Sulfides poisoning of metallic Ni is an important issue in catalyst deactivation. SO, similar to HS and other sulfides, is an impurity presented in reactants or during the regeneration steps. Herein, spin-polarized density functional theory calculations were used to study the adsorption and decomposition of SO on a pristine and metal-doped Ni(111) surface. The adsorption energy, transition state energy, and partial density of state (PDOS) were calculated. On the pristine Ni(111) surface, ten different configurations were considered, and three typical ones were selected for transition state searching. It was found that the reaction barrier of the first S-O bond dissociation was much higher than that of the second one. Doping the top layer with a second metal could strongly change the adsorption and decomposition behavior. Doping with 3/9ML Co slightly increases the adsorption energy of SO for most configurations and decreases the reaction barriers of the SO--2 decomposition, while the others decrease the adsorption ability and increase the barriers. The order of adsorption energy for the most stable configurations is Co > Ni > Cu > Rh > Pd. The order of the first S-O bond dissociation reaction barriers is Pd > Rh > Cu = Ni > Co, and the order of the second bond dissociation barrier is Rh > Pd > Cu > Ni > Co.

The nickel-plated zircaloy-4 is used as a tritium (H) getter in the tritium-producing burnable absorber rods (TPBARs) to capture H produced in the Li-riched annular γ-LiAlO pellet under neutron irradiation. The experimental data and our previous theoretical results showed that the H species produced from the γ-LiAlO pellet were mainly H and HO. These H species diffuse from the surface of the LiAlO pellet across vacuum to the nickel-plated zircaloy-4 getter and then further diffuse into the getter to chemically form metal hydrides.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials embedded in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) provide a platform to increase the control over spin transport properties by the proximity spin-filtering effect. This could be harnessed to craft spintronic devices with low power consumption and high performance. We explore the spin transport in the 2D MTJs based on graphene, which is uniformly grown on Ni(111) substrates using the chemical vapor deposition technique.

A combination of machine learned interatomic potentials (MLIPs) and enhanced sampling simulations is used to investigate the activation of methane on a Ni(111) surface. The work entails the development and iterative refinement of MLIPs, initially trained on a data set constructed via molecular dynamics simulations, supplemented by adaptive biasing forces, to enrich the sampling of catalytically relevant configurations. Our results reveal that upon incorporation of collective variables that capture the behavior of the reactant molecule, as well as additional frames that describe the dynamic response of the catalytic surface, it is possible to enhance considerably the accuracy of predicted energies and forces.

Weakly interacting systems such as organic molecules on monolayers of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) offer the possibility of single integer charge transfer leading to the formation of organic ions. Such open-shell systems exhibit unique optical and electronic properties which differ from their neutral counterparts. In this study, we used a joint experimental and theoretical approach to investigate the charge transfer of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) molecules on h-BN/Ni(111) by using differential reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), and photoelectron orbital tomography (POT) measurements in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Dodecahydro--ethylcarbazole (12H-NEC) is regarded as the most promising liquid organic hydrogen carrier for hydrogen storage and transportation. Understanding the mechanism of 12H-NEC dehydrogenation and developing cost-effective catalysts are significant. Pd is a high-performance catalyst for 12H-NEC but is not cost-effective, and Ni is just the opposite.
