Abstract
The advancement of highly efficient and enduring platinum (Pt)-based electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a critical determinant to enable broad utilization of clean energy conversion technologies. Pt-based intermetallic electrocatalysts offer durability and superior ORR activity over their traditional analogues due to their definite stoichiometry, ordered and extended structures, and favourable enthalpy of formation. With the advent in new synthetic methods, Pt-based intermetallic nanoparticles as a new class of advanced electrocatalysts have been studied extensively in recent years. This review discusses the preparation principles, representative preparation methods of Pt-based intermetallics and their applications in the ORR. Our review is focused on L10 Pt-based intermetallics which have gained tremendous interest recently due to their larger surface strain and enhanced M(3d)-Pt(5d) orbital coupling, particularly in the crystallographic c-axis direction. Additionally, we discuss future research directions to further improve the efficiency of Pt-based intermetallic electrocatalysts with the intention of stimulating increased research ventures in this domain.

Abstract
To find a low-Pt electrocatalyst that is functionally integrated and superior to the state-of-the-art single-Pt electrocatalyst is expectedly a challenge. We have in this study found that the reactivity of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR), in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes (viz., four half-cell reactions), can be modified and greatly enhanced by the electronic and/or synergistic effects of a low-Pt octahedral PtCuCo alloy. For the ORR, the mass activity (MA) of Pt0.23Cu0.64Co0.13/C in an acidic or alkaline electrolyte was 14.3 or 10.7 times that of the commercial Pt/C. For the MOR, the MA of Pt0.23Cu0.64Co0.13/C in an acidic or alkaline electrolyte was 7.2 or 3.4 times that of the commercial Pt/C. In addition, Pt0.23Cu0.64Co0.13/C exhibited an increased durability and CO tolerance, as compared with the commercial Pt/C. Density functional theory calculations demonstrated that the PtCuCo(111) surface can effectively optimize the O* binding energy. This work has successfully shown an example of how both acidic and alkaline ORR and MOR activities can be significantly synchronously enhanced.

Abstract
Structural modulation of the active site with atomic-level precision is of great importance to meet the activity and selectivity challenges that electrocatalysts are commonly facing. In this work, we have designed a metal (M)-nonmetal diatomic site embedded in graphene-like C2N (denoted as Mo-B@C2N), where the electrocatalytic N2 reduction reaction (eNRR) was thoroughly explored using density functional theory combined with the computational hydrogen electrode method. Compared to M-M diatomic sites, the Mo-B site can generate a pronounced synergistic effect that led to eNRR proceeding via a novel quasi-dissociative reaction mechanism that has not been reported relative to the conventional enzymatic, consecutive, distal, and alternating associative mechanism. This newly uncovered mechanism in which N-N bond scission takes place immediately after the first proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) step (i.e., *NH-*N + H+ + e- → *NH2*N) has demonstrated much advantage in the PCET process over the four conventional mechanism in terms of thermodynamic barrier, except that the adsorption of side-on *N2 seemed thermodynamically unfavorable (ΔGads = 0.61 eV). Our results have revealed that the activation of the inert N≡N triple bond is dominated by the π*-backdonation mechanism as a consequence of charge transfers from both the B and Mo sites and, unexpectedly, from the substrate C2N itself as well. Moreover, the hybrid Mo-B diatomic site demonstrated superior performance over either the Mo-Mo or B-B site for driving eNRR. Our study could provide insight into the delicate relationships among atomic site, substrate, and electrocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Internal Ni-vacancy-enriched spherical AuNi nanoalloys (AuNi1-2-T) have been prepared via a noble electrochemical etching method. AuNi1.5-T showed the highest oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity compared to bare AuNi1.5, and it demands only 239 mV overpotential, which was 134 mV lesser than the overpotential required by commercial RuO2 at 10 mA cm-2 current density in a 1 M KOH solution (pH = 14). The calculated turnover frequency (TOF) value for AuNi1.5-T (0.0229 s-1) was 11.74 times higher than that of AuNi1.5 (0.00195 s-1). Also, the electrochemically activated AuNi1.5-T showed superior neutral water oxidation activity by demanding only 335 mV overpotential with a TOF value of 0.000135 s-1 in a 1 M Na2SO4 solution (pH = 7) at 10 mA cm-2. The long-term stability studies (over 60 h) reveal the excellent robustness of an electrochemically treated alloy system. Density functional theory based electronic structure calculations showed that in the case of AuNi and AuNi1.5, Au d, Au s, and Ni d orbitals have significant contributions, whereas in the Ni-vacant systems, the density of states is mainly governed by d orbitals of Au and Ni. Also, the Ni-vacant system possesses a work function value of 4.96 eV, which is lower than that of the pristine system (5.27 eV) and thereby favored OH- binding with an optimum adsorption energy. This result is in reasonable agreement with the experimental outcome of an accelerated OER in a vacancy-enriched Ni-rich AuNi alloy system. Also, mechanistic analysis reveals that the creation of a Ni vacancy can effectively alter the overall mechanism of the OER and thereby facilitate the same with a lower applied energy.

Abstract
Exploring the format of active site is essential to further the understanding of an electrocatalyst working under ambient conditions. Herein, we present a DFT study of electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction (eNRR) on W4tetrahedron embedded in graphene-like C2N (denoted as W4@C2N). Our results demonstrate that N-affinity of active sites on W4dominate over single-atom site, rendering *NH2 + (H+ + e-) →*NH3invariably the potential-determining step (PDS) of eNRR via consecutive or distal route (UL = -0.68 V) to ammonia formation. However, *NHNH2 + (H+ + e-) →*NH2NH2has become the PDS (UL = -0.54 V) via enzymatic route towards NH2NH2formation and thereafter desorption, making W4@C2N a potentially promising catalyst for hydrazine production from eNRR. Furthermore, eNRR is competitive with hydrogen evolution reaction (UL = -0.78 V) on W4@C2N, which demonstrated sufficient thermal stability and electric property for electrode application.

Abstract
The *NHx intermediates on Mn@C2N are highly stable for n = 3 and unstable for n = 1, rendering Mn@C2N as the optimal candidate for driving the eNRR owing to its moderate binding with NHx (x = 0, 1, 2, 3).

Abstract
Bimetallic alloys have attracted considerable attention due to the tunable catalytic activity and selectivity that can be different from those of pure metals. Here, we study the superior catalytic behaviors of the Pt3Ni nanowire (NW) over each individual, Pt and Ni NWs during the reverse Water Gas Shift (rWGS) reaction, using density functional theory. The results show that the promoted rWGS activity by Pt3Ni strongly depends on the ensemble effect (a particular arrangement of active sites introduced by alloying), while the contributions from ligand and strain effects, which are of great importance in electrocatalysis, are rather subtle. As a result, a unique Ni-Pt hybrid ensemble is observed at the 110/111 edge of the Pt3Ni NW, where the synergy between Ni and Pt sites is active enough to stabilize carbon dioxide on the surface readily for the rWGS reaction but moderate enough to allow for the facile removal of carbon monoxide and hydrogenation of hydroxyl species. Our study highlights the importance of the ensemble effect in heterogeneous catalysis of metal alloys, enabling selective binding-tuning and promotion of catalytic activity.

Abstract
Although much attention has been paid to the exploration of highly active electrocatalysts, especially catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), the development of multifunctional catalysts remains a challenge. Here, we utilize AuNi heterodimers as the starting materials to achieve high activities toward HER, OER and ORR. The HER and ORR activities in an alkali environment are similar to those of Pt catalysts, and the OER activity is very high and better than that of commercial IrO2 . Both the experimental and calculated results suggest that the surface oxidation under oxidative conditions is the main reason for the different activities. The NiO/Ni interface which exists in the as-synthesized heterodimers contributes to high HER activity, the Ni(OH)2 -Ni-Au interface and the surface Ni(OH)2 obtained in electrochemical conditons gives rise to promising ORR and OER activities, respectively. As a comparison, a Au@Ni core-shell structure is also synthesized and examined. The core-shell structure shows lower activities for HER and OER than the heterodimers, and reduces O2 selectively to H2 O2 . The work here allows for the development of a method to design multifunctional catalysts via the partial oxidation of a metal surface to create different active centers.
