The growth of Pt-Pd nanoparticles from organometallic precursors is studied in situ in real time by HRTEM in a graphene oxide liquid cell. The reduction of the metal precursors is induced by the electron beam. During the growth, the particles rearrange their internal structure to form faceted single crystals. The growth is compatible with the Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner (LSW) mechanism in the limiting case of a reaction-limited process. The same particles are also synthesized ex situ by using a chemical reducing agent and observed in HRTEM.

The process of noble metal nanoparticle synthesis is complex and consists of at least two steps: slow nucleation and fast autocatalytic growth. The kinetics of these two processes depends on the reductant "power" and the addition of stabilizers, as well as other factors (e.g.

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are promising materials for electrochemical energy applications due to their excellent catalytic performance and durability. However, the controlled synthesis of HEAs with a well-defined structure and a uniform composition distribution remains a challenge. Herein, a soft template-assisted electrodeposition technique is used to fabricate a mesoporous HEA (m-HEA) film with a uniform composition distribution of Pt, Pd, Rh, Ru, and Cu, providing a suitable platform for investigating structure-performance relationships.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and catalytic therapy were promising treatment modes, but tumor hypoxia and poor catalytic activity severely limited their efficacies. Herein, using a porphyrin metal-organic framework (PCN-224) as nanocarrier, a platinum/palladium (Pt/Pd) dual-modified PCN-224 nanoprobe (PCN-224-Pt@Pd) with strong peroxidase (POD)/catalase (CAT)-like activities was developed, achieving photothermal-promoted PDT/catalytic therapy. Compared with single ultrasmall Pt modifying, CAT-like activity of Pt/Pd dual-modifying increased oxygen concentration from 6.

We propose a facile coreduction method to synthesize a platinum-group-metal quaternary alloy anchored on nitrogen-doped hollow carbon spheres (PtPdRuIr/HCS) by using [MCl]-1-butyl-3-methylimidazole (M = Pt, Pd, Ru, and Ir) ionic liquid. Owing to the steric hindrance of the imidazolium cations, Pt-group metal atoms of different sizes can be deposited at approximately the same pace for the growth of an alloy with lattice defects. The lattice-distorted PtPdRuIr/HCS exhibits enhanced activity toward oxygen electroreduction when benchmarked against Pt counterparts.

Nanoparticle-functionalized carbon nanotubes are promising in many research fields, especially in sensing, due to their intriguing performance in catalysis. However, these nanomaterials are mainly produced through batch processes under harsh conditions, thus encountering inherent limitations of low throughput and uncontrollable morphology of functional nanoparticles (NPs). In this work, we propose a method for high-yield and continuous production of bimetallic (Pt-Pd) NPs on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) at room temperature through a custom 3D-printed microfluidic platform.
