“…The growing interest in this type of coating is essentially connected with the strict regulations of the nickel use in European countries. Nickel salts are included in the list of carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic to reproduction (CRM) substances (EC Regulation No 790/2009), while products of Ni corrosion can cause allergic reactions in contact with human skin [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

“…12 At sufficient thickness, Ni film is generally known to be impervious toward alkaline electrolyte solutions, which serves as a good chemical protection layer toward the substrate from possible chemical corrosion. 17 Figure 1 illustrates the preparation of an anode electrode by integrating NiFe LDH electrocatalyst onto an arbitrary substrate. For a given substrate prior to electroplating, a conductive Ti/Ni layer is first electron beam deposited as a seed layer to initiate electrical conductivity.…”

To realize low-cost and sustainable hydrogen production, it is imperative to develop facile approaches to fabricate water splitting (photo)electrodes based on earth-abundant catalysts. In addition, cost benefits can be unlocked if the expended catalysts can be regenerated multiple times on the same substrate. Here, we demonstrate a substrate-agnostic method of depositing NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) catalyst via solution corrosion on diverse substrates as water splitting (photo)anodes. Across various substrates, the catalyst deposited electrodes exhibit consistent and sustained water splitting performance as well as possessing regenerative capabilities. Using this method, we also demonstrate a record performance for NiFe LDH/GaAs photoanode, whereby an applied bias photon-to-current efficiency of 11.7% is achieved with excellent photocurrent stability up to 100 h. This study also shows that NiFe LDH deposited by using this technique can sustain high current density operations in alkaline electrolyzer cells for the benefit of industrial water splitting applications. Using the method developed here in preparing low-cost (photo)electrodes on diverse substrate materials, we foresee excellent prospects for delivering high performance and stable water splitting activity for large-scale application.

“…Nickel (Ni) is one of the key materials used in advanced infrastructure and technology solutions. It is also the fifth most abundant element on Earth (Makarova et al, 2018;Cruz et al, 2019). However, nickel is changing its usage profile and is now used as a chemical component in electric vehicle (EV) batteries.…”

Assessment of environmental sustainability of nickel required for mobility transition

Nickel (Ni) in batteries (e.g., nickel-metal hydride battery (NiMH), lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA) and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC)) aim to ensure higher energy density and greater storage capacity. Two typical layered nickel-rich ternary cathode materials, NCA and NMC, are commercialized as advanced lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) for electric vehicles (EVs). The technology of those batteries has been improving by steadily increasing the nickel content in each cathode generation. In this study, we consider two types of batteries having a composite cathode made of Li [Ni0.80Co0.1Al0.1]O2, and Li [Ni0.33Mn0.33Co0.33]O2, which are the most common cathode materials for LiBs in EVs since 2010 and their functional recycling is performed. The increasing use of nickel in battery technologies has resulted in the continuous growth of demand for nickel over recent years. Nickel was added to the list of critical materials by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) already in 2021. Unfortunately now, the sustainable supply of nickel is even at higher risk due to the sanctions-related disruption of supplies from Russia. Therefore, enhancing the circularity of nickel starts to be vital for many economies. Demand for recycled nickel is growing, however, a systematic analysis of the sustainability of its recycling is still missing. Therefore, we provide a comprehensive assessment of the sustainability of the global primary and secondary production of nickel. Using system dynamics modelling integrated with geometallurgy principles and by analyzing the processing routes (pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes), we quantify the key environmental concerns across the life cycle of primary and secondary nickel required for sustainable mobility transition. Energy consumption, water use, and related emissions are assessed for all stages of the nickel supply chain, from mining to recycling. Our analysis shows the possibility of reducing the emissions by around 4.7 mt for GHG, 6.9 kt for PM2.5, 34.3 t for BC, 2.8 kt for CH4, 7.5 kt for CO, 3.3 mt for CO2, 169.9 t for N2O, 3.8 kt for NOx, 11.8 kt for PM10, 104.8 t for POC, 1.6 mt for SOx, and 232.5 t for VOC by engaging in the secondary production of nickel through the recycling of batteries. However, identical growth rate of energy consumption and water use compared to nickel mass flows means no technical progress has been achieved in different stages of the nickel supply chain towards sustainability over the period 2010–2030. Therefore, an improvement in technology is needed to save energy and water in nickel production processes. The results and findings of this study contribute to a better understanding of the necessity for improving closed-loop supply chain policies for nickel.
