Abstract
Herein, we present a synthetic approach to fabricate Au nanoheptamers composed of six individual Au nanospheres interconnected through thin metal bridges arranged in an octahedral configuration. The resulting structures envelop central Au nanospheres, producing Au nanosphere heptamers with an open architectural arrangement. Importantly, the initial Pt coating of the Au nanospheres is a crucial step for protecting the inner Au nanospheres during multiple reactions. As-synthesized Au nanoheptamers exhibit multiple hot spots formed by nanogaps between nanospheres, resulting in strong electromagnetic near-fields. Additionally, we conducted surface-enhanced Raman-scattering-based detection of a chemical warfare agent simulant in the gas phase and achieved a limit of detection of 100 ppb, which is 3 orders lower than that achieved using Au nanospheres and Au nanohexamers. This pseudocore-shell nanostructure represents a significant advancement in the realm of complex nanoparticle synthesis, moving the field one step closer to sophisticated nanoparticle engineering.

Abstract
Electrocatalysis underpins the renewable electrochemical conversions for sustainability, which further replies on metallic nanocrystals as vital electrocatalysts. Intermetallic nanocrystals have been known to show distinct properties compared to their disordered counterparts, and been long explored for functional improvements. Tremendous progresses have been made in the past few years, with notable trend of more precise engineering down to an atomic level and the investigation transferring into more practical membrane electrode assembly (MEA), which motivates this timely review. After addressing the basic thermodynamic and kinetic fundamentals, we discuss classic and latest synthetic strategies that enable not only the formation of intermetallic phase but also the rational control of other catalysis-determinant structural parameters, such as size and morphology. We also demonstrate the emerging intermetallic nanomaterials for potentially further advancement in energy electrocatalysis. Then, we discuss the state-of-the-art characterizations and representative intermetallic electrocatalysts with emphasis on oxygen reduction reaction evaluated in a MEA setup. We summarize this review by laying out existing challenges and offering perspective on future research directions toward practicing intermetallic electrocatalysts for energy conversions.

Abstract
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis is considered a promising technology for green hydrogen production, and iridium (Ir)-based catalysts are the best materials for anodic oxygen evolution reactions (OER) owing to their high stability and anti-corrosion ability in a strong acid electrolyte. The properties of Ir-based nanocatalysts can be tuned by rational dimension engineering, which has received intensive attention recently for catalysis ability boosting. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of the structural and catalysis performance, herein, an overview of the recent progress was provided for Ir-based catalysts with different dimensions for the acidic OER. The promotional effect was first presented in terms of the nano-size effect, synergistic effect, and electronic effect based on the dimensional effect, then the latest progress of Ir-based catalysts classified into zero-dimensional (0D), one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) catalysts was introduced in detail; and the practical application of some typical examples in the real PEM water electrolyzers (PEMWE) was also presented. Finally, the problems and challenges faced by current dimensionally engineered Ir-based catalysts in acidic electrolytes were discussed. It is concluded that the increased surface area and catalytic active sites can be realized by dimensional engineering strategies, while the controllable synthesis of different dimensional structured catalysts is still a great challenge, and the correlation between structure and performance, especially for the structural evolution during the electrochemical operation process, should be probed in depth. Hopefully, this effort could help understand the progress of dimensional engineering of Ir-based catalysts in OER catalysis and contribute to the design and preparation of novel efficient Ir-based catalysts.

Abstract
Here, the rational design of complex PtAu double nanoframes (DNFs) for plasmon-enhanced electrocatalytic activity toward the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) is reported. The synthetic strategy for the DNFs consists of on-demand multiple synthetic chemical toolkits, including well-faceted Au growth, rim-on selective Pt deposition, and selective Au etching steps. DNFs are synthesized by utilizing Au truncated octahedrons (TOh) as a starting template. The outer octahedral (Oh) nanoframes (NFs) nest the inner TOh NFs, eventually forming DNFs with a tunable intra-nanogap distance. Residual Au adatoms on Pt skeletons act as light entrappers and produce plasmonic hot spots between inner and outer frames through localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) coupling, which promotes enhanced electrocatalytic activity for the MOR. Importantly, the correlation between the gap-induced hot carriers and electrocatalytic activity is evaluated. The highest catalytic activity is achieved when the gap is the narrowest. To further harness their light-trapping capability, hierarchically structured triple NFs (TNFs) are synthesized, wherein three NFs are entangled in a single entity with a high density of hot regions, exhibiting superior electrocatalytic activity toward the MOR with a sixfold larger current density under light irradiation compared to the dark conditions.

Abstract
The design of Pt-based nanoarchitectures with controllable compositions and morphologies is necessary to enhance their electrocatalytic activity. Herein, we report a rational design and synthesis of anisotropic mesoporous Pt@Pt-skin Pt3Ni core-shell framework nanowires for high-efficient electrocatalysis. The catalyst has a uniform core-shell structure with an ultrathin atomic-jagged Pt nanowire core and a mesoporous Pt-skin Pt3Ni framework shell, possessing high electrocatalytic activity, stability and Pt utilisation efficiency. For the oxygen reduction reaction, the anisotropic mesoporous Pt@Pt-skin Pt3Ni core-shell framework nanowires demonstrated exceptional mass and specific activities of 6.69 A/mgpt and 8.42 mA/cm2 (at 0.9 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode), and the catalyst exhibited high stability with negligible activity decay after 50,000 cycles. The mesoporous Pt@Pt-skin Pt3Ni core-shell framework nanowire configuration combines the advantages of three-dimensional open mesopore molecular accessibility and compressive Pt-skin surface strains, which results in more catalytically active sites and weakened chemisorption of oxygenated species, thus boosting its catalytic activity and stability towards electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Developing highly durable and active catalysts with the morphology of structurally robust nanoframes toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in acidic environment is crucial but still a great challenge to completely achieve in a single material. Herein, PtCuCo nanoframes (PtCuCo NFs) with internal support structures as enhanced bifunctional electrocatalysts were prepared by a facile one-pot approach. PtCuCo NFs exhibited remarkable activity and durability for ORR and MOR owing to the ternary compositions and the structure-fortifying frame structures. Impressively, the specific/mass activity of PtCuCo NFs were 12.8/7.5 times as large as that of commercial Pt/C for ORR in perchloric acid solution. For MOR in sulfuric acid solution, the mass/specific activity of PtCuCo NFs was 1.66 A mgPt-1/4.24 mA cm-2, which was 5.4/9.4 times as large as that of Pt/C. This work may provide a promising nanoframe material to develop dual catalysts for fuel cells.

Abstract
ConspectusRational design of nanocrystals with high controllability via wet chemistry is of critical importance in all areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology research. Specifically, morphologically complex plasmonic nanoparticles have received considerable attention because light-matter interactions are strongly associated with the size and shape of nanoparticles. Among many types of nanostructures, plasmonic nanoframes (NFs) with controllable structural intricacy could be excellent candidates as strong light-entrappers with inner voids as well as high surface area, leading to highly effective interaction with light and analytes compared to their solid counterparts. However, so far studies on single-rim-based NFs have suffered from insufficient near-field focusing capability due to their structural simplicity (e.g., a single rim or NF molded from simple platonic solids), which necessitates a conceptually new NF architecture. If one considers a stereoscopic nanostructure with dual, triple, and multiple resonant intra-nanogaps on each crystallographic facet of nanocrystals, unprecedented physicochemical properties could be expected. Realizing such complex multiple NFs with intraparticle surface plasmon coupling via localized surface plasmon resonance is very challenging due to the lack of synthetic strategic principles with systematic structural control, all of which require a deep understanding of surface chemistry. Moreover, realizing those complex architectures with high homogeneity in size and shape via a bottom-up method where diverse particle interactions are involved is more challenging. Although there have been several reports on NFs used for catalysis, techniques for production of structurally complex NFs with high uniformity and an understanding of the correlation between such complexity in a single plasmonic entity and electromagnetic near-field focusing have remained highly elusive.In this Account, we will summarize and highlight the rational synthetic pathways for the design of complex two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) NFs with unique inner rim structures and characterize their optical properties. This systematic strategy is based on publications from our group during the last 10 years. First, we will introduce a chemical step of shape transformation of triangular Au nanoplates to circular and hexagonal plates, which are used as sacrificial layers for the formation of NFs. Then, we will describe the methods on how to synthesize monorim-based plasmonic NFs using Pt scaffolds with different shapes and correlate with their electromagnetic near-field. Then, we will describe a multiple stepwise synthetic method for the formation of 2D complex NFs wherein different starting Au nanocrystals evolved from systematic shape transformation are used to produce circular, triangular, hexagonal, crescent, and Y-shaped inner hot zones. Then, we will discuss how one can synthesize NFs with multiple rims wherein rims with different diameters are concentrically connected, by exploiting chemical toolkits such as eccentric and concentric growth of Au, borrowing the concept of total synthesis that is frequently adopted in organic chemistry. We then introduce dual-rim-faceted NFs and frame-in-frame 3D matryoshka NF geometries via well-faceted growth of Au with high control of intra-nanogaps. Finally, and importantly, we will provide examples of more advanced hierarchical NF architectures produced by controlling geometrical shapes of nanoparticles, number of rims, and different components, leading to the expansion of the NF library.

Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate the synthesis of morphologically complex nanoframes wherein a mixture of frames and thin solid planes, which we refer to as walled-nanoframes, are present in a single particle. By applying multiple chemical steps including shape evolution of Au nanocrystals and controlling chemical potential of solution for selective deposition, we successfully designed a variety of Pt nanoframes including Pt cuboctahedral nanoframes and Pt single-walled nanoframes. The rationale for on-demand chemical steps with well-faceted Au overgrowth allowed for the synthesis of double-walled nanoframes where two Pt single-walled nanoframes are concentrically overlapped in a single entity with a clearly discernible gap between the two nanoframes. Given the coexistence of an open structure of nanoframe and thin plates within one entity, the double-walled nanoframes showed a dramatic increase in catalytic activity toward the methanol oxidation reaction, acting as high-surface area, carbon-free, and volume-compact nanocatalysts.

Abstract
Intermetallic structures whose regular atomic arrays of constituent elements present unique catalytic properties have attracted considerable attention as efficient electrocatalysts for energy conversion reactions. Further performance enhancement in intermetallic catalysts hinges on constructing catalytic surfaces possessing high activity, durability, and selectivity. In this Perspective, we introduce recent endeavors to boost the performance of intermetallic catalysts by generating nanoarchitectures, which have well-defined size, shape, and dimension. We discuss the beneficial effects of nanoarchitectures compared with simple nanoparticles in catalysis. We highlight that the nanoarchitectures have high intrinsic activity owing to their inherent structural factors, including controlled facets, surface defects, strained surfaces, nanoscale confinement effects, and a high density of active sites. We next present notable examples of intermetallic nanoarchitectures, namely, facet-controlled intermetallic nanocrystals and multidimensional nanomaterials. Finally, we suggest the future research directions of intermetallic nanoarchitectures.

Abstract
Constructing hierarchical heterostructures is considered a useful strategy to regulate surface electronic structure and improve the electrochemical kinetics. Herein, the authors develop a hollow architecture composed of MoC1- x and WC1- x carbide nanoparticles and carbon matrix for boosting electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution and lithium ions storage. The hybridization of ultrafine nanoparticles confined in the N-doped carbon nanosheets provides an appropriate hydrogen adsorption free energy and abundant boundary interfaces for lithium intercalation, leading to the synergistically enhanced composite conductivity. As a proof of concept, the as-prepared catalyst exhibits outstanding and durable electrocatalytic performance with a low overpotential of 103 and 163 mV at 10 mA cm-2 , as well as a Tafel slope of 58 and 90 mV dec-1 in alkaline electrolyte and acid electrolyte, respectively. Moreover, evaluated as an anode for a lithium-ion battery, the as-resulted sample delivers a rate capability of 1032.1 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 . This electrode indicates superior cyclability with a capability of 679.1 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1 after 4000 cycles. The present work provides a strategy to design effective and stable bimetallic carbide composites as superior electrocatalysts and electrode materials.

Nat Commun 2022; 13:4813.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) nanoframe structures are very appealing because their inner voids and ridges interact efficiently with light and analytes, allowing for effective optical-based sensing. However, the realization of complex nanoframe architecture with high yield is challenging because the systematic design of such a complicated nanostructure lacks an appropriate synthesis protocol. Here, we show the synthesis method for complex 3D nanoframes wherein two-dimensional (2D) dual-rim nanostructures are engraved on each facet of octahedral nanoframes. The synthetic scheme proceeds through multiple executable on-demand steps. With Au octahedral nanoparticles as a sacrificial template, sequential processes of edge-selective Pt deposition and inner Au etching lead to Pt octahedral mono-rim nanoframes. Then, adlayers of Au are grown on Pt skeletons via the Frank-van der Merwe mode, forming sharp and well-developed edges. Next, Pt selective deposition on both the inner and outer boundaries leads to tunable geometric patterning on Au. Finally, after the selective etching of Au, Pt octahedral dual-rim nanoframes with highly homogeneous size and shape are achieved. In order to endow plasmonic features, Au is coated around Pt frames while retaining their geometric shape. The resultant plasmonic dual-rim engraved nanoframes possess strong light entrapping capability verified by single-particle surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and show the potential of nanoprobes for biosensing through SERS-based immunoassay. Most SERS-active nanostructures suffer from low robustness against misalignment to field polarization. Here, the authors demonstrate three-dimensional nanoframes of octahedral geometry, with two rims engraved on each facet, as polarization-independent SERS nanoprobes.

Abstract
Ultrathin nanoframes with more available electrocatalytic active sites on both internal and external surfaces have attracted great attention especially in the field of electrocatalysis. Herein, we report a facile process to prepare PdAu nanorings (NRs) in aqueous solution without adding any organic ligands. The growth mechanism of PdAu NRs was explored in detail. The Au precursors were reduced into Au clusters around the edges of Pd nanosheets (NSs) via galvanic replacement, then the center of Pd NSs was oxidatively etched by Cl-/O2, and finally the Pd and Au atoms on the edge sites were rearranged to form uniform PdAu alloy. PdAu NRs with different ratios and ternary PdAuPt NRs could be easily prepared using this strategy. Owing to the synergistically structural and compositional advantages, Pd79Au21 NRs exhibited higher electrocatalytic activity and stability, as well as low activation energy (Ea) for the ethanol electrooxidation reaction.

Abstract
Here we report a synthetic pathway toward Au truncated octahedral dual-rim nanoframes wherein two functional facets are formed including (1) eight hot nanogaps formed by hexagonal nanoframes embracing core circular nanorings for near-field focusing and (2) six flat squares that facilitate the formation of well-ordered arrays of nanoframes through self-assembly. The existence of intra-nanogaps in a single entity enables strong electromagnetic near-field focusing, allowing single-particle surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Then, we built "all-hot-spot bulk SERS substrates" with those entities, wherein the presence of truncated terraces with high homogeneity in size and shape facilitate spontaneous self-assembly into a highly ordered and uniform superlattice, exhibiting a limit of detection of attomolar concentrations toward 2-naphthalenethiol, which is 6 orders lower than that of monorim counterparts. The observed low limit of detection originates from the combined synergic effect from both inter- and intraparticle coupling in a superlattice, which we dubbed "all-hot-spot bulk SERS substrates".

Abstract
We report the synthesis of all-frame-faceted octahedral nanoframes containing eight Y-shaped hot zones in a single entity where electromagnetic near-field focusing can be maximized. To realize such state-of-the-art complex nanoframes, a series of multiple stepwise bottom-up processes were executed by exploiting Au octahedral nanoparticles as the initial template. By rationally controlling the chemical reactivity of different surface facets (i.e., vertexes, edges, and terraces), the Au octahedral nanoparticles went through controlled shape transformations, leading to Au-engraved nanoparticles wherein 24 edges wrap the octahedral Au nanoparticle core. Those edges were then selectively decorated with Pt, leading to the formation of eight Pt tripods in a single entity. After etching the central Au, 3D Pt tripod frame-faceted octahedral nanoframes were achieved with high integrity. By harnessing the obtained Pt nanoframes as a scaffold, AuAg alloy-based plasmonic all-frame-faceted nanoframes were obtained after the co-reduction of Ag and Au, which generated multiple hot zones within multiple surface intra-nanogaps, creating a single-particle, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy enhancer platform.

Abstract
Controlled synthesis of noble-metal nanoframes is of great interest due to their promising applications in plasmonics and catalysis. However, the synthesis is largely limited to a multiple-step approach involving selective deposition followed by selective etching. Here we report a facile and general strategy to synthesize Au-Ag nanoframes based on a direct galvanic replacement reaction between Ag nanoparticles and a gold(I) complex, sodium aurothiosulfate, without an extra etching process. The formation of Au-Ag nanoframes in our approach undergoes a continuous concaving and hollowing-out process from Ag templates, which is related to selective Au deposition and the Kirkendall effect. As a proof-of-concept, it was shown that Au-Ag nanoframes with different dimensions can be prepared from the corresponding Ag nanocolloids using our strategy. The prepared wire-like Au-Ag nanoframes show superior single-particle surface-enhanced Raman scattering due to the linear narrow nanogaps within the nanoframes. We believe this study signifies a new approach by mediating galvanic replacement to prepare noble-metal nanoframes with precise controllability, which may enable a variety of applications in plasmonics and catalysis.

Abstract
The existence of various surface active sites within a nanocrystal (NC) catalyst complicates understanding their respective catalytic properties and designing an optimal catalyst structure for a desired catalytic reaction. Here, we developed a novel approach that allows unequivocal investigation on the intrinsic catalytic reactivity of the edge and terrace atoms of NCs. Through the comparison of the catalytic behaviors of edge-covered Pd NCs, which were prepared by the selective deposition of catalytically inactive Au atoms onto the edge sites of rhombic dodecahedral (RD) Pd NCs, with those of the pristine RD Pd NCs toward alkyne hydrogenation and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions, we could decouple the activity of the edge and {110}-plane atoms of the Pd NCs without uncertainties. We expect that this study will provide an opportunity to scrutinize the surface properties of various NC catalysts to a more precise level and devise ideal catalysts for intended catalytic reactions.

Abstract
The redox-targeting (RT) process or redox-mediated process, which provides great operation flexibility in circumventing the constraints intrinsically posed by the conventional electrochemical systems, is intriguing for various energy storage and conversion applications. Implementation of the RT reactions in redox-flow cells, which involves a close-loop electrochemical-chemical cycle between an electrolyte-borne redox mediator and an energy storage or conversion material, not only boosts the energy density of flow battery system, but also offers a versatile research platform applied to a wide variety of chemistries for different applications. Here, the recent progress of RT-based energy storage and conversion systems is summarized and great versatility of RT processes for various energy-related applications is demonstrated, particularly for large-scale energy storage, spatially decoupled water electrolysis, electrolytic N2 reduction, thermal-to-electrical conversion, spent battery material recycling, and more. The working principle, materials aspects, and factors dictating the operation are highlighted to reveal the critical roles of RT reactions for each application. In addition, the challenges lying ahead for deployment are stated and recommendations for addressing these constraints are provided. It is anticipated that the RT concept of energy materials will provide important implications and eventually offer a credible solution for advanced large-scale energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
This study examines the atomic confinement of commercial Pt/C electrocatalysts. While a high electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction is important for proton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) performance, the high stability of the electrocatalyst is essential for real applications under harsh operating conditions. The demands necessitate the development of advanced electrocatalysts that are resistant to corrosion. A combination of diazonium chemistry with Cu electrodeposition permits the selective protection of the carbon surface of the commercial Pt/C to prevent corrosion while improving wettability and ionic transfer. The resulting electrocatalysts exhibit an exceptional ORR stability after accelerated stress testing (AST) with a 250% improvement in comparison with unprotected commercial Pt/C. This novel electrochemical pathway provides a much-needed boost to carbon-based catalytic supports, which still face several stability challenges in energy applications in a harsh environment.

Abstract
Structure-controlled Pt-based nanocrystals have the great potential to provide a flexible strategy for improving the catalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Here, a new synthetic approach is developed to tune the 3D structure of Pt-based alloys, and switch a synthetic reaction which produces solid PtCu octahedral stars (OSs) to produce PtCu nested skeleton cubes (NSCs) by simple addition of Ni(acac)2 . In particular, Ni2+ -guided anisotropic growth is observed to generate the nested skeleton structure in PtCu NSCs. Ni2+ , though absent from the nanoalloys, not only endows faster Cu reduction kinetics but also acts as a structure-directing agent. Moreover, it is shown that acetic acid treatment of PtCu NSCs/C exposes Pt-rich surface with a fine-tuned Pt d-band center energy and the reduced Cu leaching, resulting in strikingly high activity and stability. Acid-treated PtCu NSCs/C shows a remarkable ORR mass activity of 5.13 A mgPt -1 , about 26 times higher than commercial Pt/C catalyst. This catalyst also exhibits excellent stability with a lower activity decay of 11.5% and the negligible variation in structure after 10 000 cycles.

Abstract
We report an anisotropic-kinetics transformation strategy to prepare single-crystalline aluminosilicate MFI zeolites (ZSM-5) with highly open nanoarchitectures and hierarchical porosities. The methodology relies on the cooperative effect of in situ etching and recrystallization on the evolution of pure-silica MFI zeolite (silicalite-1) nanotemplates under hydrothermal conditions. The strategy enables a controllable preparation of ZSM-5 nanostructures with diverse open geometries by tuning the relative rate difference between etching and recrystallization processes. Meanwhile, it can also be extended to synthesize other heteroatom-substituted MFI zeolite nanocages. Compared with conventional ZSM-5 microcrystals, nanocrystals, and nanoboxes, the ZSM-5 nanocages with single-crystalline nature, highly open nanoarchitectures, and hierarchical porosities exhibit remarkably enhanced catalytic lifetime and low coking rate in the methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) reaction.

Abstract
The mechanical and magnetic properties of polycrystalline nanoframes were investigated using atomistic molecular dynamics and micromagnetic simulations. The magneto-mechanical response of Fe hollow-like nanocubes was addressed by uniaxial compression carried out by nanoindentation. Our results show that the deformation of a nanoframe is dominated at lower strains by the compression of the nanostructure due to filament bending. This leads to the nanoframe twisting perpendicular to the indentation direction for larger indentation depths. Bending and twisting reduce stress concentration and, at the same time, increase coercivity. This unexpected increase of the coercivity occurs because the mechanical deformation changes the cubic shape of the nanoframe, which in turn drives the system to more stable magnetic states. A coercivity increase of almost 100 mT is found for strains close to 0.03, which are within the elastic regime of the Fe nanoframe. Coercivity then decreases at larger strains. However, in all cases, the coercivity is higher than for the undeformed nanoframe. These results can help in the design of new magnetic devices where mechanical deformation can be used as a primary tool to tailor the magnetic response on nanoscale solids.

Abstract
ConspectusAtoms in a bulk solid phase are usually trapped to fixed positions and can change their position only under certain conditions (e.g., at a melting point) due to the high energy barrier of migration between positions within the crystal lattice. Contrary to the atoms in the bulk solid phase, however, atoms in nanoparticles can migrate and change their local positions rather easily, enabled by the high surface energies. The energy states of surface atoms of nanoparticles can be altered by surface-binding moieties, which in turn influence the intrananoparticle migration of atoms at the subsurface of nanoparticles. In 2008, this possibility of intrananoparticle migration was demonstrated with RhPd alloy nanoparticles under the different gas environments of reductive CO or oxidative NO. We envisaged that the explosive expansion of well-defined, multiphasic nanoparticle libraries might be realized by specifically dictating the atom migration direction, by modulating the energy state of specific atoms in the multiphasic nanocrystals. The nanoparticle surface energy is a function of a myriad of factors, namely, surface binding moiety, structural features affecting coordination number of atoms such as nanoparticle geometry, steps, and kinks, and the existence of heterointerface with lattice mismatch. Therefore, all these factors affecting atom energy state in the nanoparticle, categorically termed as "chemical field" (CF), can serve as the driving force for purposeful directional movement of atoms within nanoparticles and subsequent reaction. Geometrically well-defined multiphasic nanocrystals present great promises toward various applications with special emphasis on catalysis and thus are worthy synthetic targets. In recent years, we have demonstrated that manipulation of CFs is an effective synthetic strategy for a variety of geometrically well-defined multiphasic nanocrystals. Herein, we classified multiphasic nanocrystals into metallic alloy systems and ionic systems (metal compounds) because the modes of CF are rather different between these two systems. The migration-directing CFs for neutral metallic atoms are mostly based on the local distribution of elements, degree of alloying, or highly energetic structural features. On the other hand, for the ionic system, structural parameters originating from the discrepancy between cations and anions should be more considered; ionic radii, phase stability, lattice strain, anionic frameworks, cation vacancies, etc. can react as CFs affecting atom migration behavior in the multiphasic ionic nanocrystals. We expect that the limits and potentials of CF-based synthesis of multiphasic nanocrystals described in this work will open a wide avenue to diverse material compositions and geometries, which have been difficult or impossible to approach via conventional nanoparticle synthesis schemes.

Abstract
PtRu/C is a well-known commercial electrocatalyst with promising performance for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Further improving the MOR properties of PtRu-based electrocatalysts is highly desirable, especially through structure design. Here we report a facile approach for the synthesis of PdPtRu nanocages with different components through a seed-mediated approach followed by chemical etching. The Pd@PtRu nanocubes were first generated using Pd nanocubes as the seeds and some Pd atoms were subsequently etched away, leading to the nanocages. When evaluated as electrocatalysts for the MOR in acidic media, the PdPtRu nanocages exhibited substantially enhanced catalytic activity and stability relative to commercial Pt/C and PtRu/C. Specifically, PdPt2.5Ru2.4 achieved the highest specific (8.2 mA cm-2) and mass (0.75 mA mgPt -1) activities for the MOR, which are 2.2 and 4.2 times higher than those of commercial Pt/C. Such an enhancement can be attributed to the highly open structure of the nanocages, and the possible synergistic effect between the three components.

Abstract
Quantitative detection of cancer cells using portable devices is promising for the development of simple, fast, and point-of-care cancer diagnostic techniques. However, how to further amplify the detection signal to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of detecting cancer cells by portable devices remains a challenge. To solve the problem, we, for the first time, synthesized folic-acid-conjugated Au nanoframes (FA-Au NFs) with amplification of pressure and temperature signals for highly sensitive and accurate detection of cancer cells by portable pressure meters and thermometers. The resulting Au NFs exhibit excellent near-infrared (NIR) photothermal performance and catalase activity, which can promote the decomposition of NH4HCO3 and H2O2 to generate corresponding gases (CO2, NH3, and O2), thereby synergistically amplifying pressure signals in a closed reaction vessel. At the same time, Au NFs with excellent peroxidase-like activity can catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to produce TMB oxide (oxTMB) with a strong photothermal effect, thereby cooperating with Au NFs to amplify the photothermal signal. In the presence of cancer cells with overexpressing folate receptors (FRs), the molecular recognition signals between FA and FR can be converted into amplified pressure and temperature signals, which can be easily read by portable pressure meters and thermometers, respectively. The detection limits for cancer cells using pressure meters and thermometers are 6 and 5 cells/mL, respectively, which are better than other reported methods. Moreover, such Au NFs can improve tumor hypoxia by catalyzing the decomposition of H2O2 to produce O2 and perform photothermal therapy of cancer. Together, our work provides new insight into the application of Au NFs to develop a dual-signal sensing platform with amplification of pressure and temperature signals for portable and ultrasensitive detection of cancer cells as well as personalized cancer therapy.

Abstract
In recent years, bimetallic nanocrystals have attracted great interest from many researchers. Bimetallic nanocrystals are expected to exhibit improved physical and chemical properties due to the synergistic effect between the two metals, not just a combination of two monometallic properties. More importantly, the properties of bimetallic nanocrystals are significantly affected by their morphology, structure, and atomic arrangement. Reasonable regulation of these parameters of nanocrystals can effectively control their properties and enhance their practicality in a given application. This review summarizes some recent research progress in the controlled synthesis of shape, composition and structure, as well as some important applications of bimetallic nanocrystals. We first give a brief introduction to the development of bimetals, followed by the architectural diversity of bimetallic nanocrystals. The most commonly used and typical synthesis methods are also summarized, and the possible morphologies under different conditions are also discussed. Finally, we discuss the composition-dependent and shape-dependent properties of bimetals in terms of highlighting applications such as catalysis, energy conversion, gas sensing and bio-detection applications.

Abstract
Alloy structures with high catalytic surface areas and tunable surface energies can lead to high catalytic selectivity and activities. Herein, the synthesis of sponge-like Pd3 Pb multiframes (Pd3 Pb MFs) is reported by using the thermodynamically driven phase segregation, which exhibit high selectivity (93%) for the conversion of furfural to furfuryl alcohol (FOL) under mild conditions. The excellent catalytic performance of the Pd3 Pb MF catalysts is attributed to the high surface area and optimized surface energy of the catalyst, which is associated with the introduction of Pb to Pd. Density functional theory calculations show that the binding energy of FOL to the surface energy-tuned Pd3 Pb MF is sufficiently lowered to prevent side reactions such as over-hydrogenation of FOL.

Abstract
The design and development of efficient catalytic materials with synergistic catalytic sites always has long been known to be a thrilling and very dynamic research field. Crystalline porous materials (CPMs) mainly including metal-organic frameworks and zeolites with high scientific and industrial impact have recently been the subject of extensive research due to their essential role in modern chemical industrial processes. The rational incorporation of guest species in CPMs can synergize the respective strengths of these components and allow them to collaborate with each other for synergistic catalysis, leading to enhanced catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability in a broad range of catalytic processes. In this review, the recent advances in the development of CPMs-confined active metal species, including metal nanoparticles, metal/metal oxides heteroparticles, metal oxide, subnanometric metal clusters, and polyoxometalates, for heterogeneous catalysis, with a particular focus on synergistic effects between active components that result in an enhanced performance are highlighted. Insights into catalysts design strategies, host-guest interactions, and structure-property relationships have been illustrated in detail. Finally, the existing challenges and possible development directions in CPMs-based encapsulation-structured synergistic catalysts are discussed.

Abstract
Controlling the morphologies and structures of noble-metal nanocrystals has always been a frontier field in electrocatalysis. Functional molecules such as capping agents, surfactants and additives are indispensable in shape-control synthesis. Amino-based functional molecules have strong coordination abilities with metal ions, and they are widely used in the morphology control of nanocrystals. In this minireview, we pay close attention to recent advances in the use of amino-based functional molecules for the controllable synthesis of noble-metal nanocrystals. The effects of various amino-based molecules on differently shaped noble-metal nanocrystals, including zero-, one-, two-, and three-dimensional nanocrystals, are reviewed and summarized. The roles and mechanisms of amino-based small molecules and long-chain ammonium salts relating to the morphology-control synthesis of noble-metal nanocrystals are highlighted. Relationships between shape and electrocatalytic properties are also described. Finally, some key prospects and challenges relating to the controllable synthesis of noble-metal nanocrystals and their electrocatalytic applications are proposed.

Abstract
Insufficient catalytic activity and stability and high cost are the barriers for Pt-based electrocatalysts in wide practical applications. Herein, a hierarchically porous PtNi nanoframe/N-doped graphene aerogel (PtNiNF-NGA) electrocatalyst with outstanding performance toward methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in acid electrolyte has been developed via facile tert-butanol-assisted structure reconfiguration. The ensemble of high-alloying-degree-modulated electronic structure and correspondingly the optimum MOR reaction pathway, the structure superiorities of hierarchical porosity, thin edges, Pt-rich corners, and the anchoring effect of the NGA, endow the PtNiNF-NGA with both prominent electrocatalytic activity and stability. The mass and specific activity (1647 mA mgPt -1 , 3.8 mA cm-2 ) of the PtNiNF-NGA are 5.8 and 7.8 times higher than those of commercial Pt/C. It exhibits exceptional stability under a 5-hour chronoamperometry test and 2200-cycle cyclic voltammetry scanning.

Abstract
Nanoframe alloy structures represent a class of high-performance catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), owing to their high active surface area, efficient molecular accessibility, and nanoconfinement effect. However, structural and chemical instabilities of nanoframes remain an important challenge. Here, we report the synthesis of PtCu nanoframes constructed with an atomically ordered intermetallic structure (O-PtCuNF/C) showing high ORR activity, durability, and chemical stability. We rationally designed the O-PtCuNF/C catalyst by combining theoretical composition predictions with a silica-coating-mediated synthesis. The O-PtCuNF/C combines intensified strain and ligand effects from the intermetallic PtCu L11 structure and advantages of the nanoframes, resulting in superior ORR activity to disordered alloy PtCu nanoframes (D-PtCuNF/C) and commercial Pt/C catalysts. Importantly, the O-PtCuNF/C showed the highest ORR mass activity among PtCu-based catalysts. Furthermore, the O-PtCuNF/C exhibited higher ORR durability and far less etching of constituent atoms than D-PtCuNF/C and Pt/C, attesting to the chemically stable nature of the intermetallic structure.
