Abstract
Nanosprings demonstrate promising mechanical characteristics, positioning them as pivotal components in a diverse array of potential nanoengineering applications. To unlock the full potential of these nanosprings, ongoing research is concentrated on emulating springs at the nanoscale in terms of both morphology and function. This review underscores recent advancements in the field and provides a comprehensive overview of the diverse methods employed for nanospring preparation. Understanding the general mechanism behind nanospring formation lays the groundwork for the informed design of nanosprings. The synthesis section delineates four prominent methods employed for nanospring fabrication: vapor phase synthesis, templating methods, post-treatment techniques, and molecular engineering. Each method is critically analyzed, highlighting its strengths, limitations, and potential for scalability. Mechanical properties of nanosprings are explored in depth, discussing their response to external stimuli and their potential applications in various fields such as sensing, energy storage, and biomedical engineering. The interplay between nanospring morphology and mechanical behavior is elucidated, providing insights into the design principles for tailored functionality. Additionally, we anticipate that the evolution of state-of-the-art characterization tools, such as in situ transmission electron microscopy, 3D electron tomography, and machine learning, will significantly contribute to both the study of nanospring mechanisms and their applications.

Abstract
Introducing CeO2 into Pd-based nanocatalysts for electrocatalytic reactions is a good way to solve the intermediate toxicity problem and improve the catalytic performance. Here we reported a simple strategy to synthesize the PdCuAg and CeO2 nanowires hybrid via a one-pot synthesis process under strong nanoconfined effect of specific surfactant as templates. Owing to the structural (ultrathin nanowires, abundant heterojunction/interfaces between metal and metal oxide) and compositional (Pd, Cu, Ag, CeO2) advantages, the hybrid showed significantly enhanced catalytic activity (6.06 A mgPd -1) and stability, accelerated reaction rate, and reduced activation energy toward electrocatalytic ethylene glycol oxidation reaction.

Abstract
Considering the structural and compositional advantages of high-entropy alloy (HEA) as high-efficient electrocatalysts, we here present a facile method to prepare high-entropy alloy nanowires with seven elements in an aqueous solution. The as-synthesized PdPtCuAgAuPbCo nanowires possess dispersed one-dimensional morphology and exhibit enhanced electrocatalytic performance with the mass activity of 9.9 A mgPd+Pt -1 toward ethanol electrooxidation. The HEA nanowires also perform superior stability, resistance to CO poisoning, and good electrocatalytic activities toward other alcohols (e. g., ethylene glycol and methanol) oxidation. The synthesis strategy is easy to operate with low cost and has wide application prospects for preparing desired electrocatalysts for fuel cells.

Abstract
Noble metal-based nanomaterials possess outstanding catalytic properties in various chemical reactions. However, the increasing cost of noble metals severely hinders their large-scale applications. A cost-effective strategy is incorporating noble metals with light nonmetal elements (e.g., H, B, C, N, P and S) to form noble metal-based nanocompounds, which can not only reduce the noble metal content, but also promote their catalytic performances by tuning their crystal lattices and introducing additional active sites. In this review, we present a concise overview of the recent advancements in the preparation and application of various kinds of noble metal-light nonmetal binary nanocompounds. Besides introducing synthetic strategies, we focus on the effects of introducing light nonmetal elements on the lattice structures of noble metals and highlight notable progress in the lattice strain engineering of representative core-shell nanostructures derived from these nanocompounds. In the meantime, the catalytic applications of the light element-incorporated noble metal-based nanomaterials are discussed. Finally, we discuss current challenges and future perspectives in the development of noble metal-nonmetal based nanomaterials.

Abstract
Introducing nonmetal and oxophilic metal into palladium (Pd)-based catalysts is beneficial for boosting electrocatalysis, especially regarding the improvement of mass activity (MA) and CO tolerance. Herein, the stable bismuth-doped palladium hydride (Bi/PdH) networks have been successfully fabricated through a simple one-step method. The intercalation of interstitial H atoms expands the lattice of Pd, and the doping of oxophilic metal Bi restrains the adsorption of poisonous intermediates on the surface of Pd, thereby improving the activity and durability of the as-prepared catalysts in the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR). The obtained Bi/PdH networks manifest a remarkable MA of 8.51 A·mgPd-1, which is 11.18 times higher than that of commercial Pd/C (0.76 A·mgPd-1). The CO-stripping analysis results indicate that Bi doping can significantly prohibit CO adsorption on the surface of the Bi/PdH networks. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations also reveal that Bi doping enhances the OH* adsorption on the catalyst surface and mitigates the interaction between Pd and CO* intermediates, providing deeper insights into the origin of the enhanced EOR activity and CO tolerance. This work describes an impactful path for producing high-performance and durable PdH-based nanocatalysts.

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
Pd-based catalysts are attractive anodic electrocatalysts for direct methanol fuel cells owing to their low cost and natural abundance. However, they suffer from sluggish reaction kinetic and insufficient electroactivity in methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). In this work, we developed a facile one-pot approach to fabricate low Pt-doped Pd12P3.2 nanowires with crystalline/amorphous heterophase (termed Pt-Pd12P3.2 NWs) for MOR. The unique crystalline/amorphous heterophase structures promote the catalytic activity by the plentiful active sites at the phase boundaries and/or interfaces and the synergistic effect between different phases. Moreover, the incorporation of trace Pt into Pd lattices modifies the electronic structure and improves the electron transfer ability. Therefore, the obtained Pt-Pd12P3.2 NWs display significantly enhanced electrocatalytic performance toward MOR with the mass activity of 2.35 A mgPd+Pt-1, which is 9.0, 2.9, and 2.0 times higher than those of the commercial Pd/C (0.26 A mgPd-1), Pd12P3.2 NWs (0.82 A mgPd-1), and commercial Pt/C (1.19 A mgPt-1). The high mass activity enables the Pt-Pd12P3.2 NWs to be the promising Pd-based catalysts for MOR.

Abstract
Palladium (Pd)-based nanomaterials have been identified as potential candidates for various types of electrocatalytic reaction, but most of them typically exhibit unsatisfactory performances. Recently, extensive theoretical and experimental studies have demonstrated that the interstitial/substitutional modification of Pd-based nanomaterials with nonmetallic atoms (H, B, C, N, P, S) has a significant impact on their electronic structure and thus leads to the rapid development of one kind of promising catalyst for various electrochemical reactions. Considering the remarkable progress in this area, we highlight the most recent progress regarding the innovative synthesis and advanced characterization methods of nonmetallic atom-doped Pd-based nanomaterials and provide insights into their electrochemical applications. What's more, the unique structure- and component-dependent electrochemical performance and the underlying mechanisms are also discussed. Furthermore, a brief conclusion about the recent progress achieved in this field as well as future perspectives and challenges are provided.

Abstract
Palladium (Pd)-based materials have been widely used as catalysts for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Unfortunately, the catalytic activity was limited by structure, carbon monoxide intermediates (COads) tolerance and stability. It was currently difficult to be used in large-scale commercial production. Herein, to further improve their electrocatalytic activity, a facile oxidation method to achieve in-situ oxidation of palladium-iridium (PdIr) alloy on nitrogen-doped graphene (NGS) is used, which is named as Pd-Ir-O/NGS. The new catalyst exhibits remarkable MOR activity (1374.8 mA mg-1), COads tolerance (the onset oxidation potential reach 0.725 V) and stability (the current density retention rate after 500 cycles of cyclic voltammetry is 44.9%). As a catalyst for MOR, the Pd-Ir-O/NGS has more outstanding electrocatalytic performance compared with commercial Pd/C and other counterparts. The mechanism study shows that the excellent catalytic performance is attributed to (1) the synergistic electronic effect of Pd-Ir-O due to the introduction of Ir and O, (2) the insertion of O into PdIr alloy that kinetically accelerated the oxidation of poisoning methoxy intermediates and (3) the vital roles of unique three-dimensional (3D) structure of NGS with abundant nitrogen atoms. Our findings herald a new paradigm for the modification of palladium-based materials for MOR and provide an alternative design principle for novel 3D carbon-based material for various application.
