Nanomaterials are now well established as a distinct class of materials. Among them, the
nanoparticles of metals and alloys constitute an important subclass that has attracted wide …

Copper‐based bimetallic heterojunction catalysts facilitate the deep electrochemical
reduction of CO2 (eCO2RR) to produce high‐value‐added organic compounds, which hold …

Catalytic properties of advanced functional materials are determined by their surface and
near-surface atomic structure, composition, morphology, defects, compressive and tensile …

Bimetallic alloys are actively investigated as promising new materials for catalytic and other
energy-related applications. However, the stable arrangements of the two metals in …

A new angular-dependent potential (ADP) of Ni–Rh system was obtained by fitting the
experimental data and first principle data, and the effectiveness of the potential was tested …

Platinum (Pt)-based multicomponent alloys have been widely regarded as the best catalysts
for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) …

The control of structural and chemical transitions in bimetallic nanoalloys at finite
temperatures is one of the challenges for their use in advanced applications. Comparing …

It is well known that the activity and stability of electrocatalysts are largely dependent on their
surface facets. In this work, we have successfully regulated surface facets of three …

The effect of gases on the surface composition of Cu–Pt bimetallic catalysts has been tested
by in situ infrared (IR) and x-ray absorption spectroscopies. Diffusion of Pt atoms within the …

Catalytic transformation of methane (CH 4) into methanol in a single step is a challenging
issue for the utilization of CH 4. We present a direct method for converting CH 4 into …
