High-entropy alloy (HEA) nanocrystals have attracted extensive attention in catalysis. However, there are no effective strategies for synthesizing them a controllable and predictable manner. With quinary HEA made of platinum-group metals as an example, we demonstrate that their structures with spatial compositions can be predicted by quantitatively knowing the reduction kinetics metal precursors entropy mixing under dropwise addition five-metal precursor solution. The time to reach steady...
We report a catalyst family of high-entropy alloy (HEA) atomic layers having three elements from iron-group metals (IGMs) and two platinum-group (PGMs). Ten distinct quinary compositions IGM-PGM-HEA with precisely controlled square arrangements are used to explore their impact on hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) oxidation (HOR). The PtRuFeCoNi perform enhanced catalytic activity durability toward HER HOR when benchmarked against the other commercial Pt/C catalysts. Operando synchrotron...
To improve the kinetic performance of LiMn<sub>0.8</sub>Fe<sub>0.2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub>, a facile and controllable non-stoichiometric one-pot stepwise feeding solvothermal approach is successfully developed for preparing nickel-doped LiMn<sub>0.8</sub>Fe<sub>0.2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> nanosheets.
Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), a two-dimensional (2D) nanostructured material, has, to greater extent, technological applications in catalysis, sensors, lithium-ion batteries, and optoelectronic devices due their unique structure electrical properties. Recently, the 2D TMD tungsten disulfide (WS2) has been regarded as one of most promising anode candidates for batteries. However, exploration WS2 sheets with 1T metallic phase still remains prodigious challenge improve its...
Abstract Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron (SEM) were used to investigate the surface structure morphology of 10,000, 30,000, 100,000 dalton molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration membranes, results are compared. Although both approaches reveal pore in 30,000 MWCO diameters derived from SEM smaller than those measured by AFM. This discrepancy is a result diminution dimensions during sample preparation for SEM, that is, solvent exchange...

A series of star-shaped multi-polar chromophores (compounds 1-3) containing functionalized quinoxaline and quinoxalinoid (indenoquinoxaline pyridopyrazine) units has been synthesized characterized for their two-photon absorption (2PA) properties both in the femtosecond nanosecond time domain. Under our experimental conditions, these model fluorophores are found to manifest strong wide-dispersed near-infrared region. It is demonstrated that molecular structures with multi-branched π...
Accelerating the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), which involves slow cleavage of HO-H bonds and adsorption/desorption (H*) hydroxyl (OH*) intermediates, requires developing catalysts with optimal binding strengths for these intermediates. Here, unconventional hexagonal close-packed (HCP) high-entropy alloy (HEA) atomic layers are prepared composed five platinum-group metals to enhance HER synergistically. The breakthrough is made by layer-by-layer heteroepitaxial deposition...

The crystal phase with a specific stacking sequence of atoms largely affects the catalytic performance metal nanocrystals. Since control at same composition is extremely difficult, phase-dependent nanocrystals studied rarely.
