Abstract
Bimetallic two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are widely used in electrocatalysis owing to their unique physicochemical properties, while trimetallic 2D materials of porous structures with large surface area are rarely reported. In this paper, a one-pot hydrothermal synthesis of ternary ultra-thin PdPtNi nanosheets is developed. By adjusting the volume ratio of the mixed solvents, PdPtNi with porous nanosheets (PNSs) and ultrathin nanosheets (UNSs) was prepared. The growth mechanism of PNSs was investigated through a series of control experiments. Notably, thanks to the high atom utilization efficiency and fast electron transfer, the PdPtNi PNSs have remarkable activity of methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) and ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR). The mass activities of the well-tuned PdPtNi PNSs for MOR and EOR were 6.21 A mg-1 and 5.12 A mg-1, respectively, much higher than those of commercial Pt/C and Pd/C. In addition, after durability test, the PdPtNi PNSs exhibited desirable stability with the highest retained current density. Therefore, this work provides a significant guidance for designing and synthesizing a new 2D material with excellent catalytic performance toward direct fuel cells applications.

Abstract
Low-dimensional high-entropy alloy (HEA) nanomaterials are widely employed as electrocatalysts for energy conversion reactions, due to their inherent advantages, including high electron mobility, rich catalytically active site, optimal electronic structure. Moreover, the high-entropy, lattice distortion, and sluggish diffusion effects also enable them to be promising electrocatalysts. A thorough understanding on the structure-activity relationships of low-dimensional HEA catalyst play a huge role in the future pursuit of more efficient electrocatalysts. In this review, we summarize the recent progress of low-dimensional HEA nanomaterials for efficient catalytic energy conversion. By systematically discussing the fundamentals of HEA and properties of low-dimensional nanostructures, we highlight the advantages of low-dimensional HEAs. Subsequently, we also present many low-dimensional HEA catalysts for electrocatalytic reactions, aiming to gain a better understanding on the structure-activity relationship. Finally, a series of upcoming challenges and issues are also thoroughly proposed as well as their future directions.

Abstract
AbstractIn this work, IN738 superalloy used previously in gas turbines was recycled and used as a working electrode for the electrooxidation of different fuels, namely ethylene glycol, ethanol, and urea. The electrocatalytic efficiency of the electrode was studied by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and electrochemical impedance. Several kinetics parameters like diffusion coefficient, Tafel slope, rate constant, and activation energy were calculated. The modified electrode was characterized as received using XRD, SEM, and EDAX to elucidate the crystal structure and surface morphology before and after electrochemical oxidation. The anodic current densities of electrochemical oxidation of ethanol, ethylene glycol, and urea were 29, 17, and 12 mA.cm−2, respectively, in an alkaline solution at a potential of 0.6 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The kinetic parameters like diffusion coefficients for ethanol, ethylene glycol, and urea were found to be 1.5 $$\times$$

Abstract
Direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) has the advantages of high power density, high energy conversion efficiency and environmental friendliness, but its commercialization is restricted by factors such as insufficient activity and low anti-poisoning ability of anode catalyst for incomplete oxidation of ethanol. It is of great significance to design and prepare anode catalyst with high activity and high anti-poisoning ability that can be recycled. In this work, tubular palladium-based (Pd-based) catalysts with abundant lattice defect sites were prepared by simple and reproducible electro-displacement reactions using Cu nanowires as sacrificial template. Pd is the main catalytic element which provides adsorption sites for ethanol oxidation. Ag and Cu introduced facilitates the formation of hydroxyl groups to oxidize toxicity intermediates, and changes the d-band center position of Pd, so as to adjust the adsorption and desorption of ethanol and its intermediates on the Pd surface. At the same time, Au introduced with high potential maintains the stability of the catalyst structure. The tubular structure exposes more active sites, improves the atomic utilization rate and enhances the ability of the catalyst resisting dissolution and aggregation. The series of PdAuAgCu tubular catalysts with outer layer dendrites were prepared by electro-displacement reactions using the mixture (ethylene glycol : ultra-pure water = 3 : 1) as the reaction solvent and fivefold twinned Cu nanowires as sacrificial template. The performance evaluation of ethanol electrocatalytic oxidation showed that the Pd17Au40Ag11Cu32 tubular catalysts were prepared at 120 °C and 10 mM CTAB had excellent overall performance, with a peak mass activity of 6335 mA mgPd-1, which was 9.6 times of Pd/C (JM). The residual current density after the stability test of 3000 s was 249 mA mgPd-1, which was 3.3 times of Pd/C (JM).

Abstract
This paper reviews recent studies on the preparation of two-dimensional (2D) metal nanostructures, particularly nanosheets. As metal often exists in the high-symmetry crystal phase, such as face centered cubic structures, reducing the symmetry is often needed for the formation of low-dimensional nanostructures. Recent advances in characterization and theory allow for a deeper understanding of the formation of 2D nanostructures. This Review firstly describes the relevant theoretical framework to help the experimentalists understand chemical driving forces for the synthesis of 2D metal nanostructures, followed by examples on the shape control of different metals. Recent applications of 2D metal nanostructures, including catalysis, bioimaging, plasmonics, and sensing, are discussed. We end the Review with a summary and outlook of the challenges and opportunities in the design, synthesis, and application of 2D metal nanostructures.

Abstract
Single-atom site catalysts (SACs) provide an ideal platform to identify the active centers, explore the catalytic mechanism, and establish the structure-property relationships, and thus have attracted increasing interests for electrocatalytic energy conversion. Substantial endeavors have been devoted to the construction of carbon-supported SACs, and their progress have been comprehensively reviewed. Compared with carbon-supported SACs, transition metal compounds (TMCs)-supported SACs are still in their infancy in the field of electrocatalysis. However, they have also aroused ever-increasing attention for driving electrocatalytic water splitting, and emerged as an indispensable class of SACs in recent years, predominately owing to their inherently structural features, such as rich anchoring sites, surface defects, and lattice vacancy. Herein, in this review, we have systematically summarized the recent advances of a variety of TMC supported SACs toward electrocatalytic water splitting. The advanced characterization techniques and theoretical analyses for identifying and monitoring the atomic structure of SACs are firstly manifested. Subsequently, the anchoring and stabilization mechanisms for TMC supported SACs are also highlighted. Thereafter, the advances of TMC supported SACs for driving water electrolysis are systematically unraveled.

Abstract
The deployment of robust catalysts for electrochemical reactions is a critical topic for energy conversion techniques. Te-based nanomaterials have attracted increasing attention for their application in electrochemical reactions due to their positive influence on the electrocatalytic performance induced by their distinctive electronic and physicochemical properties. Herein, we have summarized the recent progress on Te-based nanocatalysts for electrocatalytic reactions by primarily focusing on the positive influence of Te on electrocatalysts. Firstly, Te-based nanomaterials can serve as an ideal template for the construction of well-defined nanostructures. Secondly, Te doping can significantly modify the electronic structure of the host catalyst, thereby, leading to the optimization of binding strength with intermediates. Furthermore, the Te etching strategy can also create a high density of surface defects, thereby leading to substantial improvement in the electrocatalytic performance. Additionally, many representative Te-based nanocatalysts for electrocatalytic reactions are also summarized and systematically discussed. Finally, a conclusive and perspective discussion is also provided to provide guidance for the future development of more efficient electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Morphological control of noble-metal-based nanocrystals has attracted enormous attention because their catalytic behaviors can be optimized well by adjusting the size and shape. Herein, the controllable synthesis of web-footed PdCu nanosheets via a facile surfactant-free method is reported. It is discovered that the Cu(II) precursor in this synthetic system displays a critical role in growing branches along the lateral of nanosheets. This work demonstrates a Pd-based alloy nanoarchitecture for efficient and stable electrocatalysis of both ethanal and formic acid oxidation reactions.

By virtue of theory studies, we find that Pd-Au bridges have superior adsorption ability towards HCOO* and oxygen vacancies in MnOx make HCOO* formation from HCOOH easier, synergistically lead to the outstanding FAO performance with specific activity and mass activity of 19.0 mA cm-2 and 4539 mA mg-1Pd+Au respectively, which are 2.6 times and 3.5 times higher than commercial Pd/C. This work shed some light toward development of high-performance Pd-based electrocatalysts for FAO.
