The dry reforming of methane (DRM) reaction is a beneficial method for employing CH<sub>4</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub>, both of which are significant greenhouse gases. Nevertheless, maintaining a stable reforming reaction proves challenging because of carbon buildup on the catalyst surface. Nickel-based catalysts have been extensively studied because of their unique properties. Utilizing density functional theory (DFT), this paper investigates the adsorption and growth processes of six-membered carbon ring with different numbers on different Ni surfaces. The adsorption configurations and growth behaviors of carbon rings on various surfaces are studied and analyzed. By calculating adsorption energy and average carbon binding energy through quantitative simulation, combined with density of state (DOS) and electronic orbital analysis, the results indicate that different Ni surfaces have varying degrees of binding with carbon rings. Graphite carbon binds most strongly to the Ni(100) surface compared with other surfaces. The surface resistance to carbon deposition follows this order: Ni(111) &gt; Ni(211) &gt; Ni(311) &gt; Ni(100).

Through defects design, various properties of graphene can be optimized, improved and regulated, and the application scope of graphene can be expanded. In this paper, a new approach to tuning the mechanical properties of graphene by introducing pore defects is proposed. The effects of inter-pore distance, pore arrangement, defect unit size, and the proportion of pore defects on the mechanical properties of monolayer graphene were systematically studied by molecular dynamics simulation, and the microscopic mechanism was revealed by the theoretical model. Through the design of pore defects, the strength (32.5–78.4 GPa), failure strain (0.048–0.12), and elastic modulus (707.69–924.19 GPa) of graphene can be regulated within a wide range. Most notably, this work reveals how the transition of graphene from brittleness to plasticity can be achieved by defect arranged. When the pore defects are arranged longitudinally, with only one carbon ring between the pores, and connected in an armchair pattern, graphene exhibits a distinct plastic interval, achieving a brittle-plastic transition. It is also found that the regulation of plastic platform stress and plastic interval strain can be realized by adjusting the size and transverse proportion of the defects.

Electrode materials based on nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) have attracted considerable attention as multifunctional materials due to their abundance in the Earth's crust, cost-effectiveness, and environmentally friendly properties. Herein, we have synthesized nickel cobalt layered double hydroxide (NiCo LDH) thin film on nickel foam (NF) via a facile one-step hydrothermal method at different reaction times of 4, 8 and 12 h. The NiCo LDH thin films synthesized at 120 °C for 12 h exhibited a highest specific capacitance of 1454 F/g at a current rate of 2 mA/cm<sup>2</sup> in 1 M KOH electrolyte.

Thus, the lower Tafel slope of 23 mV/dec of the NiCo LDH fabricated at 12 h is superior to that of the electrode fabricated at 8 h (38 mV/dec) suggesting faster reaction kinetics.

Its high dielectric conductivity, while analytically challenging, provides an ideal testbed for advanced interpretative frameworks such as the electric modulus formalism and Havriliak-Negami modeling.

Hydrogen has attracted much attention as one of the alternatives to traditional fossil fuels in the future.On this basis, preparing highly active and stable electrocatalysts to meet the need for efficient water decomposition is of great significance for achieving abundant hydrogen production, but it is still challenging to achieve this goal due to the slow kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER).We carried out such experiments and proposed that NiCoFeMnCrV catalyst co-constructed on nickel foam (NF) with vanadium vacancy can effectively improve electron and ion transport, effectively improve the structural stability, and achieve efficient water cracking work. The prepared NiCoFeMnCrV catalyst showed excellent OER and HER activities. At 10 mA‧cm<sup>−2</sup>, the overpotential of OER and HER are 225 and 126 mV respectively, and the catalyst could stand up to the long-term durability test for 60h. Construct an overall water splitting electrolysis bath by using the NiCoFeMnCrV as the electrocatalyst for both anode and cathode, it takes only 1.5V to reach 10 mA cm<sup>−2</sup> in alkaline water, the practical application prospect of high efficiency water electrolysis is shown. This study provides an effective means for the preparation of catalysts with metal vacancy to achieve efficient integral water cracking.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16811,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 112846"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144088725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
