A palladium phosphide electrocatalyst supported on carbon black (PdP2 @CB) shows efficient water splitting in both alkaline and neutral electrolytes. Significantly lower overpotentials are required for PdP2 @CB (27.5 mV 0.5 m H2 SO4 ; 35.4 1 KOH; 84.6 PBS) to achieve a HER electrocatalytic current density of 10 mA cm-2 compared commercial Pt/CB (30.1 46.6 122.7 PBS). Moreover, no loss activity is detectable after 5000 potential sweeps. Only 270 277 reach catalyze OER KOH PBS electrolytes,...

Single-atom electrocatalysts (SAEs) can realize the target of low-cost by maximum atomic efficiency. However, they usually suffer performance decay due to high energy states, especially in a harsh acidic water splitting environment. Here, we conceive and double protecting strategy that ensures robust on Ir SAEs dispersing atoms in/onto Fe nanoparticles embedding IrFe into nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (Ir-SA@Fe@NCNT). When Ir-SA@Fe@NCNT acts as bifunctional electrocatalyst at ultralow...

Bimetallic alloy nanoparticles have garnered substantial attention for diverse catalytic applications owing to their abundant active sites and tunable electronic structures, whereas the synthesis of ultrafine with atomic-level homogeneity bulk-state immiscible couples remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we present RuxCo1–x solid-solution (ca. 2 nm) across entire composition range, highly efficient, durable, selective CO2 hydrogenation CH4 under mild conditions. Notably, Ru0.88Co0.12/TiO2...

Binary solid-solution alloys generally adopt one of three principal crystal lattices-body-centred cubic (bcc), hexagonal close-packed (hcp) or face-centred (fcc) structures-in which the structure is dominated by constituent elements and compositions. Therefore, it a significant challenge to selectively control in with certain composition. Here, we propose an approach for selective using chemical reduction method. By precisely tuning speed metal precursors, alloy nanoparticles, are able...

The crystal structure significantly affects the physical and chemical properties of solids. However, structure-dependent alloys are rarely studied because controlling an alloy at same composition is extremely difficult. Here, for first time, we successfully demonstrate synthesis binary Ru-Pt (Ru/Pt = 7:3) Ru-Ir (Ru/Ir ternary Ru-Ir-Pt (Ru/Ir/Pt 7:1.5:1.5) solid-solution nanoparticles (NPs) with well-controlled hexagonal close-packed (hcp) face-centered cubic (fcc) phases, through reduction...
