Bimetallic NiCo functional graphene (NiCo/rGO) was synthesized by a facile one-pot method. During the coreduction process, the as-synthesized ultrafine NiCo nanoparticles (NPs), with a typical size of 4-6 nm, were uniformly anchored onto the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The NiCo bimetal-supported graphene was found to be more efficient than their single metals. Synergetic catalysis of NiCo NPs and rGO was confirmed, which can significantly improve the hydrogen-storage properties of MgH2. The apparent activation energy (E(a)) of the MgH2-NiCo/rGO sample decreases to 105 kJ mol(-1), which is 40.7% lower than that of pure MgH2. More importantly, the as-prepared MgH2-NiCo/rGO sample can absorb 5.5 and 6.1 wt% hydrogen within 100 and 350 s, respectively, at 300 °C under 0.9 MPa H2 pressure. Further cyclic kinetics investigation indicates that MgH2-NiCo/rGO nanocomposites have excellent cycle stability.

The conversion of abundant lignin was of great significance for the utilization of biomass resources. In this study, lignin sulfonate (LS) was selected as a carbon-based support, which was successfully introduced into the NiCo-MOF structure. A series of lignin and MOF hybrid catalysts (NiCo-MOF-LS) with varying metal ratios of Ni and Co were synthesized via the hydrothermal method.

To date, preparing materials with highly dispersed metal nanoparticles without metal agglomeration on a solid support is challenging. This work presents an alternative approach for synthesizing NiCo species on hierarchical ZSM-5 materials derived from a ZSM-5@NiCoAl-LDHs composite. The designed material was prepared by the growth of a NiCo-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) precursor on the surface of hierarchical ZSM-5 nanosheets.

In this study, bimetallic NiCo nanoparticles (NPs) were encapsulated within the mesopores of carboxylic acid functionalized mesoporous silica (CMS) through the chemical reduction approach. Both NaBH and NHBH were used as reducing agents to reduce the metal ions simultaneously. The resulting composite was used as a catalyst for hydrolysis of ammonia borane (NHBH, AB) to produce H.
