Ni–Co amorphous double hydroxides nanomaterials with a hollow structure and tunable Ni/Co molar ratio are synthesized using template method. The NiCo2.7(OH)x nanocages demonstrate high surface reactivity, comparable catalytic activity, excellent stability for efficient water oxidation. Density functional theory simulations suggest that the component-dependent electrocatalytic activities connected to binding energies of oxygen radical on diverse hydroxides. As service our authors readers,...
Abstract Enhancement of the semiconductor–molecule interaction, in particular, promoting interfacial charge transfer process (ICTP), is key to improving sensitivity semiconductor‐based surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Herein, by developing amorphous ZnO nanocages (a‐ZnO NCs), we successfully obtained an ultrahigh enhancement factor up 6.62×10 5 . This remarkable SERS can be attributed high‐efficiency ICTP within a‐ZnO NC molecule system, which caused metastable electronic states...
Developing cheap, stable, and efficient electrocatalysts is of extreme importance in the effort to replace noble metal for use hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) oxygen (OER). We report a three-dimensional self-supported Cu3P nanobush (NB) catalyst directly grown on copper mesh via one-step method. This nanostructure exhibits superior catalytic activity achieving current density 10 mA cm-2 at 120 mV long-term stability acid solutions. It shows Tafel slope 72 dec-1 an onset potential -44 mV....
Abstract Noble metal nanocrystals with different shapes and compositions are embedded in hollow mesoporous oxide microspheres through an ultrasonic aerosol spray. Polystyrene (PS) nanospheres employed simultaneously as a hard template to create interiors inside the carrier bring pregrown nanocrystals, including Pd nanocubes, Au nanorods, core/Pd shell into microspheres. Calcination removes PS causes adsorb on inner surface of The catalytic performances nanocube‐embedded TiO 2 ZrO...

The PdPtCo core-shell nanostructure, fabricated via galvanic replacement by rapidly incorporating Pd into PtCo nanoalloys at room temperature, excels in alcohol oxidation (AOR). Synergistic effects lower Pt electron density, promoting C-C cleavage, while increased Co coverage reduces COads adsorption, enhancing CO tolerance. This work offers a novel strategy for high-performance AOR catalysts.
