Carbon-supported Fe@Pt core-shell nanoparticle (NP) catalysts with Fe cores in different crystal states have been successfully synthesized by a sequential reduction process. Unexpectedly, in contrast to its crystallized counterpart, iron in the amorphous state exerts a distinct and powerful ability as the core for the Fe@Pt NPs. The resultant NPs are far more active for ammonia borane oxidation (by up to 354%) than the commercial Pt/C catalysts. Furthermore, these NPs combine low cost, long-term stability, and easy recovery functions.

A novel electrochemical gas sensor for sensitive detection of HS at room temperature is constructed based on the Fe@Pt/C composite material. The core-shell structured Fe@Pt catalyst was synthesized by a two-step reduction method and physically dispersed in Vulcan XC-72 carbon powders. The core-shell structure increases the effective catalytic surface area of Pt while significantly reducing the usage of the noble metal Pt, leading to improved catalytic performance and decreased production costs.

Article Synopsis
- - The novel Fe-Pt-YbO core-shell nanoparticles, measuring 10 nm, can effectively diffuse through neuronal tissue and can be controlled with magnetic fields for enhanced biomedical applications, including cancer treatment.
- - These nanoparticles exhibit superparamagnetic properties initially and become ferromagnetic after annealing, which improves NMRI contrast and allows for hyperthermia treatment purposes.
- - Neutron-activation of the shell leads to the incorporation of low-energy β-radiation isotopes (Yb, Lu) that, combined with their capability for optical visualization, successfully killed over 98% of human glioblastoma cells in tests, showcasing their potential in cancer therapies.

The purpose of the study was to synthesize and investigate the influence of geometrical structure, magnetism, and cytotoxic activity on core-shell platinum and iron-platinum (Fe/Pt) composite nanowires (NWs) for potential application in targeted chemotherapeutic approaches. The Pt-NWs and Fe/Pt composite NWs were synthesized via template electrodeposition, using anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes. The Fe/Pt composite NWs (Method 1) was synthesized using two electrodeposition steps, allowing for greater control of the diameter of the NW core.

Transition metal (TM) core-platinum (Pt) shell nanoparticles (TM@Pt NPs) are attracting a great deal of attention as highly active and durable oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts of fuel cells and metal-air batteries. However, most of the reported synthesis methods of TM@Pt NPs are multistep in nature, a significant disadvantage for real applications. In this regard, our group has reported a single-step method to synthesize TM@Pt NPs for TM = Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni by using sonochemistry, namely the UPS (ultrasound-assisted polyol synthesis) method.

Alloyed nanoparticles with core-shell structures provide a favorable model to modulate interfacial interaction and surface structures at the atomic level, which is important for designing electrocatalysts with high activity and durability. Herein, core-shell structured PdM@Pt/C nanoparticles with binary PdM alloy cores (M = Fe, Ni, and Co) and a monolayer Pt shell were successfully synthesized with diverse interfaces. Among these, PdFe@Pt/C exhibited the best oxygen reduction reaction catalytic performance, roughly 5.
