In this work, we provide a facile route to prepare Ti-doped NiCo-LDH/NF electrocatalysts with M–O–Ti (M = Ni, Co) covalent bonds via a rapid immersion method for the OER process. The experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidate that the doping of Ti (M–O–Ti) not only exfoliates the NiCo-LDH nanosheets into spheres but also causes lattice distortion to produce more oxygen vacancies, which promotes faster exchange of intermediates and improves the electron transfer efficiency. These superior physical characters endow Ti-NiCo-LDH with an excellent overpotential of 319 mV at a current density of 50 mA cm−2, which is markedly lower than that of NiCo-LDH (391 mV at 50 mA cm−2). Even at a high current density of 100 mA cm−2, NiCo-LDH displays an overpotential of 429 mV, whereas Ti-NiCo-LDH is capable of achieving an overpotential of 353 mV. Moreover, the water electrolyzer based on the Ti-NiCo-LDH bifunctional catalyst requires a low cell voltage of 1.60 V to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm−2, and the Ti-NiCo-LDH catalyst has been successfully applied for solar cell-driven water electrolysis and the corresponding voltage is about 1.61 V. This work offers a novel strategy to fabricate high activity NiCo-LDH with rich oxygen vacancies toward the OER process.Keywords: Ti-doping; NiCo-layered double hydroxide; Oxygen vacancy; Oxygen evolution reaction.","PeriodicalId":29808,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Chemistry & Materials","volume":" 3","pages":" 342-352"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/im/d5im00007f?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144117513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the demand for clean energy grows, hydrogen (H2), which does not emit CO2 during combustion, is emerging as a promising energy resource. Among the various hydrogen production technologies, water electrolysis is attracting attention as a method for producing green hydrogen without carbon emissions. However, its high reaction overpotentials, due to complex reaction pathways, are a major factor limiting its energy efficiency. To address these issues, chemical-assisted water electrolysis is considered as an innovative alternative. This technology enables hydrogen production at lower voltages. Moreover, it can generate high-value products and remove pollutants, providing both environmental and energy benefits. In this review, we introduce various types of chemical-assisted water electrolysis and discuss the latest advances in catalyst design and reaction mechanisms aimed at reducing applied system voltage.

Despite growing interest, a significant gap persists between the depth of existing studies and the practical approach to on-the-spot hydrogen generation using ammonia decomposition. The creation of effective and accessible catalysts to feed ammonia decomposition is a critical step in addressing this daunting challenge. This paper systematically summarizes four key catalyst design strategies, including size effect, alkalinity modulation, metal–support interactions, and alloying, informed by experimental and theoretical investigations into ammonia decomposition. Each strategy's underlying mechanism for enhancing ammonia decomposition is elucidated in detail. Moreover, the paper categorizes catalysts employed in existing ammonia decomposition reactors to guide future catalyst development. The influence of diverse energy sources and reactor configurations on catalyst performance is also discussed to provide a comprehensive framework for advancing ammonia decomposition catalyst research.Keywords: Ammonia decomposition reaction; Catalyst design; Particle size effect; Adjustment of alkalinity; Strong metal–support interaction; Alloying effect.","PeriodicalId":29808,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Chemistry & Materials","volume":" 3","pages":" 311-331"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/im/d4im00112e?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144117511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the preparation of recyclable PUFs using commercially available soy polyols (Cargill's BiOH), aiming to enable improved thermal reprocessability of flexible PUFs via vitrimer chemistry. A series of “soy-PUFs” was produced by partially substituting petrochemical polyether polyols with 25% or 50% soy polyols in a standard reference formulation. Incorporation of soy polyols resulted in an increase in the stiffness of the resulting foams. Employing a modest amount (∼0.5 wt%) of dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) in the formulations facilitated dynamic covalent bond exchanges in the cross-linked network during a mild “foam-to-sheet” reprocessing process (160 °C), converting malleable PUFs into densified sheet materials (PUS) with proper compactness and mechanical performance (e.g., tensile modulus = ∼50 MPa). Soy-PUFs demonstrated a modestly enhanced stress relaxation behavior, suggesting adequate reprocessing ability. DMA results demonstrated the phenomenon of forming an “intermediate” region between the hard and soft domains of PUSs after reprocessing.Keywords: Polyurethane foam; Soybean oil; Polyols; Vitrimer chemistry; Reprocessing; Recycling.","PeriodicalId":29808,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Chemistry & Materials","volume":" 2","pages":" 231-245"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/im/d4im00117f?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143667790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Microbial methane degradation offers a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution with considerable potential for development. However, the slow mass transfer rate often hinders the process, necessitating improvements to enhance methane degradation efficiency. This research introduces an innovative in situ coupling strategy that leverages methanotrophic bacteria's high selectivity and adsorbents' rapid adsorption capabilities. Initially, the dominant strain of methane-degrading bacteria was isolated from rice paddies. Following this, the strain was characterized as methanotroph and its physicochemical properties were investigated to optimize its gas-degrading efficiency. Subsequently, the synthesis of HKUST-1@SBA-16 composites was achieved by incorporating mesoporous silica SBA-16 into HKUST-1, resulting in materials with superior stability and adsorption characteristics. Subsequently, accelerated methane biodegradation was achieved through the in situ coupling of the methanotroph T2 with the HKUST-1@SBA-16 composite. Under optimal conditions, the methane degradation rate within the HKUST-1@SBA-16-T2 system reached 98.65%. This study introduces an innovative approach to the efficacious mitigation of methane emissions achieved by integrating natural microbial processes with metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). This comprehensive strategy is important for preventing coal mine gas outbursts, and this is of great significance and pioneering in the efficient and selective removal of methane using natural bacteria combined with artificial materials.Keywords: Methanotrophs; MOFs; Methane degradation; Adsorbent; Microbial degradation.","PeriodicalId":29808,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Chemistry & Materials","volume":" 3","pages":" 363-374"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/im/d4im00131a?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144117515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
