Bidirectional controlling synthesis of branched PdCu nanoalloys for efficient and robust formic acid oxidation electroca...
Through a two-way control of hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and hydrochloric acid (HCl), the PdCu nanoalloys with branched structures are synthesized in one step by hydrothermal reduction and used as electrocatalysts for formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR). In this two-way control strategy, the CTAB is used as a structure-oriented su...

We herein propose a dual ligand coordination strategy for deriving puissant non-noble metal electrocatalysts to substitute valuable platinum (Pt)-based materials toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), a key reaction in metal-air batteries and fuel cells. In brief, cobalt ions are firstly double-coordinated with proportionate 2-methylimidazole (2-M...
In-situ growth of heterophase Ni nanocrystals on graphene for enhanced catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol
...
Generating heterophase structures in nanomaterials, e.g., heterophase metal nanocrystals, is an effective way to tune their physicochemical properties because of their high-energy nature and unique electronic environment of the generated interfaces. However, the direct synthesis of heterophase metal nanocrystals remains a great challenge due to the...
