The catalytic properties of bimetallic nanoparticles have been widely studied by researchers in many fields. In this paper, core-shell Cu/Au nanoparticles (Cu/Au NPs) were synthesized by a simple and mild one-pot method, and their peroxidase activity was proved by catalyzing the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with color change to blue. The change of solution color and absorbance strongly depends on the concentration of HO, so it can be used for direct detection of HO and indirect detection of glucose. What's more, GSH can efficiently react with the hydroxyl radicals from HO catalyzed by core-shell Cu/Au NPs to inhibit the production of ox-TMB. Thus, the concentration of GSH can be determined by the decrease in the absorbance of the solution at 652 nm. The results showed that our proposed strategy had good detection range and detection limit for the detection of glucose and GSH. This method has been used in the detection of practical samples and has great application potential in environmental monitoring and clinical diagnosis.

Ligand-protected gold clusters display a rich structural diversity, featuring remarkable structures such as Au(SR), Au(PPh)Cl, and CuAu(SR) , involving a central core composed of consecutive layers. The respective Au@Au, Au@Au@Au and Cu@Au@Au@Au cores with concentric structural layers enable a variable bonding/antibonding character between the electronic shells ascribed to each layer. Here, we rationalize the bonding within concentric structural layers in order to gain a further understanding of the related bonding patterns in such species.

This study emphasizes the innovative application of FePt and Cu core-shell nanostructures with increased lattice microstrain, coupled with Au single-atom catalysis, in significantly enhancing OH generation for catalytic tumor therapy. The combination of core-shell with increased lattice microstrain and single-atom structures introduces an unexpected boost in hydroxyl radical (OH) production, representing a pivotal advancement in strategies for enhancing reactive oxygen species. The creation of a core-shell structure, FePt@Cu, showcases a synergistic effect in OH generation that surpasses the combined effects of FePt and Cu individually.

Plasmonic Cu@semiconductor heteronanocrystals (HNCs) have many favorable properties, but the synthesis of solid structures is often hindered by the nanoscale Kirkendall effect. Herein, we present the use of an atomically thin AuCu palisade interlayer to reduce lattice mismatch and mediate the Kirkendall effect, enabling the successive topological synthesis of Cu@AuCu@Ag, Cu@AuCu@AgS, and further transformed solid Cu@AuCu@CdS core-shell HNCs via cation exchange. The atomically thin and intact AuCu palisade interlayer effectively modulates the diffusion kinetics of Cu atoms as demonstrated by experimental and theoretical investigations and simultaneously alleviates the lattice mismatch between Cu and Ag as well as Cu and CdS.

Rationally combining designed supports and metal-based nanomaterials is effective to synergize their respective physicochemical and electrochemical properties for developing highly active and stable/durable electrocatalysts. Accordingly, in this work, sub-5 nm and monodispersed nanodots (NDs) with the special nanostructure of an ultrafine CuAu core and a 2-3-atomic-layer CuPd shell are synthesized by a facile solvothermal method, which are further evenly and firmly anchored onto 3D porous N-doped graphene nanosheets (NGS) via a simple annealing (A) process. The as-obtained CuAu@CuPd NDs/NGS-A exhibits exceptional electrocatalytic activity and noble-metal utilization toward the alkaline oxygen reduction, methanol oxidation, and ethanol oxidation reactions, showing dozens-fold enhancements compared with commercial Pd/C and Pt/C.

The CuAu system is characterized by a large lattice mismatch which causes a misfit strain in its core@shell architectures. Here we simulate the formation of Cu@Au core@shell nanoparticles by Au deposition on a preformed seed, and we study the effect of the shape and composition of the starting seed on the growth pathway. Three geometric shapes of the starting seed are considered: truncated octahedra, decahedra and icosahedra.
