SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2022; 18:e2201815.

Abstract
Nickel oxide (NiO) is a promising p-type material for a wide range of optoelectronic devices, as well as photocathode for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. However, traditional NiO photoelectrodes exhibit a wide bandgap (3.6 eV), intrinsic poor electrical conductivity, and low surface area, leading to low PEC systems performance. Herein, the authors explore a Ni-based metal-organic framework (MOF) template method to obtain hierarchical hollow spheres of carbon/NiO nanostructure by successive carbonization and oxidation treatments. After sensitization with core and core-shell quantum dots (QDs), the optimized NiO-photocathode exhibits a maximum current density of -93.6 µA cm-2 at 0 V versus RHE (reversible hydrogen electrode) in neutral pH (6.8) and -285 µA cm-2 at -0.4 V versus RHE. Compared to pure NiO and single-core CdSe QDs, a 2.2-fold increase in photocurrent can be obtained. The improvement in the performance of this hybrid is not only due to the high surface area for loading QDs and light scattering, but also to the presence of a highly conductive carbon matrix that promotes fast charge transfer. The proposed MOFs-based NiO/carbon photocathode sensitized with QDs can be an effective strategy to improve the efficiency of metal oxide-based PEC systems for hydrogen generation.

Porous cage-like hollow magnetic carbon-doped CoO nanocomposite as an advanced sorbent for magnetic solid-phase extraction of nine polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Talanta 2021; 227:122149. [PMID: 33714461 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.122149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2020] [Revised: 01/19/2021] [Accepted: 01/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
In this study, porous cage-like hollow magnetic carbon-doped CoO nanocomposite (CoO@C) was successfully synthesized using a metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as precursor by one-step calcination method in this work. The obtained nanoporous composite showed excellent magnetic response by taking advantage of the magnetism of CoO even without the Fe3O4, making it an advanced sorbent for magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE). The Co-MOF and CoO@C were characterized by XRD, TGA, SEM, TEM, vibrating sample magnetometry, and FT-IR spectroscopy. Based on this, a method using CoO@C for MSPE coupled with HPLC was established for the analysis of nine polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from various real water samples. The amount of sorbent, extraction times, extraction temperature, desorption times, oscillation rate, and elution volume were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the method had good relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 1.1%-6.5% and a satisfying linearity range of 0.5-1000 μg L-1. The low LOD and LOQ for nine PAHs were found to be 0.06-1.30 μg L-1 and 0.19-4.30 μg L-1, respectively. The experimental results indicated that the prepared nanocomposite showed excellent adsorption capacity compared to other commercial sorbents and has potential applications for the removal of hazardous pollutants from environmental samples.

Abstract
Copper ions (Cu2+) pollution in the water environment poses a great threat to the health function of life-sustaining metabolic activities. However, the current detection methods need relatively expensive instruments, complex operation procedures and long time, so a facile and direct detection method is desired to be developed. In this work, the Ni-based composite wires with p-n junction (the Ni/NiO/ZnO/Chitosan wire) and Schottky junction (the Ni/NiO/Au/Chitosan wire) were fabricated, and the barrier driven electrochemical sensing mechanism was studied. The direct and facile detection of Cu2+ was achieved with a wide linear range (0-6000 nM) and a low LOD (0.81 nM). The excellent stability and recovery in real water samples made the Ni-based composite wires a promising candidate for the practical application. The interfacial barriers of semiconductor can be used as a special sensing factor to develop novel sensors.

Ultrafast Synthesis of Ni-MOF in One Minute by Ball Milling. NANOMATERIALS 2018; 8:nano8121067.

Abstract
A mechanical ball milling method for ultrafast synthesis of a nickel-based metal organic framework (Ni-MOF) has been proposed. The Ni-MOF was successfully synthesized in merely one minute without any solvent, additives, or preliminary preparation. The effect of milling time, mechano-frequency, type of assistant liquid, and amount of assistant water were systematically explored. It was found that the product can be obtained even only at a mechano-frequency of 10 Hz within one minute without any external solvent-assist, which indicated that the crystal water present in the nickel precursor was sufficient to promote MOF formation. Increasing the milling time, raising the mechano-frequency, and the addition of assistant solvent could promote the reaction and increase the yield. The method is rapid, highly efficient, eco-friendly, and has great scalability. The product generated within merely one minute even exhibited high capacitance.
