Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to study Pt/Au clusters of different size, structure, and composition as well as their interactions with a CO molecule. Among the Pt/Au isomers studied here, the planar structure is the most stable structure in many Pt compositions, although three-dimensional structures become more stable with increasing Pt composition. Furthermore, structures with the Pt atoms surrounded by Au atoms are more stable among homotops. However, these conclusions will be altered if ligands are attached to the Pt/Au bimetallic clusters, as evidenced from the results of CO adsorption. When both Au and Pt sites are exposed, CO adsorption at the Pt site is stronger. If only a Au site is available for CO adsorption, the strongest adsorption occurs at approximately 25% Pt composition, which may correlate with the experimentally observed reactivity of the core-shell structured Pt/Au nanoparticles.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores a DNA-based growth strategy for bimetallic nanozymes to enhance their peroxidase activity by modifying their shape and structure.
- Researchers used four types of DNA oligonucleotides to control the synthesis of Pt nanoparticles on DNA-coated Au nanorods and found that the aggregation behavior of these nanorods depended on the DNA's length and type.
- A new colorimetric sensor was developed using the DNA-modified nanozymes to effectively detect different biological thiols and distinguish between normal and tumor cells, advancing the understanding of DNA-guided nanozyme behavior and their biosensing capabilities.

The development of rapid, accurate, sensitive, and low-cost diagnostic methods for COVID-19 detection in real-time is the unique way to control infection sources and monitor illness progression. In this work, we propose an electrochemical biosensor for the rapid and accuracy diagnosis of COVID-19, through the determination of ORF specific sequence. The biosensor is based on the immobilization of a thiolated sequence partially complementary (domain 1) to ORF on gold screen-printed electrodes and the use of bifunctional Au@Pt/Au core@shell nanoparticles modified with a second thiolated sequence partially complementary to ORF (domain 2) as electrochemical indicator of the hybridization of DNA sequences.

Product selectivity of solar-driven CO reduction and HO oxidation reactions has been successfully controlled by tuning the spatial distance between Pt/Au bimetallic active sites on different crystal facets of CeO catalysts. The replacement depth of Ce atoms by monatomic Pt determines the distance between bimetallic sites, while Au clusters are deposited on the surface. This space configuration creates a favourable microenvironment for the migration of active hydrogen species (*H).

Bimetallic nanostructured catalysts have shown great promise in the areas of energy, environment and magnetics. Tunable composition and electronic configurations due to lattice strain at bimetal interfaces have motivated researchers worldwide to explore them industrial applications. However, to date, the fundamentals of the synthesis of lattice-mismatched bimetallic nanocrystals are still largely uninvestigated for most supported catalyst materials.

Highly crystalline ZSM-23 zeolite, exhibiting a distinctive dumbbell morphology, was synthesized via a hydrothermal method. Bifunctional catalysts, comprising single metals (Pt or Au) and bimetals (Pt-Au), were successfully prepared by using a positional precipitation method. The hydroisomerization of hexadecane served as a model reaction to assess the catalytic performance arising from the synergistic effects of bimetallic active sites.
