Abstract
High-entropy alloys nanoparticles (HEAs NPs) have gained considerable attention due to their extensive compositional tunability and intriguing catalytic properties. However, the synthesis of highly dispersed ultrasmall HEAs NPs remains a formidable challenge due to their inherent thermodynamic instability. In this study, highly dispersed ultrasmall (ca. 2 nm) PtCuGaFeCo HEAs NPs are synthesized using a one-pot solution-based method at 160 °C and atmospheric pressure. The PtCuGaFeCo NPs exhibit good catalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The half-wave potential relative to the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) reaches 0.88 V, and the mass activity and specific activity are approximately six times and four times higher than that of the commercial Pt/C catalyst. Based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) analyses, the surface strain and optimized coordination environments of PtCuGaFeCo have led to high ORR activities in acidic media. Moreover, the ultrasmall size also plays an important role in enhancing catalytic performance. The work presents a facile and viable synthesis strategy for preparing the ultrasmall HEAs NPs, offering great potential in energy and electrocatalysis applications through entropy engineering.

Abstract
Platinum (Pt) and Pt-based alloys have been extensively studied as efficient catalysts for both the anode and cathode of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC). Defect engineering has been revealed to be practicable in tuning the charge transfer between Pt and transition metals/supports, which leads to the charge density rearrangement and facilitates the electrocatalytic performance. Herein, Pr-doped CeO2 nanocubes were used as the noncarbon support of a PtCu catalyst. The concentration and structure of oxygen vacancy (Vo) defects were engineered by Pr doping. Besides the Vo monomer, the oxygen vacancy with a linear structure is also observed, leading to the one-dimensional PtCu. The Vo concentration shows the volcanic scenario as Pr increased. Accordingly, the activities of PtCu/PrxCe1-xO2 toward methanol oxidation and oxygen reduction reactions exhibit the volcanic scenario. PtCu/Pr0.15Ce0.85O2 exhibits the optimal catalytic performance with the specific activity 3.57 times higher than that of Pt/C toward MOR and 1.34 times higher toward ORR. The MOR and ORR mass activities of PtCu/Pr0.15Ce0.85O2 reached 1.05 and 0.12 A·mg-1, which are 3.09 and 0.92 times the values of Pt/C, respectively. The abundant Vo afforded surplus electrons, which tailored the electron transfer between PtCu and PrxCe1-xO2, leading to enhanced catalytic performance of PtCu/PrxCe1-xO2. DFT calculations on PtCu/Pr0.15Ce0.85O2 revealed that Pr doping reduced the band gap of CeO2 and lowered the overpotential.

Abstract
Development of general and simple designs of catalytic electrodes for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is critical. The present work demonstrates the multiple roles played by a hydrogel polymer in the fabrication and activity enhancement of the nanoelectrocatalyst. A nanocomposite thin film of Pd with the insulating hydrogel, poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA), is fabricated through a facile in situ process, the polymer itself functioning as the reducing/stabilizing agent in the formation of Pd nanoparticles. Pd-PHEMA on Ni foam enables efficient HER in alkaline medium with a low overpotential; the polymer enables the electrocatalysis by its swelling and confinement of the electrolyte. Most significantly, when the electrode is subjected to an optimized cycling protocol, the overpotential decreases steadily, reaching an impressively low value of 36 mV (@10 mA cm-2 ). A low Tafel slope (68 mV dec-1 ), high exchange current density, Faradaic efficiency and TOF (3.27 mA cm-2 , 99 %, 122.7 h-1 ), and extended stability are achieved. Detailed investigations reveal the active role of the polymer in the evolution of the nanocatalyst, itself undergoing favorable morphological changes. The study illustrates the widened scope for developing efficient and stable catalytic electrodes with hydrogel polymers and unique features that promote the generation of green hydrogen.

Abstract
Carbendazim (CBZ) is a widespread fungicide used in crop protection, but the CBZ residues in drinking water, fruits, and vegetables can also cause adverse impacts on public health due to direct exposure. In this paper, a ternary synergistic composite of bimetallic CoCu nanoparticles anchored on covalent organic framework/single-walled carbon nanotube (CoCu/COF/SWCNT) was prepared and further applied as an electrochemical sensing platform for detecting CBZ. The sensor showed a sensitive response performance toward CBZ oxidation, as a result of the enhanced charge transfer ability, large electrochemically active surface area, and high electro-catalytic activity from the rational integration of the ternary components in CoCu/COF/SWCNT. Under the optimal conditions, the proposed sensor exhibited a detection range of 0.001 to 10 μM and a limit detection of 0.65 nM for CBZ detection. In addition, the sensor displayed practical feasibility for the determination of CBZ in water and pear samples with a recovery of 96.1 % to 102.1 %.

Abstract
Rational design and controllable synthesis of Pt-based materials with intimate interfacial contact open up the possibility for boosting the performance of the ORR (oxygen reduction reaction) and HER (hydrogen evolution reaction). However, it is still challenging to prevent the oxidation of Pt during the formation of alloys and to clarify the interfacial synergistic effects on the catalytic performance between Pt alloys and the dispersed substrate. Herein, the wet chemical stripping and intercalation methods were employed to synthesize a two-dimensional (2D) MXene with abundant defect sites, which can anchor Pt3Co/Pt3Ni nanoparticles and prevent the oxidation of Pt during the process of atomic rearrangement at high temperatures. The obtained Pt3Co/MXene and Pt3Ni/MXene displayed different phase compositions and alloying degrees on adjusting the annealing temperature. Electrochemical test results showed that the optimized HER and ORR electrocatalytic activities occurred at 700 °C. Compared with Pt3Ni/MXene-700, Pt3Co/MXene-700 exhibited an HER overpotential of 1.3 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2, and a Tafel slope of 27.11 mV dec-1 in 0.1 M HClO4 solution. Furthermore, Pt3Co/MXene-700 exhibited an ORR half-wave potential of 0.897 V, and a mass activity of 241.1 mA mg-1Pt in 0.1 M HClO4 solution. This can be attributed to the formation of intermetallic compounds in Pt3Co/MXene. The electronic structure analysis showed that the enhanced performance could be assigned to the electron-capturing capability of the MXene, less oxidation of Pt and synergistic interactions between the Pt alloy and the MXene substrate. These findings provide a new strategy for the synthesis of highly active HER/ORR catalysts and broaden the way for the design of MXene-based catalysts.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a sort of promising peroxidase-like nanozyme but face the challenge that the inorganic nodes in most of the MOF structures are generally blocked by the organic linkers. Further enhancement or activation of their peroxidase-like activity plays an important role in developing MOF-based nanozymes. Herein, a multimetallic nanoparticle (NP) decorated-MOF, Cu/Au/Pt NP decorated-Cu-TCPP(Fe) nanozyme (CuAuPt/Cu-TCPP(Fe)) was synthesized in situ and served as a peroxidase-like nanozyme. The peroxidase-like activity of this stable CuAuPt/Cu-TCPP(Fe) nanozyme was enhanced due to the decreased potential barriers for *OH generation in the catalytic process. Owing to the remarkable peroxidase-like activity, a CuAuPt/Cu-TCPP(Fe)-based colorimetric assay was established for the sensitive determination of H2O2 and glucose with the limit of detection (LOD) of 9.3 µM and 4.0 µM, respectively. In addition, a visual point-of-care testing (POCT) device was developed by integrating the CuAuPt/Cu-TCPP(Fe)-based test strips with a smartphone and was employed for a portable test of 20 clinical serum glucose samples. The results determined by this method agree well with the values deduced by clinical automatic biochemical analysis. This work not only represents an inspiration for the usage of MNP/MOF composite as a novel nanozyme for POCT diagnosis, but also provides a deeper insight and understanding into the enhanced enzyme-mimic effect of MNP-hybrid MOF composites, which in turn will guide the engineering of MOF-based functional nanomaterials.

Abstract
At present, the problems of high energy consumption and low efficiency in electrocatalytic hydrogen production have limited the large-scale industrial application of this technology. Constructing effective catalysts has become the way to solve these problems. Transition metal alloys have been proved to be very promising materials in hydrogen evaluation reaction (HER). In this study, the related theories and characterization methods of electrocatalysis are summarized, and the latest progress in the application of binary, ternary, and high entropy alloys to HER in recent years is analyzed and studied. The synthesis methods and optimization strategies of transition metal alloys, including composition regulation, hybrid engineering, phase engineering, and morphological engineering were emphatically discussed, and the principles and performance mechanism analysis of these strategies were discussed in detail. Although great progress has been made in alloy catalysts, there is still considerable room for applications. Finally, the challenges, prospects, and research directions of transition metal alloys in the future were predicted.

Abstract
Recent experimental analysis indicates WO3-based nanostructures exhibit poor hydrogen evolution reactivity, particularly in alkaline medium, arising from the low electron transfer rate. It is imperative to tune the composition and structure of WO3 to boost the cleavage of H-OH bond. Here, we construct Ru/WO3-W2N/N-doped carbon sheets (Ru/WO3-W2N/NC) using m-WO3 nanosheets as precursors with the aid of RuCl3, Tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane, and dopamine. Structural investigation reveals the formation of N-doped carbon sheets, Ru nanoparticles, and WO3-W2N. As a result, hydrogen evolution reactivity is greatly improved on Ru/WO3-W2N/N-doped carbon sheets with 64 mV at 10 mA/cm2 in 1 mol/L (M) KOH, outperforming most of WO3-based electrocatalysts in previous literatures. Meanwhile, it facilitates the generation of H2 in 0.5 M H2SO4 with the excellent activity of 110 mV at 10 mA/cm2. Our work provides an efficient strategy to tailor the electronic structure of WO3 to catalyze acidic and alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are promising liquid biopsy biomarkers for early cancer detection and anti-cancer therapy evaluation. The ultra-low abundance of CTCs in blood samples requires highly sensitive and accurate detection ways. In this study, we propose the design of a dual-recognition electrochemical biosensor to improve both the specificity and signal response. PdPtCuRu mesoporous nanospheres (PdPtCuRu MNSs) with excellent three dimensions (3D) nanopore structures were synthesized by one-pot method and connected to mucin 1 (MUC1) aptamer to serve as signal amplification probe. Besides, superconductive carbon black, Ketjen Black (KB), and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified organometallic frame (CeMOF-Au) were combined to work as signal transducer. The characteristic branching structure of KB provides abundant contact points to load CeMOF-Au to heighten the interface electron transfer rate. In addition, AuNPs were reduced on the surface of CeMOF, which could effectively bind the capture antibody and further enhance the conductivity. Under the optimized condition, the limit of detection (LOD) of the as-constructed biosensor was less than 10 cells mL-1 for model A549 cells, and showed good specificity and accuracy in spiked serum samples. We envision the as-proposed electrochemical biosensor would alternate as a useful tool for the clinical detection of CTCs for cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Developing low-loading Pt-based catalysts possessing glorious catalytic performance can accelerate oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and hence significantly advance the commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. In this report, we propose a hybrid catalyst that consists of low-loading sub-3 nm PtCo intermetallic nanoparticles carried on Co-N-C (PtCo/Co-N-C) via the microwave-assisted polyol procedure and subsequent heat treatment. Atomically dispersed Co atoms embedded in the Co-N-C carriers diffuse into the lattice of Pt, thus forming ultrasmall PtCo intermetallic nanoparticles. Owing to the dual effect of the enhanced metal-support interaction and alloy effect, as-fabricated PtCo/Co-N-C catalysts deliver an extraordinary performance, achieving a half-wave potential of 0.921 V, a mass activity of 0.700 A mgPt-1@0.9 V, and brilliant durability in the acidic medium. The fuel cell employing PtCo/Co-N-C as the cathode catalyst with an ultralow Pt loading of 0.05 mg cm-2 exhibits an impressive peak power density of 0.700 W cm-2, higher than that of commercial Pt/C under the same condition. Furthermore, the enhanced intrinsic ORR activity and stability are imputed to the downshifted d-band center and the strengthened metal-support interaction, as revealed by density functional theory calculations. This report affords a facile tactic to fabricate Pt-based alloy composite catalysts, which is also applicable to other alloy catalysts.

Controlled Synthesis of Carbon-Supported Pt-Based Electrocatalysts for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells. ELECTROCHEM ENERGY R 2022; 5:13. [PMID: 36212026 PMCID: PMC9536324 DOI: 10.1007/s41918-022-00173-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2021] [Revised: 05/18/2021] [Accepted: 10/15/2021] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
AbstractProton exchange membrane fuel cells are playing an increasing role in postpandemic economic recovery and climate action plans. However, their performance, cost, and durability are significantly related to Pt-based electrocatalysts, hampering their large-scale commercial application. Hence, considerable efforts have been devoted to improving the activity and durability of Pt-based electrocatalysts by controlled synthesis in recent years as an effective method for decreasing Pt use, and consequently, the cost. Therefore, this review article focuses on the synthesis processes of carbon-supported Pt-based electrocatalysts, which significantly affect the nanoparticle size, shape, and dispersion on supports and thus the activity and durability of the prepared electrocatalysts. The reviewed processes include (i) the functionalization of a commercial carbon support for enhanced catalyst–support interaction and additional catalytic effects, (ii) the methods for loading Pt-based electrocatalysts onto a carbon support that impact the manufacturing costs of electrocatalysts, (iii) the preparation of spherical and nonspherical Pt-based electrocatalysts (polyhedrons, nanocages, nanoframes, one- and two-dimensional nanostructures), and (iv) the postsynthesis treatments of supported electrocatalysts. The influences of the supports, key experimental parameters, and postsynthesis treatments on Pt-based electrocatalysts are scrutinized in detail. Future research directions are outlined, including (i) the full exploitation of the potential functionalization of commercial carbon supports, (ii) scaled-up one-pot synthesis of carbon-supported Pt-based electrocatalysts, and (iii) simplification of postsynthesis treatments. One-pot synthesis in aqueous instead of organic reaction systems and the minimal use of organic ligands are preferred to simplify the synthesis and postsynthesis treatment processes and to promote the mass production of commercial carbon-supported Pt-based electrocatalysts.
Graphical Abstract
This review focuses on the synthesis process of Pt-based electrocatalysts/C to develop aqueous one-pot synthesis at large-scale production for PEMFC stack application.

Abstract
This review considers the features of the catalysts with different nanoparticle structures architecture transformation under the various pre-treatment types. Based on the results of the publications analysis, it can be concluded that the chemical or electrochemical activation of bimetallic catalysts has a significant effect on their composition, microstructure, and catalytic activity in the oxygen reduction reaction. The stage of electrochemical activation is recommended for use as a mandatory catalyst pre-treatment to obtain highly active de-alloyed materials. The literature is studied, which covers possible variants of the structural modification under the influence of thermal treatment under different processing conditions. Additionally, based on the literature data analysis, recommendations are given for the thermal treatment of catalysts alloyed with various d-metals.

Abstract
Hollow Pt-based nanoparticles are known to possess the properties of high electrocatalytic activity and durability. Nonetheless, their practical applications as catalytic materials are limited because of the requirement for exhaustive preparation. In this study, we prepared carbon-supported hollow PtNix (x = the moles of the Ni precursor to the Pt precursor in the catalyst preparation step) catalysts using a one-step preparation method, which substantially reduced the complexity of the conventional method for preparing hollow Pt-based catalysts. In particular, this hollow structure formation mechanism was proposed based on extensive characterizations. The prepared catalysts were examined to determine if they could be used as electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Among the investigated catalysts, the acid-treated hollow PtNi3/C catalyst demonstrated the best ORR activity, which was 3 times higher and 2.3 times higher than those of the commercial Pt/C and acid-treated particulate PtNi3/C catalysts, respectively.

Abstract
In the field of catalysis, the design and construction of nanomaterials is an efficient way to optimize the catalytic activity of catalysts. This study presents the synthesis of PtCu tripod nanocrystals with branching structures and high purity prepared using a simple hydrothermal method. The dendritic PtCu triangular nanocrystals were successfully synthesized by regulating the amount of I- ions to achieve different degrees of branching on PtCu nanocrystals, and the process was systematically studied and analyzed. Meanwhile, dumbbell nanocrystals of PtCu were successfully synthesized through slight adjustments to synthesis conditions. In electrochemical tests, the obtained dendritic PtCu triangular nanocrystals exhibited prominent electrocatalytic activity and long-term stability for ethylene glycol, methanol, and ethanol oxidation reactions due to the unique nanostructures as well as alloyed virtue, and were much better than commercial Pt/C. In addition, this study provides a general strategy for designing novel branched Pt-based nanomaterials with high electrocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Construction of high-efficiency, low cost and stable non-noble metal catalyst on air cathode is of great importance for design and assembly of rechargeable Zn-air battery. Eriochrome black T (EBT) has phenolic hydroxyl and -N=Ν- groups, which provides multiple coordination sites for metal ions. Herein, Co9S8 nanoclusters implanted in Co/Mn-S,N multi-doped porous carbon (Co9S8@Co/Mn-S,N-PC) are fabricated with the mixture (i.e. EBT, metal precursors and dicyandiamide) by a coordination regulated pyrolysis strategy. Specifically, EBT effectively chelates with the Co and Mn ions, resulting in multiple incorporation and fine modulation of the carbon electronic structures. Meanwhile, its sulfonic acid groups are reduced at such high temperature, accompanied by simultaneously embedding S element in the carbon, ultimately in situ forming Co9S8 nanoclusters. The Co9S8@Co/Mn-S,N-PC performs as an effective bifunctional oxygen catalyst, displaying a positive half-wave potential of 0.85 V and a large limiting current density of 5.89 mA cm-2 for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline media, coupled with a small overpotential of 320 mV at 10 mA cm-2 towards oxygen evolution reaction (OER), outperforming commercial Pt/C and RuO2 catalysts, respectively. Furthermore, the assembled rechargeable Zn-air battery with Co9S8@Co/Mn-S,N-PC exhibits the much better charge/discharge performance and long-term durability (210 h, 630 cycles). This research opens an instructive avenue to develop high-efficient and stable bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts in energy transformation and storage devices.

Abstract
A carbon supported PtCux/C catalyst, which demonstrates high activity in the oxygen electroreduction and methanol electrooxidation reactions in acidic media, has been obtained using a method of chemical reduction of Pt (IV) and Cu (2+) in the liquid phase. It has been found that the potential range of the preliminary voltammetric activation of the PtCux/C catalyst has a significant effect on the de-alloyed material activity in the oxygen electroreduction reaction (ORR). High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) demonstrates that there are differences in the structures of the as-prepared material and the materials activated in different potential ranges. In this case, there is practically no difference in the composition of the PtCux-y/C materials obtained after activation in different conditions. The main reason for the established effect, apparently, is the reorganized features of the bimetallic nanoparticles’ surface structure, which depend on the value of the limiting anodic potential in the activation process. The effect of the activation conditions on the catalyst’s activity in the methanol electrooxidation reaction is less pronounced.

Abstract
Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst is one of the most significant influential factors for the application of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. This work introduces a mass-producible high-performance PtZn alloy integrative structure ORR catalyst, synthesized with the atomically dispersive metal-organic framework precursors. This PtZn catalyst displays excellent catalytic activity with the onset reduction potential of 1.0 VRHE@ 0.16 mA cm-2 (Reversible hydrogen electrode; RHE) and the half-wave potential of 0.934 VRHE for the ORR catalysis. The calculated specific activity and mass activity at 0.9 V are 9.44 A m-2 and 544 A gPt-1, respectively, which are 5.62 times and 5.77 times as high as the commercial Pt/C. The mass activity is remarkably higher than the target put forward by the Department of Energy (DOE; 440 A gPt-1). Furthermore, this PtZn catalyst also exhibits outstanding stability after the 10,000 potential cyclic degeneration test. The ORR current is much higher than Pt/C in the whole potential range not only before but also after the 10,000 potential cycles with identical Pt loading. This catalyst has a multifarious active-site catalytic structure with PtZn alloyed particles and atomically dispersive metal-N active sites on the N-doped graphited carbon matrix, exhibiting appealing ORR catalytic activity and sound stability for the application and scalable production of fuel cell catalysts.

Abstract
The ever-increasing need for the production and expenditure of sustainable energy is a result of the astonishing rate of consumption of fossil fuels and the accompanying environmental problems. Emphasis is being directed to the generation of sustainable energy by the fuel cell and water splitting technologies. Accordingly, the development of highly efficient electrocatalysts has attracted significant interest, as the fuel cell and water splitting technologies are critically dependent on their performance. Among numerous catalyst designs under investigation, nanoframe catalysts have an intrinsically large surface area per volume and a tunable composition, which impacts the number of catalytically active sites and their intrinsic catalytic activity, respectively. Nevertheless, the structural integrity of the nanoframe during electrochemical operation is an ongoing concern. Some significant advances in the field of nanoframe catalysts have been recently accomplished, specifically geared to resolving the catalytic stability concerns and significantly boosting the intrinsic catalytic activity of the active sites. Herein, general synthetic concepts of nanoframe structures and their structure-dependent catalytic performance are summarized, along with recent notable advances in this field.

Abstract
Direct alcohol fuel cells are highly promising as efficient power sources for various mobile and portable applications. However, for the further advancement of fuel cell technology it is necessary to develop new, cost-effective Pt-free electrocatalysts that could provide efficient alcohol oxidation and also resist cross-over poisoning. Here, we report new electrocatalytic materials for ethylene glycol oxidation, which are based on AuAg linear nanostructures. We demonstrate a low temperature tunable synthesis that enables the preparation of one dimensional (1D) AuAg nanostructures ranging from nanowires to a new nano-necklace-like structure. Using a two-step method, we showed that, by aging the initial reaction mixture at various temperatures, we produced ultrathin AuAg nanowires with a diameter of 9.2 ± 2 and 3.8 ± 1.6 nm, respectively. These nanowires exhibited a high catalytic performance for the electro-oxidation of ethylene glycol with remarkable poisoning resistance. These results highlight the benefit of 1D metal alloy-based nanocatalysts for fuel cell applications and are expected to make an important contribution to the further development of fuel cell technology.

Abstract
Hierarchical porous carbon-encapsulated ultrasmall PtCu (UsPtCu@C) nanoparticles (NPs) were constructed based on segmentation and re-encapsulation of porous PtCu NPs by using glucose as a green biomass carbon source. The synergistic electronic effect from the bimetallic elements can enhance the catalytic activity by adjusting the surface electronic structure of Pt. Most importantly, the generated porous carbon shell provided a large contact surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, and structural stability, and the ultrasmall PtCu NPs exhibited an increased electrochemical performance compared with their PtCu matrix because of the exposure of more catalytically active centers. This synergistic relationship between the components resulted in enhanced catalytic activity and better stability of the obtained UsPtCu@C for ethylene glycol oxidation reaction and the oxygen-reduction reaction in alkaline electrolyte, which was higher than the PtCu NPs and commercial Pt/C (20 wt % Pt on Vulcan XC-72). The electrochemically active surface areas of the UsPtCu@C, PtCu NPs, and commercial Pt/C were calculated to be approximately 230.2, 32.8, and 64.0 m2/gPt, respectively; the mass activity of the UsPtCu@C for the ethylene glycol oxidation reaction was 8.5 A/mgPt, which was 14.2 and 8.5 times that of PtCu NPs and commercial Pt/C, respectively. The specific activity of UsPtCu@C was 3.7 mA/cmpt2, which was 2.1 and 2.3 times that of PtCu NPs and commercial Pt/C, respectively. The onset potential (Eon-set) of UsPtCu@C for the oxygen-reduction reaction was 0.96 V (vs reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE), which was 110 and 60 mV higher than PtCu and commercial Pt/C, respectively. The half-wave potentials (E1/2) of UsPtCu@C, PtCu, and Pt/C were 0.88, 0.56, and 0.82 V (vs RHE), respectively, which indicated that the UsPtCu@C catalyst had an excellent bifunctional electrocatalytic activity.

Abstract
Multicomponent Pt-based nanowires (NWs) have attracted widespread attention as eletrocatalysts toward direct alcohol fuel cells because of their unique one-dimensional structure and high reaction dynamics. Quaternary PtPdAuTe NWs are designed via a facile template method, and NWs with a different composition are obtained by adjusting the feed ratio of metal precursors. The direct displacement reaction of metal precursors with Te NWs and the partial oxidation of Te lead to the formation of quaternary NWs. The rough surface and abundant reactive sites deriving from the rearrangement of metal atoms on the Te NWs surface endow the PtPdAuTe NWs with a superior electrocatalytic property and durability for methanol oxidation. The Pt20 Pd20 Au10 Te50 NWs display the largest mass activity and best stability among all catalysts. The preparation of PtPdAuTe NWs could provide a viable strategy for the preparation of other multicomponent NWs.

Abstract
Synthesis of high-efficiency catalysts for alcohol oxidation reaction caused great interest in direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs). Ultrathin PdFePb nanowires (NWs) with an average diameter of 2.3 nm were synthesized by a simple and fast one-pot aqueous synthesis, using octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol (NP-40) as the structure-directing agent. The as-prepared PdFePb NWs displayed an increscent electrochemically active surface area (ECSA, 121.18 m2 g-1 Pd). For ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR) and glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR), PdFePb NWs exhibited much higher activity and superior stability, outperforming those of homemade PdFe NWs, PdPb NWs, commercial Pd black and Pd/C (20 wt%). These results reveal dramatically high catalytic activity and durability of ultrathin PdFePb NWs in enhancing polyols electrooxidation.
