Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting in acidic media is one of the most promising hydrogen production technologies, yet its practical applications in proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolyzers are limited by the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Iridium (Ir)-based materials are considered as the state-of-the-art catalysts for acidic OER due to their good stability under harsh acidic conditions. However, their activities still have much room for improvement. Two-dimensional (2D) materials are full of the advantages of high-surface area, unique electrical properties, facile surface modification, and good stability, making the development of 2D Ir-based catalysts more attractive for achieving high catalytic performance. In this review, first, the unique advantages of 2D catalysts for electrocatalysis are reviewed. Thereafter, the classification, synthesis methods, and recent OER achievements of 2D Ir-based materials, including pure metals, alloys, oxides, and perovskites are introduced. Finally, the prospects and challenges of developing 2D Ir-based catalysts for future acidic OER are discussed.

Abstract
Metal nanowires (NWs) with a diameter of a few nanometers have attracted considerable attention as a promising one-dimensional nanomaterial due to their inherent flexibility and conductive properties and their weak plasmon absorption in the visible region. In a previous paper, we reported the synthesis of ultrathin 1.8 nm-diameter Au NWs using toluene-solubilized aqueous solutions of a long-chain amidoamine derivative (C18AA). This study investigates the effect of different organic solvents solubilized in C18AA aqueous solutions on the morphology of the Au products and demonstrates that solubilizing methylcyclohexane yields thick 2.7 nm-diameter Au NWs and 3.3 nm-diameter Au-Ag alloy NWs. Further, the surface-enhanced Raman scattering sensitivity of ultrathin Au NWs, thick Au NWs, and thick Au-Ag alloy NWs were assessed using 4-mercaptopyridine and found that their enhancement factors are 104-105 and the order is Au-Ag NWs > thick Au NWs > ultrathin Au NWs.

Abstract
Strategic metals play an indispensable role in the related industries. Their extraction and recovery from water are of great significance due to both their rapid consumption and environmental concern. Biofibrous nanomaterials have shown great advantages in capturing metal ions from water. Recent progress in extraction of typical strategic metal ions such as noble metal ions, nuclear metal ions, and Li-battery related metal ions is reviewed here using typical biological nanofibrils like cellulose nanofibrils, chitin nanofibrils, and protein nanofibrils, as well as their assembly forms like fibers, aerogels/hydrogels, and membranes. An overview of advances in material design and preparation, extraction mechanism, dynamics/thermodynamics, and performance improvement in the last decade is provided. And at last, we propose the current challenges and future perspectives for promoting biological nanofibrous materials toward extracting strategic metal ions in practical conditions of natural seawater, brine, and wastewater.

Abstract
Anisotropic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), with their unique physical and optical properties, are emerging as smart and key nanomaterials and are being exploited in many crucial fields. To further improve their range of action, anisotropic AuNPs have been coupled with semiconductors, mainly TiO2 (titania), receiving great interest as powerful platforms both in biomedicine and in catalytic applications. Such hybrid nanoparticles show new properties that arise from the synergic action of the components and rely on NP size, morphology, and arrangement. Therefore, continuous advances in design and fabrication of new hybrid titania@gold NPs (TiO2@AuNPs) are urgent and highly desirable. Here, we propose an effective protocol to produce multibranched AuNPs covered by a controlled TiO2 thin layer, exploiting a one-pot microfluidic process. The proposed method allows the in-flow and reliable synthesis of titania-functionalized-anisotropic gold nanoparticles by avoiding the use of toxic surfactants and controlling the titania shell formation. TiO2@AuNPs have been fully characterized in terms of morphology, stability, and biocompatibility, and their activity in photocatalysis has been tested and verified.

As one unique group of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, 2D metal nanomaterials have drawn increasing attention owing to their intriguing physiochemical properties and broad range of promising applications. In this Review, we briefly introduce the general synthetic strategies applied to 2D metal nanomaterials, followed by describing in detail the various synthetic methods classified in two categories, i.e. bottom-up methods and top-down methods. After introducing the unique physical and chemical properties of 2D metal nanomaterials, the potential applications of 2D metal nanomaterials in catalysis, surface enhanced Raman scattering, sensing, bioimaging, solar cells, and photothermal therapy are discussed in detail. Finally, the challenges and opportunities in this promising research area are proposed.
