Abstract
The creation of electrocatalysts with reduced concentrations of platinum-group metals remains a critical challenge for electrochemical hydrogen production. High-entropy alloys (HEAs) offer a distinct type of catalyst with tunable compositions and engineered surface activity, significantly enhancing the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). We present the synthesis of AuPdFeNiCo HEA nanoparticles (NPs) using a wet impregnation method. The composition and structure of the AuPdFeNiCo HEA NPs are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). These nanoparticles exhibit robust HER performance quantified over a broad pH range, with higher activity than any of the unary metal counterparts in all pHs. In comparison to a commercial 10%Pt/C electrocatalyst, AuPdFeNiCo HEA NPs exhibit enhanced electrochemical activity in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. Additionally, these nanoparticles achieve a current density of 100 mA cm-2 at a voltage of 540 mV in neutral electrolytes, outperforming Pt/C which requires 570 mV. These findings help enable broad use of reduced precious metal electrocatalysts for water electrolysis in a variety of water and pH conditions.

The development of efficient heterogeneous catalytic system to convert plentiful biomass to renewable bio-chemicals is urgent need. Titanate nanotubes-based materials obtained from hydrothermal treatment have been reported as low-cost and efficient catalytic materials in chemical syntheses for bio-based chemicals production with interesting catalytic performance. This mini-review expressly revealed the significance and potential of using titanate nanotubes based material as sustainable and environmentally benign solid catalysts/supports for synthesis of various bio-based chemicals, including glycerol-derived solketal, jet fuel range alkanes precursors, biomass-derived esters, aldehydes, aromatic compounds and so on.

Abstract
![]()
The development and
application of trimetallic nanoparticles continues
to accelerate rapidly as a result of advances in materials design,
synthetic control, and reaction characterization. Following the technological
successes of multicomponent materials in automotive exhausts and photovoltaics,
synergistic effects are now accessible through the careful preparation
of multielement particles, presenting exciting opportunities in the
field of catalysis. In this review, we explore the methods currently
used in the design, synthesis, analysis, and application of trimetallic
nanoparticles across both the experimental and computational realms
and provide a critical perspective on the emergent field of trimetallic
nanocatalysts. Trimetallic nanoparticles are typically supported on
high-surface-area metal oxides for catalytic applications, synthesized via preparative conditions that are comparable to those
applied for mono- and bimetallic nanoparticles. However, controlled
elemental segregation and subsequent characterization remain challenging
because of the heterogeneous nature of the systems. The multielement
composition exhibits beneficial synergy for important oxidation, dehydrogenation,
and hydrogenation reactions; in some cases, this is realized through
higher selectivity, while activity improvements are also observed.
However, challenges related to identifying and harnessing influential
characteristics for maximum productivity remain. Computation provides
support for the experimental endeavors, for example in electrocatalysis,
and a clear need is identified for the marriage of simulation, with
respect to both combinatorial element screening and optimal reaction
design, to experiment in order to maximize productivity from this
nascent field. Clear challenges remain with respect to identifying,
making, and applying trimetallic catalysts efficiently, but the foundations
are now visible, and the outlook is strong for this exciting chemical
field.

Au-Pd nanoparticles immobilized on TiO 2 nanosheet as an active and durable catalyst for solvent-free selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 588:787-794.

Abstract
TiO2nanocrystals with controlled facets have been extensively investigated due to their excellent photocatalytic performance in sustainable and green energy field. However, the applications in thermal catalysis without applying UV irradiation are comparably less and the identification of their intrinsic roles, especially the different catalytic behaviors of each crystal facet, remains not fully recognized. In this study, bimetallic AuPd nanoparticles supported on anatase TiO2 nanosheets exposing {001} facets or TiO2 nanospindles exposing {101} as a catalyst were prepared by sol-immobilization method and used for solvent-free benzyl alcohol oxidation. The experimental results indicated that the exposed facet of the support has a significant effect on the catalytic performance. AuPd/TiO2-001 catalyst exhibited a higher benzyl alcohol conversion than that of the AuPd/TiO2-101. Meanwhile, all the prepared AuPd/TiO2 catalysts were characterized by XRD, ICP-AES, XPS, BET, TEM, and HRTEM. The results revealed that the higher number of oxygen vacancies in TiO2-sheets with the exposed {001} facets of higher surface energy could be responsible for the observed enhancement in the catalytic performance of benzyl alcohol oxidation. The present study displays that it is plausible to enhance the catalytic performance for the benzyl alcohol oxidation by tailoring the exposed facet of the TiO2 as a catalyst support.
