Abstract
Analogous to thermal ablation techniques in clinical settings, cell necrosis induced during tumor photothermal therapy (PTT) can provoke an inflammatory response that is detrimental to the treatment of tumors. In this study, we employed a straightforward one-step liquid-phase reduction process to synthesize uniform RhRe nanozymes with an average hydrodynamic size of 41.7 nm for non-inflammatory photothermal therapy. The obtained RhRe nanozymes showed efficient near-infrared (NIR) light absorption for effective PTT, coupled with a remarkable capability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) for anti-inflammatory treatment. After laser irradiation, the 4T1 tumors were effectively ablated without obvious tumor recurrence within 14 days, along with no obvious increase in pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Notably, these RhRe nanozymes demonstrated high biocompatibility with normal cells and tissues, both in vitro and in vivo, as evidenced by the lack of significant toxicity in female BALB/c mice treated with 10 mg/kg of RhRe nanozymes over a 14 day period. This research highlights RhRe alloy nanoparticles as bioactive nanozymes for non-inflammatory PTT in tumor therapy.

Abstract
Trimetallic nanowires (NWs) have drawn much attention in efficient alcohol oxidation reaction (AOR) due to their unique features, including high atomic utilization efficiency and fast electron transfer ability. However, a universal strategy to synthesize Pd-based trimetallic NWs with high catalytic performance is still lacking. Herein, we develop a universal method for facile synthesis of PdBiM (M = Pt, Ru, Ir, Co, Cu) NWs with excellent AOR activities. By taking PdBiPt NWs as an example, the formation mechanism was investigated, and it is found that introduction of bismuth (Bi) plays an important role in facilitating the formation of the NW structure. Moreover, the PdBiPt NWs deliver an outstanding performance toward both the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) and the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations together with experimental results disclose that the moderate electronic structure of trimetallic PdBiPt NWs can optimize the adsorption of OHads and weaken the adsorption of COads, thereby leading to the substantially enhanced AOR performance. We believe that this work can inspire the design of multimetallic NWs as high-performance catalysts.

Abstract
Low-temperature fuel cells have great application potential in electric vehicles and portable electronic devices, which need advanced electrocatalysts. Controlling the composition and morphology of electrocatalysts can effectively improve their catalytic performance. In this work, a Rh metallene (Rhlene)-supported Pt nanoparticle (Pt/Rhlene) electrocatalyst is successfully synthesized by a simple chemical reduction method, in which ultra-small Pt nanoparticles are uniformly attached to the Rhlene surface due to the high surface area of Rhlene. Pt/Rhlene reveals a 3.60-fold Pt-mass activity enhancement for the ethylene glycol oxidation reaction in alkaline solution compared with commercial Pt black, and maintains high stability and excellent poisoning-tolerance during electrocatalysis, owing to the specific physical/chemical properties of Rhlene. The superior electrocatalytic performance of Pt/Rhlene may open an avenue to synthesize other metallene-supported noble metal nanoparticle hybrids for various electrocatalytic applications.

Abstract
Nanocrystals offer a unique platform for tailoring the physicochemical properties of solid materials to enhance their performances in various applications. While most work on controlling their shapes revolves around symmetrical growth, the introduction of asymmetrical growth and thus symmetry breaking has also emerged as a powerful route to enrich metal nanocrystals with new shapes and complex morphologies as well as unprecedented properties and functionalities. The success of this route critically relies on our ability to lift the confinement on symmetry by the underlying unit cell of the crystal structure and/or the initial seed in a systematic manner. This Review aims to provide an account of recent progress in understanding and controlling asymmetrical growth and symmetry breaking in a colloidal synthesis of noble-metal nanocrystals. With a touch on both the nucleation and growth steps, we discuss a number of methods capable of generating seeds with diverse symmetry while achieving asymmetrical growth for mono-, bi-, and multimetallic systems. We then showcase a variety of symmetry-broken nanocrystals that have been reported, together with insights into their growth mechanisms. We also highlight their properties and applications and conclude with perspectives on future directions in developing this class of nanomaterials. It is hoped that the concepts and existing challenges outlined in this Review will drive further research into understanding and controlling the symmetry breaking process.

Abstract
In the past few decades, Pt-based electrocatalysts have attracted great interests due to their high catalytic performances toward the direct alcohol fuel cell (DAFC). However, the high cost, poor stability, and the scarcity of Pt have markedly hindered their large-scale utilization in commerce. Therefore, enhancing the activity and durability of Pt-based electrocatalysts, reducing the Pt amount and thus the cost of DAFC have become the keys for their practical applications. In this minireview, we summarized some basic concepts to evaluate the catalytic performances in electrocatalytic alcohol oxidation reaction (AOR) including electrochemical active surface area, activity and stability, the effective approaches for boosting the catalytic AOR performance involving size decrease, structure and morphology modulation, composition effect, catalyst supports, and assistance under other external energies. Furthermore, we also presented the remaining challenges of the Pt-based electrocatalysts to achieve the fabrication of a real DAFC.

Abstract
Pd- and Pd-based catalysts have emerged as potential alternatives to Pt- and Pt-based catalysts for numerous electrocatalytic reactions, particularly fuel cell-related reactions, including the anodic fuel oxidation reaction (FOR) and cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The creation of Pd- and Pd-based architectures with large surface areas, numerous low-coordinated atoms, and high density of defects and edges is the most promising strategy for improving the electrocatalytic performance of fuel cells. Recently, 2D Pd-based nanomaterials with single or few atom thickness have attracted increasing interest as potential candidates for both the ORR and FOR, owing to their remarkable advantages, including high intrinsic activity, high electron mobility, and straightforward surface functionalization. In this review, the recent advances in 2D Pd-based nanomaterials for the FOR and ORR are summarized. A fundamental understanding of the FOR and ORR is elaborated. Subsequently, the advantages and latest advances in 2D Pd-based nanomaterials for the FOR and ORR are scientifically and systematically summarized. A systematic discussion of the synthesis methods is also included which should guide researchers toward more efficient 2D Pd-based electrocatalysts. Lastly, the future outlook and trends in the development of 2D Pd-based nanomaterials toward fuel cell development are also presented.

Abstract
Palladium-based bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) have been studied as important electrocatalysts for energy conversion due to their high electrocatalytic performance and the less usage of the noble metal. Herein, well-dispersed PdAg NPs with uniform size were prepared via oil bath accompanied with the hydrothermal method. The variation of the Ag content in PdAg NPs changed the lattice constant of the face-centered cubic alloy nanostructures continuously. The Pd/Ag molar ratio in the PdAg alloy NPs affected their size and catalytic activity toward ethanol electrooxidation. Experimental data showed that PdAg NPs with less Ag content exhibited better electrocatalytic activity and durability than pure Pd NPs owing to both the small size and the synergistic effect. PdAg-acac-4 with the Pd/Ag molar ratio of 4 : 1 in the start system possessed the highest catalytic current density of 2246 mA/mg for the electrooxidation of ethanol. The differences in the morphology and electrocatalytic activity of the as-made PdAg NPs have been discussed and analyzed.

Abstract
Designing Pt-based alloy catalysts with multicomponent composition and a controllable structure is important to improve the utilization efficiency of precious metals and catalytic activity, but it still face a lot of challenges for simple preparation. Herein, we used insulin amyloid fibrils as templates and their own one-dimensional spiral structure to synthesize Pt-Rh-Pd ternary alloy nanochains under mild conditions. The prepared Pt-Rh-Pd alloy nanochains (NCs) have uniform diameter, and the particle size is only 2 nm. This ultrafine structure increases the specific surface area of the catalyst to a certain extent, and the synergistic effect of the three metals improves the catalytic performance. Compared with commercial Pt/C and binary Pt-Rh NCs, the as-presented Pt-Rh-Pd NCs show better methanol oxidation activity ability and stability against CO poisoning. The peak current density of front sweep is 1.48 mA cm-2, which is 1.7 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C (0.89 mA cm-2) and 1.4 times higher than that of the Pt-Rh NCs (1.07 mA cm-2), indicating great application potential as high-performance electrocatalysts in fuel cells.

Abstract
One-dimensional (1D) Pt-based nanowires (NWs) materials serve as efficient catalysts for alcohol electrocatalysis. However, precisely tailoring their size towards sub-one-nanometer scale has been verified as an effective method for enhancing electrocatalytic properties, which is rarely studied. In this work, we developed a one-pot simple yet efficient method for synthesizing a kind of sub-one-nanometer tiny Ir-doped PtMn NWs. The prepared PtMnIr NWs have an ultrathin structure with a mean diameter of around only 0.97 nm (about 3-5 atomic thickness), which display large surface areas and promote superficial Pt atom utilization. With the robust tiny Ir incorporation, the composition-optimized Pt74Mn21Ir5 NWs showed enhanced mass activity, which was 1.51 and 1.53 times higher than those of non-Ir-doped Pt79Mn21 NWs for acidic ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) and methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Moreover, benefiting from the atom-level ultrathin size and well-tuned ligand effect from Ir to PtMn, the EOR/MOR mass activities of sub-nanometric Pt74Mn21Ir5 NWs were 3.99- and 3.98-fold higher than those of Pt/C catalysts. More importantly, after successive EOR and MOR CV tests, the Ir-doped PtMn NWs still maintained 85.6% and 73.4% of the initial mass activity, which were much better than those of Pt79Mn21 NWs, Pt NWs, and Pt/C catalysts. This work could be extended to engineering other advanced materials with super sub-one-nanometer structure, which is beneficial for largely improving the catalytic performance.

The Ethanol Oxidation Reaction Performance of Carbon-Supported PtRuRh Nanorods. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2020.

Abstract
In this study, carbon-supported Pt-based catalysts, including PtRu, PtRh, and PtRuRh nanorods (NRs), were prepared by the formic acid reduction method for ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) application. The aspect ratio of all experimental NRs is 4.6. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and H2-temperature-programmed reduction results confirm that the ternary PtRuRh has oxygen-containing species (OCS), including PtOx, RuOx and RhOx, on its surface and shows high EOR current density at 0.6 V. The corresponding physical structure results indicate that the surface OCS can enhance the adsorption of ethanol through bi-functional mechanism and thereby promote the EOR activity. On the other hand, the chronoamperometry (CA) results imply that the ternary PtRuRh has the highest mass activity, specific activity, and stability among all catalysts. The aforementioned pieces of evidence reveal that the presence of OCS facilitates the oxidation of adsorbed intermediates, such as CO or CHx, which prevents the Pt active sites from poisoning and thus simultaneously improves the current density and durability of PtRuRh NRs in EOR.

Abstract
Owing to their intrinsically high activity and rich active sites on the surface, noble metal materials with an ultrathin two-dimensional nanosheet structure are emerging as ideal catalysts for boosting fuel cell reactions. However, the realization of controllable synthesis of multimetallic Pd-based alloy ultrathin nanosheets (NSs) for achieving enhanced electrocatalysis evolved from compositional and structural advantages remains a grand challenge. Herein, we report a universal method for the construction of a new series of the three-dimensional (3D) multimetallic PdCuM (M = Ru, Rh, Ir) superstructures that consist of ultrathin alloy NSs. Different from the conventional 2D ultrathin nanostructure, the 3D PdCuM NSs that endowed with abundant routes for fast mass transport, high noble material utilization efficiency, and ligand effect from M to PdCu display large promotion in electrocatalytic performance for the methanol oxidation reaction. Impressively, the composition-optimized Pd59Cu33Ru8 NSs, Pd57Cu34Rh9 NSs, and Pd63Cu29Ir8 NSs show the mass activities of 1660.8, 1184.4, and 1554.8 mA mg-1 in alkaline media, which are 4.9, 3.5, and 4.6-fold larger than that of commercial Pd/C, respectively. More importantly, all of the PdCuM NSs are also very stable for long-term electrochemical tests.

Abstract
Designing and elaborating cost-efficient Pd-based electrocatalysts for direct ethanol fuel cells is thought to be a significant approach to obliterating the challenge of large-scale practical application of fuel cells. Herein, our group creates a novel class of one-dimensional (1D) PdRhTe nanotubes (NTs) by using H2PdCl4 and RhCl3 as metal precursors and Te nanowires (NWs) as the reductant and sacrificial template. Strikingly, the as-obtained PdRhTe ternary nanomaterials with a unique 1D nanotube structure display a high specific activity of 6.53 mA cm-2 and a mass activity of 2039.2 mA mg-1 for the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) in alkaline media, which are 1.25 (1.6) and 1.77 (8.0) times those of PdTe/C and (Pd/C), respectively. More significantly, further electrochemical measurements such as CA and successive CV confirm that the optimized PdRhTe NTs display desirable durability and negligible activity decay. Taking advantage of physicochemical characterizations and electrochemical measurements, we reasonably reveal that the outstanding electrocatalytic performances are derived from the unique geometric structure and synergistic effect. The introduction of Rh facilitates the cleavage of C-C bonds, increasing the self-stability of PdRhTe NTs. In general terms, this work should provide new orientations to synthesize cost-efficient electrocatalysts by a sacrificial template method.

Abstract
Engineering robust electrocatalysts is always a key point in direct alcohol fuel cells. Catalysts with a one-dimension (1D) structure are well studied and considered as promising candidates among various catalysts in the past decades; however, the precise regulation on the surface structure of 1D nanomaterials is still a worthy subject. By creatively introducing a trimetallic nanoalloy, core@multishell structure, and 1D nanowire (NW) morphology, we have constructed a kind of novel spiny PtFePd@PtFe/Pt core@multishell 1D NW catalysts with PtFePd as the core and PtFe/Pt as the multishell on the basis of improving catalytic property. The composition-optimized Pt5FePd2 1D NWs display remarkable catalytic properties for ethanol oxidation reaction and methanol oxidation reaction, in which mass activities are 4.965 and 4.038 A mg-1, 4.6 and 5.0 and 4.0 and 9.2-fold higher than Pt/C and Pd/C catalysts. Furthermore, the obtained Pt5FePd2 NWs can also retain favorable stability after durability tests. The unique core@multishell structure, spiny 1D NWs with many steps and kinks, and interior electronic and synergistic effect all contribute to the advanced catalytic performance. The present work has rationally designed the novel 1D PtFePd@PtFe/Pt core@multishell NW catalysts and offered a meaningful guideline for the designing of high-performance electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Manipulating the space distribution states, exposed surfaces, and interfacial interactions of graphene-based nanomaterials is a key strategy for taking full advantage of graphene's characteristics. Herein, we report the in situ deposition of numerous ultrafine PdIr alloy nanowires (diameter of 1.8 nm) to predominately cover the entire surface of graphene (PdIr UNWs/WFG). The high density but low atom loading (8.6 at%) of PdIr nanowires gives rise to abundant edge atoms and a rough surface, which are beneficial for the full exposure of active sites. Meanwhile, the compact PdIr overlay provides strong surface tension to stretch the graphene wrinkles, thus averting the wrapping of active sites and ensuring structural uniformity. The PdIr UNWs/WFG are qualified as efficient and robust electrocatalysts in both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), affording 10 mA cm-2 at an HER overpotential of 23 mV and 10 mA cm-2 at an OER overpotential of 290 mV, respectively. The corresponding water electrolyzer requires a cell voltage of only 1.51 V to achieve a water-splitting current density of 10 mA cm-2. This simple and novel approach for studying the coordinated form, dispersion state, and interfacial tension is promising to be a versatile method for improving the properties of graphene-based nanomaterials.

Abstract
Fuel cells hold great promise for clean and sustainable energy, whereas their widespread commercialization strongly depends on the development of highly efficient and stable electrocatalysts. Herein, three-dimensional fluffy PtPd nanocorals (NCs) loaded on two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) supports were successfully achieved by a simple one-step strategy based on ultraviolet (UV) laser-excited photochemical reaction. As for alcohol oxidation reaction, the h-BN/PtPd NCs with unique nanoporous surface provide more enhanced electrocatalytic performances than many previous nanocatalysts, owing to abundant active sites and plentiful charge-transfer channels formed on high electrode-electrolyte contact area. Especially, the mass activity of h-BN/PtPd NCs is about 962.8 mA mgPtPd -1 in methanol oxidation reaction in alkaline solution, which can be maintained at ∼274.9 mA mgPtPd -1 (28.6% of the initial one) even after a 5 × 104 s durability test. The present work not only offers an advanced electrocatalyst for long-term fuel cells but also provides a versatile route for construction of complex metallic nanocomposites on 2D supports, holding great potential for diverse energy-related applications.

Abstract
Pt-based nanoframes are one of the most promising catalysts for ethanol oxidation reaction in direct ethanol fuel cells. It is important to understand the mechanisms responsible for creating these hollow nanoframe-based catalysts. Herein, for the first time, Pt-skin PtRhNi rhombic dodecahedral nanoframes were decorated with small SnO2 nanoparticles and were used as an efficient catalyst for the ethanol oxidation reaction. Moreover, by combining the ex situ scanning transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy observations at various stages of synthesis, along with density functional theory calculations, it was possible to track the synthesis route of solid rhombic dodecahedral PtRhNi nanoparticles, which are the precursors of PtRhNi nanoframes. After the chemical etching of the Ni core from solid PtRhNi nanoparticles, the obtained nanoframes were decorated with SnO2 nanoparticles. The resulting SnO2@PtRhNi heteroaggregates were deposited on high-surface-area carbon and electrochemically tested, showing a 6-fold higher mass activity and 10-fold higher specific activity toward ethanol oxidation reaction than commercially available Pt catalysts.

Abstract
The use of ethanol as a fuel in direct alcohol fuel cells depends not only on its ease of production from renewable sources, but also on overcoming the challenges of storage and transportation. In an ethanol-based fuel cell, highly active electrocatalysts are required to break the C-C bond in ethanol for its complete oxidation at lower overpotentials, with the aim of increasing the cell performance, ethanol conversion rates, and fuel efficiency. In recent decades, the development of wet-chemistry methods has stimulated research into catalyst design, reactivity tailoring, and mechanistic investigations, and thus, created great opportunities to achieve efficient oxidation of ethanol. In this Minireview, the nanomaterials tested as electrocatalysts for the ethanol oxidation reaction in acid or alkaline environments are summarized. The focus is mainly on nanomaterials synthesized by using wet-chemistry methods, with particular attention on the relationship between the chemical and physical characteristics of the catalysts, for example, catalyst composition, morphology, structure, degree of alloying, presence of oxides or supports, and their activity for ethanol electro-oxidation. As potential alternatives to noble metals, non-noble-metal catalysts for ethanol oxidation are also briefly reviewed. Insights into further enhancing the catalytic performance through the design of efficient electrocatalysts are also provided.

Abstract
Developing an efficient electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) working in both acidic and alkaline solutions is highly desirable, but still remains challenging. Here, Ptx Ni ultrathin nanowires (NWs) with tunable compositions (x = 1.42, 3.21, 5.67) are in situ grown on MXenes (Ti3 C2 nanosheets), serving as electrocatalysts toward HER. Such Ptx Ni@Ti3 C2 electrocatalysts exhibit excellent HER performance in both acidic and alkaline solutions, with the Pt3.21 Ni@Ti3 C2 being the best one. Specifically, Pt3.21 Ni@Ti3 C2 achieves record-breaking performance in terms of lowest overpotential (18.55 mV) and smallest Tafel slope (13.37 mV dec-1 ) for HER in acidic media to date. Theory calculations and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses demonstrate that the coupling of MXenes with the NWs not only approaches the Gibbs free energy for hydrogen adsorption close to zero through the electron transfer between them in acidic media, but also provides additional active sites for water dissociation in alkaline solution, both of them being beneficial to the HER performance.

Abstract
The design of nanocatalysts by controlling pore size and particle characteristics is crucial to enhance the selectivity and activity of the catalysts. Thus, we have successfully demonstrated the synthesis of binary PdPb alloy nanocubes (PdPb NCs) by controlling pore size and particle characteristics. In addition, the as-obtained binary PdPb NCs exhibited superior electrocatalytic activity of 4.06 A mg-1 and 16.8 mA cm-2 toward ethylene glycol oxidation reaction and 2.22 A mg-1 and 9.2 mA cm-2 toward glycerol oxidation reaction when compared to the commercial Pd/C. These astonishing characteristics are attributed to the attractive nanocube structures as well as the large number of exposed active areas. Furthermore, the bifunctional effects originated from Pd and Pb interactions help to display high endurance with less activity decay after 500 cycles, showing a great potential in fuel cell applications.

Abstract
Precise fabrication of porous ternary Pt-based nanodendrites is very important for electrochemical energy conversion owing to high surface area and great molecular accessibility of these nanodendrites. Herein, PtPdRu porous nanodendrites (PNDs) were prepared via a facile one-step ultrasonic irradiation approach at room temperature. Intriguingly, the ultrasonic irradiation drove the formation of PtPdRu PNDs with spatially interconnected porous structures, whereas magnetic stirring produced PtPdRu nanoflowers (NFs) with less porosity. The formation mechanism was ascribed to the acoustic cavitation effect and fast-reduction kinetics under sonication. The as-made PtPdRu PNDs displayed a superior catalytic performance towards ethanol oxidation reaction with a high tolerance for CO-poisoning as compared to PtPdRu NFs, PtPd NDs, and commercial Pt/C catalyst.
