Rational materials design based on prior knowledge is attractive because it promises to
avoid time-consuming synthesis and testing of numerous materials candidates. However …

High throughput (combinatorial) materials science methodology is a relatively new research
paradigm that offers the promise of rapid and efficient materials screening, optimization, and …

Structurally ordered intermetallic compounds possess unique chemical and physical
properties, making them an interesting class of materials for application in electrocatalytic …

Atomically ordered intermetallic nanoparticles (iNPs) have sparked considerable interest in
fuel cell applications by virtue of their exceptional electronic and structural properties …

We report the first synthesis of highly monodisperse Pt3Zn nanocrystals (NCs). Shape-
controlled synthesis generates cubic and spherical Pt–Zn NCs. Reaction temperature is the …

This paper provides an overview of modern alloy development, from discovery and
optimization towards alloy design, based on combinatorial thin film materials science. The …

Nanomaterials as catalysts for fuel cells are not only highly desirable, but necessary to reach
the high reaction rates (or power densities) demanded by many applications. The …

The surface area of electrodeposited thin films of Ni, Co, and NiCo was evaluated using
electrochemical double-layer capacitance, electrochemical area measurements using the …

Intermetallic PtZn nanoparticles with stable and high activities toward formic acid and
methanol electrooxidation were synthesized by reaction of carbon-supported Pt …

Solar generation of fuel is a promising future energy technology, and strong acidic
