The trimetallic AuAgPt nanowires for light-enhanced formic acid electrolysis

Abstract

The electrochemical activity and stability of multimetallic nanomaterials can be improved by adjusting the structure, morphology, and composition. Herein, trimetallic AuAgPt nanowires (AuAgPt-NWs) are achieved by galvanic replacement reaction (GRR)....

Electrosynthesis of ruthenium nanocluster incorporated nickel diselenide for efficient overall water splitting

“…1,2 There are several methods for hydrogen production, based on the applied energy sources, such as high-temperature thermolysis, coal refining, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, etc. 3–8 The electrochemical water cycle, which involves electrolysis of water for H 2 generation and subsequent utilization in fuel cells, is a significant approach towards a sustainable energy future. The energy conversion process involves two half-cell reactions, namely, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) happening at the cathode side, and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) happening at the anode side.…”

Engineering ultrafine PtIr alloy nanoparticles into porous nanobowls via a reactive template-engaged assembly strategy for high-performance electrocatalytic hydrogen production

“…Owing to their unique intrinsic properties and irreplaceable catalytic performance, precious metal nanocrystals, especially platinum (Pt), have received considerable attention and increasing demand in various industrial application areas, such as renewable energy, petrochemical industry, aerospace and automobiles. 1–4 Nevertheless, the extremely low abundance and exorbitant cost of Pt remain a severe bottleneck to the large-scale commercial application of Pt. In this context, it is imperative to design low-Pt-based catalysts without compromising their reactivity.…”
