Heterogeneous catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of biomass-derived feeds is a deoxygenation process that is of highly interest. Carboxylic acids are one of the main components of bio-oils and acetic acid (AA) is one of the most abundant of these carboxylic acids. This acid is rich in oxygen, therefore there is a lot of research for to produce fuel and other valuable chemicals such as ethanol. ...

The in situ growth of metal organic framework (MOF) derivatives on the surface nickel foam is a novel type promising self-supporting electrode catalyst. In this paper, work reports for first time strategy Ni-MOF, where source purely provided by (NF) substrate without any external ions. MOF-derived Ni2P/NPC structure achieved subsequent phosphidation to yield Ni2P porous N, P-doped carbon (NPC) ...

The intrinsic sluggish conversion kinetics and severe shuttle effect in lithium—sulfur (Li-S) batteries are responsible for their poor reversible capacity cycling longevity, which have greatly hindered practical applications. To address these drawbacks, herein, we design construct a heterostructured Ni/Ni2P embedded mesoporous carbon nanosphere composite (Ni/Ni2P-MCN) boosting polysulfide catal...

Developing non-noble metal photocatalysts for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution is crucial exploiting renewable energy. In this study, a photocatalyst of Ni2P/CdS nanorods consisting cadmium sulfide (CdS) (NRs) decorated with Ni2P nanoparticles (NPs) was fabricated using an in-situ solvothermal method red phosphor (P) as the P source. NPs were tightly anchored on surface CdS NRs to fo...

Abstract Five different unsupported transition metal phosphides were synthesized and tested for hydrodeoxygenation of phenol in gas phase at 300 °C atmospheric pressure. The phosphide phases two steps: synthesis phosphates temperature programmed reduction. In situ X-ray diffraction reduction revealed the formation phases: Ni2P, MoP, CoP/CoP2, FeP WP. diffractograms showed that phosphate precurs...

The gas-phase hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of furfural, a model compound for bio-based conversion, was investigated over transition metal phosphide catalysts. HDO activity decreases in the order Ni2P ? MoP > Co2P WP ? Cu3P Fe2P. Nickel phases (e.g., Ni2P, Ni12P5, Ni3P) are most promising catalysts furfural HDO. Their selectivity to gasoline additives 2-methylfuran and tetrahydro-2-methylfuran can b...

SiO2-supported Ni phosphide catalysts are highly active toward the non-oxidative coupling of methane (NOCM) reaction, and their catalytic activity is strongly dependent on Ni:P ratio. We analyzed using X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) to elucidate structure-catalytic relationship. Because only Ni2P was available as a reference material, we calculated theoretical XAFS based crystal structu...

Hydrogen Evolution In article number 2204797, Hyeyoung Shin, Jun Young Lee, Jung Kyu Kim, and co-workers discover heteronuclei-mediated in situ growth of Ni2P nanospheres on a defect-engineered Ti3C2Tx MXene induces interfacial strain which leads to charge redistribution transfer, boosting the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction.

In this study, Ni2P-Cd0.9Zn0.1S (NPCZS) composites were synthesized by coupling tetrapod bundle Cd0.9Zn0.1S (CZS) and coralline-like Ni2P (NP) via a simple calcination method. CZS shows outstanding activity in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (1.31 mmol h?1), owing to its unique morphology heterophase homojunctions (ZB/WZ), which accelerate the separation transfer of photogenerated charges. Af...
