Creating high-energy facets on the surface of catalyst nanocrystals represents a promising method for enhancing their catalytic activity. Herein we show that crystal etching as reverse process growth can directly endow nanocrystal surfaces with facets. The key is to avoid significant modification energies by capping effects from solvents, ions, and ligands. Using Cu nanocubes starting material, have successfully demonstrated creation in metal controlled chemical etching. etched enriched...
The Haber–Bosch (HB) process has provided most of commercial ammonia at the expense high energy consumption and CO2 emission. Nitrate electroreduction is showing great potential as an alternative route for green scale-up synthesis ambient conditions. However, performance lagged due to lack efficient electrocatalysts. In this work, we present facile uniform Cu nanodisks with exposed (111) facets highly active electrocatalyst electrochemical synthesis, delivering a yield 2.16 mg mg–1cat h–1...
Synthesis of anisotropic nanostructures from materials with isotropic crystal structures often requires the use seeds containing twin planes to break crystalline symmetry and promote preferential growth. Controlling twinning in is therefore critically important for high-yield synthesis many nanostructures. Here, we demonstrate a unique strategy induce metal growth by taking advantage large lattice mismatch between two metals. By using Au-Cu as an example, show, both theoretically...
The electrocatalytic nitrate conversion of ammonia at ambient conditions provides not only a solution for restoring the imbalance in global nitrogen cycle but also sustainable alternative Haber-Bosch process. However, large-scale and efficient application denitrification has been limited by lack active catalysts with high selectivity reduction to N2. In this work, we present one-step processed synthetic strategy low temperature prepare carbon-nanobelts-supported uniform Cu Pd nanoclusters....
Abstract Efficient and affordable price bifunctional electrocatalysts based on transition metal oxides for oxygen hydrogen evolution reactions have a balanced efficiency, but it remains significant challenge to control their activity durability. Herein, trace Ru (0.74 wt.%) decorated ultrathin CoOOH nanosheets (≈4 nm) supported the surface of nickel foam (Ru/CoOOH@NF) is rationally designed via an electrochemically induced strategy effectively drive electrolysis alkaline overall water...
Size- and shape-focusing of palladium nanocrystals have been successfully achieved through the Ostwald ripening process induced by a redox reaction.
Synthesis of metal nanoframes has been great interest for their open structures and high fractions active surface sites, which gives rise to outstanding performance in catalysis. In this work, Pd with well-defined have successfully prepared by directly excavating solid nanocrystals. The success synthesis mainly relies on the fine control over oxidative etching regrowth rates. Due different rates at three typical types sites (e.g., corners, edges, faces), removal atoms can be controlled a...

The electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to hydroxylamine (NH2OH) is a challenging catalytic process that has gained significant attention. However, its performance hindered by the low selectivity of electrocatalysts. Here, intermetallic PtSn nanosheets with p–d orbital hybridization have been synthesized, which significantly enhances NH2OH. Faradaic efficiency NH2OH reaches maximum 82.83 ± 1.55% at −0.10 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (vs RHE), and yield achieves 6.15 0.32 mmol h–1...
