Interface‐Engineered Li–Ni–O/Ni Heterostructures With Tunable Vacancies on Biochar Enable Biomass‐to‐Hydrogen Conversion

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
This study shows that lithium induces Li–Ni–O/Ni heterostructures on biochar, creating oxygen vacancies and optimal acid–base environments that enhance steam activation and suppress carbon deposition. These interfacial effects and synergistic modulation lead to high hydrogen yields at moderate temperatures, providing a scalable catalyst design strategy
