarkable enhancement in charge separation efficiency while preserving strong redox capabilities through the Z-scheme charge transfer pathway. Under mild gas-solid reaction conditions (H 2 O as electron donor), the optimized catalyst exhibited excellent CO 2 reduction performance, achieving a CO production rate of 111.17 μmol·g −1 with 96.92 % selectivity. The temperature-depended modulation strategy for MOF electronic band structure proposed in this study paved the way for constructing efficient MOF-based photocatalysts.

In this research, we report a simple and cost-effective method for the preparation of two-dimensional (2D) Ni 2 P-Ni(PO 3 ) 2 derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) via a one-step thermal phosphorization strategy. The resulting material is employed to significantly enhance the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance of zero-dimensional (0D) CdS nanoparticles. Through an ultrasonic-assisted strategy, the CdS nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed on the surface of Ni 2 P-Ni(PO 3 ) 2 , leading to the successful fabrication of a Ni 2 P-Ni(PO 3 ) 2 /CdS composite with substantially enhanced photocatalytic performance. Under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm) using Na 2 S-Na 2 SO 3 as sacrificial agents, the 3 wt% Ni 2 P-Ni(PO 3 ) 2 /CdS composite demonstrated a remarkable photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 2235 µmol g −1 h −1 , which is approximately 7.5 times higher than that of pristine CdS (297 µmol g −1 h −1 ). Over a 20 h cycling experiment, the composite catalyst demonstrated remarkable stability, maintaining around 78 % of its initial hydrogen generation efficiency. The enhanced performance of the composite is ascribed to the role of Ni 2 P-Ni(PO 3 ) 2 in facilitating the separation of photoinduced charge carriers from CdS and improving electrical conductivity. A possible electron-hole transfer mechanism is proposed based on the experimental findings. This work is expected to be helpful in fabricating efficient CdS photocatalysts.

As a safe and efficient hydrogen storage material, ammonia borane (NH3–BH3, AB) shows great promise in the era of clean energy advocated by hydrogen. Thus, it is imperative to focus on the exploitation of high-performance heterogeneous catalytic systems for the effective utilization of hydrogen energy stored in AB. However, noble metal catalysts as high-efficiency systems suffer from high expenditure, and the traditional powder-based catalyst faces poor processability and recoverability. Herein, a bimetallic (Co/Ni) MOF-derived CoNiP/hierarchically porous carbon (HPC) monolithic aerogel was successfully prepared by the gelation–carbonization–phosphorization method and applied in the hydrolysis of AB. The ultrasmall transition bimetallic phosphide CoNiP nanoparticles were uniformly fabricated in the hierarchically porous aerogel after pyrolysis. Benefiting from the rapid mass transfer and high exposure of well-defined CoNiP-active species within the hierarchical aerogel support, the Co0.3Ni0.7P/HPC aerogel performed high hydrogen evolution activity and exhibited fast hydrogen generation rate with a completion time of 2 min under mild conditions. The theoretical calculations reveal the key effects of the adsorption energies between AB and water on CoNiP-active sites in the Co0.3Ni0.7P/HPC aerogel. Furthermore, the Co0.3Ni0.7P/HPC monolithic aerogel catalyst can be effortlessly separated and recycled at least 10 times without a remarkable loss of activity. The controllable design of P-doped bimetallic species in the porous aerogel herein should serve as the foundation for the preparation of practical functional monolithic applied catalysts for the hydrolysis of AB.

Understanding of the structure and interfacial merits that reactive metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) undergo is critical for constructing efficient catalysts for non-thermal plasma-assisted conversion of greenhouse gases. Herein, we proposed a free-standing bimetallic (Co/Ni) MOFs supported on bacterial cellulose (BC) foams (Co/Ni-MOF@BC) toward the coaxial dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma-catalytic system, of which the Co/Ni ions coordination demonstrated an intriguing textual uplifting of the malleable BC nanofiber network with abundant pores up to micrometer-scale, which could impart a more intensive predominant filamentary microdischarge current to 180 mA with stronger plasma-catalytic interaction. Remarkably, compared to the monometallic MOF@BC foams, this bimetallic Co/Ni-MOF@BC also delivered a substantially improved alkaline absorption ability as further confirmed by the CO 2 - temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) result. Benefiting from its 3D superiority and synergy of Co/Ni dual-regulation, the Co/Ni-MOF@BC, therefore, displayed the highest CO 2 and CH 4 conversion rates to 52.31 % and 71.50 %, which was above 1.5 and 1.3 times higher than those of monometallic counterparts and Co/Ni-MOF powder. Additionally, its robust cycling performance has also been evidenced by the excellent long-time DRM performance, unchanged crystallinity, morphology, and surface chemical states. By taking both the catalyst existing form and interfacial optimization of MOFs into consideration for designing a unique DRM catalyst, we believed this free-standing 3D Co/Ni-MOF@BC foams could inspire more research outputs on the design of functional catalysts with abundant pores and alkaline absorption sites to accelerate the redox kinetics of CO 2 /CH 4 conversion.

Harvesting solar energy for efficient photothermal conversion and steam generation over solar evaporators is particularly significant in the context of comprehensive solar utilization toward solving the global shortage of fresh water. Herein, a flexible Ni-based metal–organic framework composite (NMC) with hierarchical structures is constructed as a photothermal material for solar steam-generation devices. Besides, a phase change material (PCM)-based thermal storage pack is incorporated into the solar evaporator to overcome the solar radiation intermittency. By virtue of the synergistic effect of the promising 3D structure and excellent water transport, the NMC-PCM evaporator possesses an outstanding evaporation performance (2.55 kg m−2 h−1) under 1 sun irradiation. More strikingly, owing to the enhanced light-to-heat performance as well as large heat storage capacity, the proposed evaporator achieves a high water-evaporation rate of 1.46 kg m−2 h−1 without sunlight irradiation. This work opens up opportunities to realize excellent energy capture for solar-driven clean water production and solar thermal storage not only under sunlight incidence but also in no light environment.

Covalent-organic frameworks (COF) and metal–organic frameworks (MOF) were promising precursors for porous carbon-based materials. Calcining individual COF or MOF is usually unfavorable when preparing electrochemical active materials that combine sensitivity, stability, and selectivity. In this work, calcining a core–shell structural Ni-MOF@COF TAPB-DVA prepared a yolk-shell structural composite (YS-Ni@NC), in which the N-doped carbon shell (NC) encapsulated the Ni nanoparticles yolk (NiNPs). A highly selective dopamine electrochemical sensor (YS-Ni@NC/GCE) was developed based on the YS-Ni@NC modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The NiNPs yolk in the derivates provided excellent electrocatalytic activity, and the N-doped carbon shell improved the composite conductivity, enhanced the structural stability, and reduced the nonspecific adsorption of uric acid and ascorbic acid through electrostatic repulsion force. The YS-Ni@NC/GCE electrode exhibited higher selectivity for dopamine than the control electrodes in the presence of uric acid and ascorbic acid due to the electrostatic interaction between YS-Ni@NC and the small molecules. At the optimal experimental conditions, the DA sensor showed a linear concentration range of 0.136∼70.0 μM with a detection limit of 0.041 μM. In addition, the electrochemical performance of the sensor was stable when stored at room temperature for 30 days. Preparation of the yolk-shell structural MOF@COF derivates provided a new approach for fabricating highly selective non-enzymatic dopamine electrochemical sensors.

1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate (BTC) and 4,4′-bipyridine (BIPY) are employed in the synthesis of dual ligands Ni-MOFs. The magnetic Ni@CN nanocatalyst is prepared by direct pyrolysis of Ni-MOFs in N 2 atmosphere, which exhibited excellent activity in selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene (NB) to aniline (AN) at 60 °C, 2.0 MPa H 2 . The conversion of NB can reach 99.1 mol%, and the selectivity of AN is over 99 %. A series of characterizations are obtained by XRD, Raman, XPS, SEM, TEM, TPR and TGA. It is found that the synergic effect of Ni species and N contributes to the increase of catalytic activity of the catalyst. Cycling tests proved that the prepared catalyst could be reused ten times without a visible reduction in catalytic activity of hydrogenation. The excellent stability and activity of Ni@CN nanocatalyst could be assigned to the porosity of carbon material doped with nitrogen, derived from dual ligands Ni-MOFs.

In this work, spherical Ni-based metal-organic frameworks (Ni-MOFs) were used as precursors for preparing nanorod-like nickel phosphate (r-NiPO) with enhanced electro-catalytic properties in detection of glucose. It was found that the addition of nickel ion has a profound effect on construction of nickel phosphate with flower-like, rod-like, and ribbon-like structure in presence of H 2 PO 2 − . The r-NiPO consisted of multiple phases of nickel phosphate showed porous, interconnected structure and abundant active Ni(II)/Ni(III) pairs, which was beneficial to facilitate glucose oxidation. In comparison with Ni-MOF, r-NiPO exhibited the superior electrocatalytic property on oxidation of glucose because of the exposing more active Ni sites in r-NiPO than that of Ni-MOF precursor. r-NiPO modified glassy carbon electrode (r-NiPO/GCE) showed a good linear response to glucose from 1.0 μM to 3.0 mM with a high sensitivity of 3169 μA mM −1 cm −2 . In addition, r-NiPO/GCE can be used to detect glucose in human serum with satisfactory recoveries (90–97%).

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with porous structures are beneficial for electrochemical energy storage. Herein, the in-situ growth of the S-doped Ni-MOF nanosheet (S-NMN) on the surfaces of nickel foams was prepared via a facile solvothermal process. Owing to the rich active sites, small transport barrier, and excellent mechanical stability, the fabricated S-NMN-2 electrode displays a high specific capacity (1952 mF cm–2 at 1 mA cm–2), satisfactory rate performance, and remarkable cyclic stability. For practical application, the assembled S-NMN-2//AC device achieves a high energy density of 0.189 mWh cm–2 at the power density of 1.600 mW cm–2 with prominent cycling stability (93.27% capacity retention after 4000 cycles). The facile strategy of etching nickel foam demonstrates a new idea for developing high-performance supercapacitor materials.
