Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), a novel class of porous extended crystalline structures, are favored in different fields of heterogeneous catalysis, CO separation and conversion, and energy storage (supercapacitors) due to their convenience of synthesis, structural tailor-ability, tunable pore size, high porosity, large specific surface area, devisable structures, and adjustable compositions. Nickel (Ni) is a ubiquitous element extensively applied in various fields of catalysis and energy storage due to its low cost, high abundance, thermal and chemical stability, and environmentally benign nature. Ni-based MOFs and their derivatives provide us with the opportunity to modify different properties of the Ni center to improve their potential as heterogeneous catalysts or energy storage materials. The recent achievements of Ni-MOFs and their derivatives as catalysts, membrane materials for CO separation and conversion, electrode materials and their respective performance have been discussed in this review.

A series of Ni-MOF materials were synthesized by a one-step solvothermal method under different reaction conditions, including metal source, organic ligand, reaction time and reaction temperature. The results demonstrated that the Ni-MOFs synthesized with Ni(NO3)2•6H2O as the metal source had higher crystallinity and a more uniform crystalline structure than those with NiCl2•6H2O. Different organic ligands led to the formation of Ni-MOFs in various morphologies.

This review describes new strategies in the use of multifunctional organic alkalizers (OA) for the fabrication of advanced functional materials. OA facilitate solubilization and delivery of poorly solubilized drugs through the formation of drug-OA complexes and supramolecular gels. OA are applied for the synthesis of materials for biomedical, energy storage, catalytic, photovoltaic, sensor, and electronic applications.

This study presents a renewable electricity-driven microbial electrosynthesis (MES) system integrated with biological nitrogen removal (BNR) to achieve carbon-negative wastewater treatment. The MES system converts CO₂ into acetate, which is directly utilized as an internal carbon source for denitrification. Incorporation of biochar-derived conductive materials enhanced electron transfer, increasing acetate productivity to 1.

The forest sector's climate change mitigation depends on forest carbon sequestration, storing carbon in wood products, and avoidance of fossil greenhouse gas emissions by replacing more emission intensive products or energy sources, i.e., the substitution effect.

Hard carbon has emerged as the most widely studied and commercialized anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, improving the charge transfer kinetics within the plateau potential range of the hard carbon anode is crucial for the development of fast-charging SIBs. In this study, we prepared a novel composite material, ZAPA-1300, by uniformly mixing starch, asphalt, and zinc oxide (ZnO), followed by a two-step treatment process.
