Abstract
The chemical and physical properties of nanomaterials ultimately rely on their crystal structures, chemical compositions and distributions. In this paper, a series of AuCu bimetallic nanoparticles with well-defined architectures and variable compositions has been addressed to explore their thermal stability and thermally driven behavior by molecular dynamics simulations. By combination of energy and Lindemann criteria, the solid-liquid transition and its critical temperature were accurately identified. Meanwhile, atomic diffusion, bond order, and particle morphology were examined to shed light on thermodynamic evolution of the particles. Our results reveal that composition-dependent melting point of AuCu nanoparticles significantly departs from the Vegard's law prediction. Especially, chemically disordered (ordered) alloy nanoparticles exhibited markedly low (high) melting points in comparison with their unary counterparts, which should be attributed to enhancing (decreasing) atomic diffusivity in alloys. Furthermore, core-shell structures and heterostructures demonstrated a mode transition between the ordinary melting and the two-stage melting with varying Au content. AuCu alloyed nanoparticles presented the evolution tendency of chemical ordering from disorder to order before melting and then to disorder during melting. Additionally, as the temperature increases, the shape transformation was observed in AuCu nanoparticles with heterostructure or L10 structure owing to the difference in thermal expansion coefficients of elements and/or of crystalline orientations. Our findings advance the fundamental understanding on thermodynamic behavior and stability of metallic nanoparticles, offering theoretical insights for design and application of nanosized particles with tunable properties.

Abstract
Selective oxidative etching is one of the most effective ways to prepare hollow nanostructures and nanocrystals with specific exposed facets. The mechanism of selective etching in noble metal nanostructures mainly relies on the different reactivity of metal components and the distinct surface energy of multimetallic nanostructures. Recently, phase engineering of nanomaterials (PEN) offers new opportunities for the preparation of unique heterostructures, including heterophase nanostructures. However, the synthesis of hollow multimetallic nanostructures based on crystal-phase-selective etching has been rarely studied. Here, a crystal-phase-selective etching method is reported to selectively etch the unconventional 4H and 2H phases in the heterophase Au nanostructures. Due to the coating of Pt-based alloy and the crystal-phase-selective etching of 4H-Au in 4H/face-centered cubic (fcc) Au nanowires, the well-defined ladder-like Au@PtAg nanoframes are prepared. In addition, the 2H-Au in the fcc-2H-fcc Au nanorods and 2H/fcc Au nanosheets can also be selectively etched using the same method. As a proof-of-concept application, the ladder-like Au@PtAg nanoframes are used for the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic media, showing excellent performance that is comparable to the commercial Pt/C catalyst.

Abstract
Surface bio-engineering of polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) has emerged as a cornerstone in contemporary biomedical research, presenting a transformative avenue that can revolutionize diagnostics, therapies, and drug delivery systems. The approach involves integrating bioactive elements on the surfaces of PNPs, aiming to provide them with functionalities to enable precise, targeted, and favorable interactions with biological components within cellular environments. However, the full potential of surface bio-engineered PNPs in biomedicine is hampered by obstacles, including precise control over surface modifications, stability in biological environments, and lasting targeted interactions with cells or tissues. Concerns like scalability, reproducibility, and long-term safety also impede translation to clinical practice. In this review, these challenges in the context of recent breakthroughs in developing surface-biofunctionalized PNPs for various applications, from biosensing and bioimaging to targeted delivery of therapeutics are discussed. Particular attention is given to bonding mechanisms that underlie the attachment of bioactive moieties to PNP surfaces. The stability and efficacy of surface-bioengineered PNPs are critically reviewed in disease detection, diagnostics, and treatment, both in vitro and in vivo settings. Insights into existing challenges and limitations impeding progress are provided, and a forward-looking discussion on the field's future is presented. The paper concludes with recommendations to accelerate the clinical translation of surface bio-engineered PNPs.

Abstract
A trade-off of activity-selectivity exists in primary C-O hydrogenolysis of biomass-derived diols to secondary alcohols over bimetallic catalysts, especially the combination of noble metal and early transition metal in the metallic state and metal oxide state, respectively. Herein, the combination of high surface concentration of boron nitride (BN)-supported metals and the addition of Mo as third metal broke the trade-off. High yields (>50%) of secondary alcohols were obtained with robust productivity up to 25-fold based on Ir over Ir-Fe0.13-Mo0.08/BN (Ir = 20 wt %, Fe/Ir = 0.13, Mo/Ir = 0.08) than previously reported Ir-Fe catalysts. In contrast, simply increasing the loading amount of Ir-Fe catalysts or the addition of Mo species only enhanced the productivity by <2-4-fold. Various characterizations showed that large Ir loading enables the formation of condensed nanostructures (∼2 nm) on the BN support, which further alloy with Mo and Fe to form an face centred cubic (fcc)-type trimetallic alloy with surface enrichment of Fe. On the other hand, in Ir-Fe0.25-Mo0.08/BN with lower Ir (5 wt %) and lower Ir-based activity, the Mo species were rather bound on the support surface possibly as the MoBx state. These structures were formed by simple impregnation and reduction with H2 at the reaction temperature (453 K). The high activity of Ir-Fe0.13-Mo0.08/BN (20 wt % Ir) is derived from two aspects: (1) the formation of condensed nanostructures (∼2 nm) exposing more active sites and (2) alloying with Mo to modify the electronic state of Ir to enhance the H2 activation ability, as shown by the decreased Ea (82-84 → 67 kJ mol-1).

Abstract
Gold and silver nanoclusters (NCs) composed of <200 atoms are novel catalysts because their catalytic properties differ significantly from those of the corresponding bulk surface and can be dramatically tuned by the size (number of atoms). Doping with other metals is a promising approach for improving the catalytic performance of Au and Ag NCs. However, elucidation of the origin of the doping effects and optimization of the catalytic performance are hampered by the technical challenge of controlling the number and location of the dopants. In this regard, atomically precise Au or Ag (Au/Ag) NCs protected by ligands or polymers have recently emerged as an ideal platform because they allow regioselective substitution of single Au/Ag constituent atoms while retaining the size and morphology of the NC. Heterogeneous Au/Ag NC catalysts doped with a single atom can also be prepared by controlled calcination of ligand-protected NCs on solid supports. Comparison of thermal catalysis, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis between the single-atom-doped and undoped Au/Ag NCs has revealed that the single-atom doping effect can be attributed to an electronic or geometric origin, depending on the dopant element and position. This minireview summarizes the recent progress of the synthesis and catalytic application of single-atom-doped, atomically precise Au/Ag NC catalysts and provides future prospects for the rational development of active and selective metal NC catalysts.

Abstract
Globally, the textile industry contributes to pollution through accidental discharges or discharge of contaminated wastewater into waterways, significantly affecting water quality. These pollutants, including dye molecules, are environmental hazards for aquatic and terrestrial life. The field of visible light-mediated photocatalysis has experienced rapid growth, driven by the utilization of photocatalysts that can absorb low-energy visible light and effectively degrade dyes. In the present study, we report a simple method to controllably synthesize Fe2O3, ZnO, and ZnFe2O4 using the one-pot synthesis method. In the subsequent step, copper (Cu) was deposited on the surface of ZnFe2O4 (forming ZnFe2O4-Cu) using a facile, green, and cost-effective method. The synthesized samples were characterized using various techniques, including XRD, UV-Vis DRS, FT-IR, SEM-EDX, HR-TEM, XPS, PL, and BET analysis. These techniques were employed to investigate the composition, morphology, structure, and photophysical properties of as-prepared samples. The ZnFe2O4-Cu nanocomposite demonstrated efficient photocatalytic activity for degrading RhB dye pollutants under visible light. The photocatalyst was successfully reused for three consecutive cycles without significantly decreasing performance. Furthermore, during the study, the radical scavenging test emphasized the role of different radicals in the degradation of dye pollutants. This research has the potential to enable the efficient production of high-performance photocatalysts that can rapidly eliminate ecologically harmful dyes from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Ammonia, as an essential and economical fuel, is a key intermediate for the production of innumerable nitrogen-based compounds. Such compounds have found vast applications in the agricultural world, biological world (amino acids, proteins, and DNA), and various other chemical transformations. However, unlike other compounds, the decomposition of ammonia is widely recognized as an important step towards a safe and sustainable environment. Ammonia has been popularly recommended as a viable candidate for chemical storage because of its high hydrogen content. Although ruthenium (Ru) is considered an excellent catalyst for ammonia oxidation; however, its high cost and low abundance demand the utilization of cheaper, robust, and earth abundant catalyst. The present review article underlines the various ammonia decomposition methods with emphasis on the use of non-noble metals, such as iron, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, and several other carbides as well as nitride species. In this review, we have highlighted various advances in ammonia decomposition catalysts. The major challenges that persist in designing such catalysts and the future developments in the production of efficient materials for ammonia decomposition are also discussed.

Abstract
Furfural (FF: aldehyde derivable from lignocellulosic biomass) has been widely recognized as a versatile building block for eco-friendly and sustainable applications to reduce industrial reliance on fossil-fuel carbon sources. Hydrogenation of FF, in particular, is recognized as one of the most effective routes for producing various value-added chemicals (e.g., furfuryl alcohol and 2-methylfuran). The gas-phase FF hydrogenation reaction offers economic and environmental advantages over its liquid-phase counterpart in conversion efficiency, product selectivity, and kinetics. The operation of the former does not require high hydrogen pressures or hazardous solvents while not generating undesirable by-products (due to reduced selectivity toward the ring-opening reaction). In this context, the utility of noble and non-noble metal catalyst systems has been recognized for their potential to induce effective FF hydrogenation in the gas phase. The present review addresses current understandings and recent developments in research on gas-phase FF hydrogenation and the factors governing the performance of metal-based catalysts (e.g., materials and surface chemistry; conversion efficiency; product selectivity; and the mechanisms, pathways, and kinetics of the associated reactions). Current shortcomings and research avenues are also discussed to help establish a roadmap for future development of the gas-phase FF hydrogenation technology and associated disciplines. Overall, the present review is expected to offer much-needed insights into the scalability of metal-based catalytic systems for efficient FF hydrogenation in the gas phase.

Abstract
In this study, a trimetallic nanocomposite comprising Silver Copper-Nickel (Ag-Cu-Ni TNC) was synthesized and analysed for its efficiency in degrading benzene and benzopyrene, which has five fused benzene rings. Fabrication of trimetallic nanocomposites were characterized using UV spectroscopy, FTIR studies, SEM EDAX, and DLS results. XRD confirmed the cubic crystalline Fcc structure of Ag-Cu-Ni TNC. Photocatalytic degradation analysis revealed that Ag-Cu-Ni TNC has the efficient photocatalytic ability, and the optimum condition required for efficient degradation of benzene and benzopyrene was identified as 2 μg/mL of PAH molecule, 10 μg/mL of Ag-Cu-Ni TNC at pH 5, stirring time of 2 h placed under UV light. Based on these optimum conditions, kinetic and isotherm studies were performed, revealing that the adsorption of benzene and benzopyrene by Ag-Cu-Ni TNC fits well with the Pseudo-second order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm model. Thus, our study's adsorption of PAH molecule from aqueous solution takes place through chemisorption and involves heterogeneous adsorption phenomena.

Abstract
This article provides an in-depth analysis of various fabrication methods of bimetallic nanoparticles (BNP), including chemical, biological, and physical techniques. The review explores BNP's diverse uses, from well-known applications such as sensing water treatment and biomedical uses to less-studied areas like breath sensing for diabetes monitoring and hydrogen storage. It cites results from over 1000 researchers worldwide and >300 peer-reviewed articles. Additionally, the article discusses current trends, actionable recommendations, and the importance of synthetic analysis for industry players looking to optimize manufacturing techniques for specific applications. The article also evaluates the pros and cons of various fabrication methods, highlighting the potential of plant extract synthesis for mass production of capped BNPs. However, it warns that this method may not be suitable for certain applications requiring ligand-free surfaces. In contrast, physical methods like laser ablation offer better control and reactivity, especially for applications where ligand-free surfaces are critical. The report underscores the environmental benefits of plant extract synthesis compared to chemical methods that use hazardous chemicals and pose risks to extraction, production, and disposal. The article emphasizes the need for life cycle assessment (LCA) articles in the literature, given the growing volume of research on nanotechnology materials. This article caters to researchers at all stages and applies to various fields applying nanomaterials.

Abstract
A novel sandwich-type "on-off" electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for the determination of α(2,3)-sial-Gs was designed. Specifically, amino-functionalized porous silica nanoparticles (HPSNs-NH2) were first prepared and then decorated with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) to form HPSNs-NH2@Au NP nanocomposite, which exhibited a strong ability to enhance ECL intensity with K2S2O8 as co-reactant (signal-on) and could immobilize the target-specific binding molecules of maackia amurensis lectin (MAL). Additionally, AuPdPt trimetallic nanoparticles were prepared to serve as a quenched ECL signal indicator (signal-off) with the ability of capturing the target non-specific binding molecules of 3-aminophenylboronic acid (APBA) to form a signal label. The sandwich-type ECL biosensor was constructed based on the structure of MAL-α(2,3)-sial-Gs-APBA and achieved a determination toward α(2,3)-sial-Gs with a wide linear range from 1 fg mL-1 to 10 ng mL-1 and a low detection limit of 0.5 fg mL-1. Furthermore, the proposed ECL biosensor showed satisfactory selectivity, stability, and reproducibility for α(2,3)-sial-Gs determination.

Partial Chemicalization of Nanoscale Metals: An Intra-Material Transformative Approach for the Synthesis of Functional Colloidal Metal-Semiconductor Nanoheterostructures.

Abstract
Heterostructuring colloidal nanocrystals into multicomponent modular constructs, where domains of distinct metal and semiconductor phases are interconnected through bonding interfaces, is a consolidated approach to advanced breeds of solution-processable hybrid nanomaterials capable of expressing richly tunable and even entirely novel physical-chemical properties and functionalities. To meet the challenges posed by the wet-chemical synthesis of metal-semiconductor nanoheterostructures and to overcome some intrinsic limitations of available protocols, innovative transformative routes, based on the paradigm of partial chemicalization, have recently been devised within the framework of the standard seeded-growth scheme. These techniques involve regiospecific replacement reactions on preformed nanocrystal substrates, thus holding great synthetic potential for programmable configurational diversification. This review article illustrates achievements so far made in the elaboration of metal-semiconductor nanoheterostructures with tailored arrangements of their component modules by means of conversion pathways that leverage on spatially controlled partial chemicalization of mono- and bi-metallic seeds. The advantages and limitations of these approaches are discussed within the context of the most plausible mechanisms underlying the evolution of the nanoheterostructures in liquid media. Representative physical-chemical properties and applications of chemicalization-derived metal-semiconductor nanoheterostructures are emphasized. Finally, prospects for developments in the field are outlined.

Abstract
The galvanic replacement reaction (GRR) is recognized as a redox process where one metal undergoes oxidation by the ions of another metal possessing a higher reduction potential. This reaction takes place at the interface between a substrate and a solution containing metal ions. Utilizing metal or metal oxide as sacrificial templates enables the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles, oxide-metal composites, and mixed oxides through GRR. Growing evidence showed that GRR has a direct impact on surface structures and properties. This has generated significant interest in catalysis and opened up new horizons for the application of GRR in energy and chemical transformations. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the synthetic strategies utilizing GRR for the creation of catalytically active structures. It discusses the formation of alloys, intermetallic compounds, single atom alloys, metal-oxide composites, and mixed metal oxides with diverse nanostructures. Additionally, GRR serves as a postsynthesis method to modulate metal-oxide interfaces through the replacement of oxide domains. The review also outlines potential future directions in this field.

Abstract
Multimetallic alloys (MMAs) with various compositions enrich the materials library with increasing diversity and have received much attention in catalysis applications. However, precisely shaping MMAs in mesoporous nanostructures and mapping the distributions of multiple elements remain big challenge due to the different reduction kinetics of various metal precursors and the complexity of crystal growth. Here we design a one-pot wet-chemical reduction approach to synthesize core-shell motif PtPdRhRuCu mesoporous nanospheres (PtPdRhRuCu MMNs) using a diblock copolymer as the soft template. The PtPdRhRuCu MMNs feature adjustable compositions and exposed porous structures rich in highly entropic alloy sites. The formation processes of the mesoporous structures and the reduction and growth kinetics of different metal precursors of PtPdRhRuCu MMNs are revealed. The PtPdRhRuCu MMNs exhibit robust electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activities and low overpotentials of 10, 13, and 28 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline (1.0 M KOH), acidic (0.5 M H2SO4), and neutral (1.0 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS)) electrolytes, respectively. The accelerated kinetics of the HER in PtPdRhRuCu MMNs are derived from multiple compositions with synergistic interactions among various metal sites and mesoporous structures with excellent mass/electron transportation characteristics.

Abstract
Investigating the effect of nanomedicines on cancer cell behavior in three-dimensional (3D) platforms is beneficial for evaluating and developing novel antitumor nanomedicines in vitro. While the cytotoxicity of nanomedicines on cancer cells has been widely studied on two-dimensional flat surfaces, there is little work using 3D confinement to assess their effects. This study aims to address this gap by applying PEGylated paclitaxel nanoparticles (PEG-PTX NPs) for the first time to treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC43) cells in 3D confinement consisting of microwells with different sizes and a glass cover. The cytotoxicity of the small molecule drug paclitaxel (PTX) and PEG-PTX NPs was studied in microwells with sizes of 50 × 50, 100 × 100, and 150 × 150 μm2 both with and without a concealed top cover. The impact of microwell confinement with varying sizes and concealment on the cytotoxicity of PTX and PEG-PTX NPs was analyzed by assessing NPC43 cell viability, migration speed, and cell morphology following treatment. Overall, microwell isolation was found to suppress drug cytotoxicity, and differences were observed in the time-dependent effects of PTX and PEG-PTX NPs on NPC43 cells in isolated and concealed microenvironments. These results not only demonstrate the effect of 3D confinement on nanomedicine cytotoxicity and cell behaviors but also provide a novel method to screen anticancer drugs and evaluate cell behaviors in vitro.

Abstract
Megalibraries are centimeter-scale chips containing millions of materials synthesized in parallel using scanning probe lithography. As such, they stand to accelerate how materials are discovered for applications spanning catalysis, optics, and more. However, a long-standing challenge is the availability of substrates compatible with megalibrary synthesis, which limits the structural and functional design space that can be explored. To address this challenge, thermally removable polystyrene films were developed as universal substrate coatings that decouple lithography-enabled nanoparticle synthesis from the underlying substrate chemistry, thus providing consistent lithography parameters on diverse substrates. Multi-spray inking of the scanning probe arrays with polymer solutions containing metal salts allows patterning of >56 million nanoreactors designed to vary in composition and size. These are subsequently converted to inorganic nanoparticles via reductive thermal annealing, which also removes the polystyrene to deposit the megalibrary. Megalibraries with mono-, bi-, and trimetallic materials were synthesized, and nanoparticle size was controlled between 5 and 35 nm by modulating the lithography speed. Importantly, the polystyrene coating can be used on conventional substrates like Si/SiOx, as well as substrates typically more difficult to pattern on, such as glassy carbon, diamond, TiO2, BN, W, or SiC. Finally, high-throughput materials discovery is performed in the context of photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants using Au-Pd-Cu nanoparticle megalibraries on TiO2 substrates with 2,250,000 unique composition/size combinations. The megalibrary was screened within 1 h by developing fluorescent thin-film coatings on top of the megalibrary as proxies for catalytic turnover, revealing Au0.53Pd0.38Cu0.09-TiO2 as the most active photocatalyst composition.

Abstract
Nanomedicine plays a crucial role in the development of next-generation therapies. The use of nanoparticles as drug delivery platforms has become a major area of research in nanotechnology. To be effective, these nanoparticles must interact with desired drug molecules and release them at targeted sites. The design of these “nanoplatforms” typically includes a functional core, an organic coating with functional groups for drug binding, and the drugs or bioactive molecules themselves. However, by exploiting the coordination chemistry between organic molecules and transition metal centers, the self-assembly of drugs onto the nanoplatform surfaces can bypass the need for an organic coating, simplifying the materials synthesis process. In this perspective, we use gold-iron oxide nanoplatforms as examples and outline the prospects and challenges of using self-assembly to prepare drug-nanoparticle constructs. Through a case study on the binding of insulin on Au-dotted Fe3O4 nanoparticles, we demonstrate how a self-assembly system can be developed. This method can also be adapted to other combinations of transition metals, with the potential for scaling up. Furthermore, the self-assembly method can also be considered as a greener alternative to traditional methods, reducing the use of chemicals and solvents. In light of the current climate of environmental awareness, this shift towards sustainability in the pharmaceutical industry would be welcomed.

Abstract
Heterogeneous bimetallic catalysts have broad applications in industrial processes, but achieving a fundamental understanding on the nature of the active sites in bimetallic catalysts at the atomic and molecular level is very challenging due to the structural complexity of the bimetallic catalysts. Comparing the structural features and the catalytic performances of different bimetallic entities will favor the formation of a unified understanding of the structure-reactivity relationships in heterogeneous bimetallic catalysts and thereby facilitate the upgrading of the current bimetallic catalysts. In this review, we will discuss the geometric and electronic structures of three representative types of bimetallic catalysts (bimetallic binuclear sites, bimetallic nanoclusters, and nanoparticles) and then summarize the synthesis methodologies and characterization techniques for different bimetallic entities, with emphasis on the recent progress made in the past decade. The catalytic applications of supported bimetallic binuclear sites, bimetallic nanoclusters, and nanoparticles for a series of important reactions are discussed. Finally, we will discuss the future research directions of catalysis based on supported bimetallic catalysts and, more generally, the prospective developments of heterogeneous catalysis in both fundamental research and practical applications.

Abstract
Understanding the synergistic mechanism of multi-component alloys is crucial and challenging for overall water splitting. Herein, Ru-NiCo0.5-600 °C and Ru-Ni0.75Co with excellent electrocatalytic activity are designed and synthesized. The Ru-NiCo0.5-600 °C alloy exhibits remarkable HER activity with an overpotential of 42, 77 and 93 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline, acidic and neutral conditions, and the Ru-Ni0.75Co electrocatalyst presents outstanding OER activity with an overpotential of 176 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in 1.0 M KOH. The Ru-NiCo0.5-600 °C ||Ru-Ni0.75Co cell requires only 1.48 and 1.69 V to reach 10 and 100 mA cm-2 towards overall water splitting. A series of experiments reveal that the strong electronic coupling among Ru, Ni and Co regulates the electronic structure and enhances the intrinsic catalytic activity and stability of the as-synthesized Ru-NiCo electrocatalysts. Systematic experimental and theoretical results prove that Ni atoms act as the active sites of dissociating water, while Ru and Co are respectively the active centers of proton and hydroxyl adsorption for HER and OER. Our work provides a new perspective for profoundly understanding the synergistic effect of multi-component alloys towards water splitting.

Abstract
Crystallization plays a critical role in determining crystal size, purity and morphology. Therefore, uncovering the growth dynamics of nanoparticles (NPs) atomically is important for the controllable fabrication of nanocrystals with desired geometry and properties. Herein, we conducted in situ atomic-scale observations on the growth of Au nanorods (NRs) by particle attachment within an aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope (AC-TEM). The results show that the attachment of spherical colloidal Au NPs with a size of about 10 nm involves the formation and growth of neck-like (NL) structures, followed by five-fold twin intermediate states and total atomic rearrangement. The statistical analyses show that the length and diameter of Au NRs can be well regulated by the number of tip-to-tip Au NPs and the size of colloidal Au NPs, respectively. The results highlight five-fold twin-involved particle attachment in spherical Au NPs with a size of 3-14 nm, and provide insights into the fabrication of Au NRs using irradiation chemistry.

Abstract
Benefiting from both one-dimensional (1D) morphology and alloy composition, metal alloy nanowires have been exploited as advanced electrocatalysts in various electrochemical processes. In this review, the synthesis approaches for metal alloy nanowires are classified into two categories: direct syntheses and syntheses based on preformed 1D nanostructures. Ligand systems that are of critical importance to the formation of alloy nanowires are summarized and reviewed, together with the strategies imposed to achieve the co-reduction of different metals. Meanwhile, different scenarios that form alloy nanowires from pre-synthesized 1D nanostructures are compared and contrasted. In addition, the characterization and electrocatalytic applications of metal alloy nanowires are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are materials whose size is less than 100 nm. Because of their distinctive physical and chemical characteristics, nanoparticles have drawn considerable interest in a variety of fields. Biosynthesis of nanoparticles is a green and environmentally friendly technology, which requires fewer chemical reagents, precursors, and catalysts. There are various types of nanomaterials, out of which trimetallic nanoparticles are receiving considerable interest in recent years. Trimetallic nanoparticles possess unique catalytic, biomedical, antimicrobial, active food packaging, and sensing applications as compared to monometallic or bimetallic nanoparticles. Trimetallic nanoparticles are currently synthesized by various methods such as chemical reduction, microwave-assisted, thermal, precipitation, and so on. However, most of these chemical and physical methods are expensive and toxic to the environment. Biological synthesis is one of the promising methods, which includes the use of bacteria, plants, fungi, algae, waste biomass, etc., as reducing agents. Secondary metabolites present in the biological agents act as capping and reducing agents. Green trimetallic nanoparticles can be used for different applications such as anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, catalytic activity, etc. This review provides an overview of the synthesis of trimetallic nanoparticles using biological agents, and their applications in different areas such as anticancer, antimicrobial activity, drug delivery, catalytic activity, etc. Finally, current challenges, future prospects, and conclusions are highlighted.

Abstract
Activity, cost, and durability are the trinity of catalysis research for the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). While studies towards increasing activity and reducing cost of ORR catalysts have been carried out extensively, much effort is needed in durability investigation of highly active ORR catalysts. In this work, we examined the stability of a trimetallic PtPdCu catalyst that has demonstrated high activity and incredible durability during ORR using density functional theory (DFT) based computations. Specifically, we studied the processes of dissolution/deposition and diffusion between the surface and inner layer of Cu species of Pt20Pd20Cu60 catalysts at electrode potentials up to 1.2 V to understand their role towards stabilizing Pt20Pd20Cu60 catalysts. The results show there is a dynamic Cu surface composition range that is dictated by the interplay of the four processes, dissolution, deposition, diffusion from the surface to inner layer, and diffusion from the inner layer to the surface of Cu species, in the stability and observed oscillation of lattice constants of Cu-rich PtPdCu nanoalloys.

Abstract
Pressure has been a facile signal readout mode for developing point-of-care testing devices due to the attractive features of portability, accessibility, rapidity, and affordability. Herein, a pressure signal readout device was designed by integrating two homemade needle-type piezoresistive transducers, a controller for a thin-film piezoresistive sensor and a smartphone. Meanwhile, a bidirectional immunochromatographic test strip was designed as an immunoreaction platform for dual-analyte detection. Using PdCuPt nanoparticles with catalase-mimic activity as signal tags, the pressure signals triggered by catalyzed aerogenous reaction were monitored by the pressure signal readout device and read on a smartphone with the Bluetooth module. In this proof-of-principle work, imidacloprid and carbendazim were detected as model analytes. The dynamic ranges for quantitating imidacloprid and carbendazim are 20 pg mL-1 to 50 ng mL-1 and 50 pg mL-1 to 50 ng mL-1, respectively. The whole immunoassay process was completed within 16 min. The recovery values for imidacloprid and carbendazim spiked into herbal medicines are 82.0-110.0 and 84.0-116.0%, respectively, verifying its reliability for real sample detection. As the smartphone APP and controller for a thin-film piezoresistive sensor contain 12 signal channels, the system can be easily extended to meet the demand for high-throughput screening.

Abstract
The simultaneous presence of two active metal centres in diatomic catalysts (DACs) leads to the occurrence of specific interactions between active sites. Such interactions, referred to as long-range interactions (LRIs), play an important role in determining the rate and selectivity of a reaction. The optimal combination of metal centres must be determined to achieve the targeted efficiency. To date, various types of DACs have been synthesised and applied in electrochemistry. However, LRIs have not been systematically summarised. Herein, the regulation, mechanism, and electrocatalytic applications of LRIs are comprehensively summarised and discussed. In addition to the basic information above, the challenges, opportunities, and future development of LRIs in DACs are proposed in order to present an overall view and reference for future research.

Abstract
Single-atom alloys (SAAs) have drawn significant attention in recent years due to their excellent catalytic properties. Controlling the geometry and electronic structure of this type of localized catalytic active site is of fundamental and technological importance. Dual-atom alloys (DAAs) consisting of a heterometallic dimer embedded in the surface layer of a metal host would bring increased tunability and a larger active site, as compared to SAAs. Here, we use computational studies to show that DAAs allow tuning of the active site electronic structure and reactivity. Interestingly, combining two SAAs into a dual-atom site can result in molecular-like hybridization by virtue of the free-atom-like electronic d states exhibited by many SAAs. DAAs can inherit the weak d-d interaction between dopants and hosts from the constituent SAAs, but exhibit new electronic and reactive properties due to dopant-dopant interactions in the DAA. We identify many heterometallic DAAs that we predict to be more stable than either the constituent SAAs or homometallic dual-atom sites of each dopant. We also show how both electronic and ensemble effects can modify the strength of CO adsorption. Because of the molecular-like interactions that can occur, DAAs require a different approach for tuning chemical properties compared to what is used for previous classes of alloys. This work provides insights into the unique catalytic properties of DAAs, and opens up new possibilities for tailoring localized and well-defined catalytic active sites for optimal reaction pathways.

Abstract
Alloying has long been used as a promising methodology to improve the catalytic performance of metallic materials. In recent years, the field of alloy catalysis has made remarkable progress with the emergence of a variety of novel alloy materials and their functions. Therefore, a comprehensive disciplinary framework for catalytic chemistry of alloys that provides a cross-sectional understanding of the broad research field is in high demand. In this review, we provide a comprehensive classification of various alloy materials based on metallurgy, thermodynamics, and inorganic chemistry and summarize the roles of alloying in catalysis and its principles with a brief introduction of the historical background of this research field. Furthermore, we explain how each type of alloy can be used as a catalyst material and how to design a functional catalyst for the target reaction by introducing representative case studies. This review includes two approaches, namely, from materials and reactions, to provide a better understanding of the catalytic chemistry of alloys. Our review offers a perspective on this research field and can be used encyclopedically according to the readers' individual interests.
