Nanoporous PtCo alloy was designed as an antibody carrier for preparation of a highly sensitive immunosensor. The immunosensor was constructed by assembling the capture zeranol antibody on thionine decorated graphene nanosheets modified glassy carbon electrode. With an enzyme-free immunosensor mode, the nanoporous PtCo alloy, synthesized by dealloying method, had shown strong electrocatalytic activity toward antigen-antibody reaction. The use of PtCo alloy carrier offered a high amount of antibody on each immunoconjugate, hence amplified the detectable signal from the electro-reaction of dissolved oxygen. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to characterize the recognition of zeranol. Due to the poor conductivity of zeranol, a small amount of zeranol immobilized onto the electrode could result in great change in the electron-transfer resistance. Some factors that would affect the performance of the immunosensor were studied, such as concentration of PtCo, pH, and the ratio of TH to GS. With zeranol concentration range (0.05 to 5.0 ng/mL), the immunosensor exhibited a highly sensitive response to zeranol with a detection limit of 13 pg/mL. The immunosensor was evaluated for bovine urine sample, receiving satisfactory results.

Low-temperature direct ammonia fuel cell (DAFC) stands out as a more secure technology than the hydrogen fuel cell system, while there is still a lack of elegant bottom-up synthesis procedures for efficient ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) electrocatalysts. The widely accepted d-band center, even with consideration of the d-band width, usually fails to describe variations in AOR reactivity in many practical conditions, and a more accurate activity descriptor is necessary for a less empirical synthesis path. Herein, the upper d-band edge, ε, derived from the d-band model, is identified as an effective descriptor for accurately establishing the descriptor-activity relationship.

It is a great challenge to prepare efficient and stable electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution (HER) using non-precious metals. In this study, a series of PtCo/TiCT-Y (Y: 16, 32, and 320, Y indicates the quality of Co(NO)) catalysts were synthesized by loading PtCo alloy on TiCT. The PtCo/TiCT-32 catalyst showed the best HER performance, reaching a current density of 10 mA cm with low overpotential (36 and 101 mV) and small Tafel slopes (66.

Article Synopsis
- Ultrafine Pt-based alloy nanoparticles supported on carbon are promising for catalysis but struggle with stability issues that limit their use.
- A new approach uses nanodot arrays where these nanoparticles are securely implanted in a 2D carbon substrate, leading to high methanol oxidation reaction activity and improved stability.
- This innovative anchoring method optimizes their electronic structure, reduces nanoparticle migration, and prevents transition metal dissolution, paving the way for more durable and effective catalytic materials.

Atomically ordered intermetallic Pt-based nanoparticles, recognized as advanced electrocatalysts, exhibit superior activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cell cathodes. Nevertheless, the formation of these ordered structures typically necessitates elevated annealing temperatures, which can accelerate particle growth and diminished reactivity. In this study, we synthesized carbon-supported platinum-cobalt intermetallic compounds (PtCo-IMCs) with sub-4 nm particle sizes and uniform distribution.
