The development of electrocatalysts that can maintain high reactivity and stability over a wide pH range during electrolysis reactions is essential for the realization of a clean hydrogen energy society. Herein, we report the synthesis of AuIr alloy nanoparticles (NPs) with an excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance over a wide pH range. The NPs were synthesized an antisolvent crystallization-based method and maintained their small sizes regardless of adjustments in the ratio of the Au/Ir precursor. AuIr/C exhibited low overpotential and good long-term stability under acidic and alkaline conditions compared with the Ir/C and commercial RuO. The enhanced OER performance of AuIr/C was attributed to efficient charge transfer, resulting in an optimal synergistic effect of electrons.

The synthesis of large, freestanding, single-atom-thick two-dimensional (2D) metallic materials remains challenging due to the isotropic nature of metallic bonding. Here, we present a bottom-up approach for fabricating macroscopically large, nearly freestanding 2D gold (Au) monolayers, consisting of nanostructured patches. By forming Au monolayers on an Ir(111) substrate and embedding boron (B) atoms at the Au/Ir interface, we achieve suspended monoatomic Au sheets with hexagonal structures and triangular nanoscale patterns.

The absence of efficient and durable catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the main obstacle to hydrogen production through water splitting in an acidic electrolyte. Here, we report a controllable synthesis method of surface IrO with changing Au/Ir compositions by constructing a range of sub-10-nm-sized core-shell nanocatalysts composed of an Au core and AuIr alloy shell. In particular, Au@AuIr exhibits 4.

Developing efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting in acidic conditions is the essential step for proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs). We first report the synthesis of core-shell structure nanoparticles (NPs) with an Au core and an AuIr alloy shell (Au@AuIr). Au@AuIr displayed 4.

We successfully prepared face-centred cubic nanoalloys in systems of Au-Ir, Au-Rh and Au-Ir-Rh, with large bulk miscibility gaps, in one-run reactions under thermal decomposition of specially synthesised single-source precursors, namely, [AuEn][Ir(NO)], [AuEn][Ir(NO)] [Rh(NO)] and [AuEn][Rh(NO)]. The precursors employed contain all desired metals 'mixed' at the atomic level, thus providing significant advantages for obtaining alloys. The observations using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy show that the nanoalloy structures are composed of well-dispersed aggregates of crystalline domains with a mean size of 5 ± 3 nm.
