Abstract
Environmental pollution, food safety, and medical diagnostics pose severe threats to human health, making the development of effective detection technologies crucial. Electrochemical sensors, as an efficient detection method, are extensively employed in detecting environmental pollutants, food additives, and biomolecules. Pd-M bimetallic materials, known for their excellent electrocatalytic performance, are extensively utilized as electrode modification materials. Although earlier reviews have covered the sensing applications of bimetallic materials, they have not targeted discussed Pd-based bimetallic materials. This paper systematically summarizes the preparation methods of Pd-M bimetallic materials, explores their structural and morphological regulation, and elaborates on their recent applications in pesticide detection, environmental pollutant detection, food additive detection, drug detection, and biosensing. It enumerates the detection performance of various Pd-M bimetallic material-modified electrochemical sensors for the aforementioned analytes in detail, including specific modification materials, linear range, detection limits, and sensitivity parameters.

Abstract
We explore the novel photodecomposition capabilities of β-Ga2O3 when augmented with reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Employing real-time spectroscopy, this study unveils the sophisticated mechanisms of photodecomposition, identifying an optimal 1 wt% β-Ga2O3-rGO ratio that substantially elevates the degradation efficiency of Methylene Blue (MB). Our findings illuminate a direct relationship between the photocatalyst's composition and its performance, with the quantity of rGO synthesis notably influencing the catalyst's morphology and consequently, its photodegradation potency. The 1 wt% β-Ga2O3-rGO composition stands out in its class, showing a notable 4.7-fold increase in CO production over pristine β-Ga2O3 and achieving CO selectivity above 98%. This remarkable performance is a testament to the significant improvements rendered by our novel rGO integration technique. Such promising results highlight the potential of our custom-designed β-Ga2O3-rGO photocatalyst for critical environmental applications, representing a substantial leap forward in photocatalytic technology.

Abstract
Benefiting from the ultrahigh specific surface areas, massive exposed surface atoms, and highly tunable microstructures, the two-dimensional (2D) noble metal nanosheets (NSs) have presented promising performance for various electrocatalytic reactions. Nevertheless, the heteroatom doping strategy, and in particular, the electronic structure tuning mechanisms of the 2D noble metal catalysts (NMCs) yet remain ambiguous. Herein, we first review several effective strategies for modulating the electrocatalytic performance of 2D NMCs. Then, the electronic tuning effect of hetero-dopants for boosting the electrocatalytic properties of 2D NMCs is systematically discussed. Finally, we put forward current challenges in the field of 2D NMCs, and propose possible solutions, particularly from the perspective of the evolution of electron microscopy. This review attempts to establish an intrinsic correlation between the electronic structures and the catalytic properties, so as to provide a guideline for designing high-performance electrocatalysts.

Abstract
2D nanostructures of noble metals hold great potential for developing efficient electrocatalysts due to their high atom efficiency associated with their large specific surface area and abundant active sites. Here, we introduce a one-pot solvothermal synthesis method that can enable the fabrication of freestanding atomically thin Ir nanosheets. The thermal decomposition of a complex of Ir and a long-chain amine, which could readily be formed with the assistance of a strong base, under CO flow conditions successfully yielded Ir nanosheets consisting of 2-4 atomic layers. The prepared Ir nanosheets showed prominent activity and stability toward oxygen evolution electrocatalysis in acidic conditions, which can be attributed to their ultrathin 2D structure.

Abstract
Metallic nanorings (NRs) with open hollow structures are of particular interest in energy-related catalysis due to their unique features, which include the high utilization of active sites and facile accessibility for reactants. However, there is still a lack of general methods for synthesizing Pd-based multimetallic NRs with a high catalytic performance. Herein, we develop a template-directed strategy for the synthesis of ultrathin PdM (M = Bi, Sb, Pb, BiPb) NRs with a tunable size. Specifically, ultrathin Pd nanosheets (NSs) are used as a template to steer the deposition of M atoms and the interatomic diffusion between Pd and M, subsequently resulting in the hollow structured NRs. Taking the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) as a proof-of-concept application, the PdBi NRs deliver a substantially improved activity relative to the Pd NSs and commercial Pd/C catalysts, simultaneously showing outstanding stability and CO tolerance. Mechanistically, density functional theory (DFT) calculations disclose that the incorporation of Bi reduces the energy barrier of the rate-determining step in the EOR C2-path, which, together with the high ratio of exposed active sites, endows the PdBi NRs with an excellent EOR activity. We believe that our work can illuminate the general synthesis of multimetallic NRs and the rational design of advanced electrocatalysts.

Abstract
High-performance electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction are of interest in the development of next-generation sustainable hydrogen production systems. Although expensive platinum-group metals have been recognized as the most effective HER catalysts, there is an ongoing requirement for the discovery of cost-effective electrode materials. This paper reveals the prospects of two-dimensional (2D) noble metals, possessing a large surface area and a high density of active sites available for hydrogen proton adsorption, as promising catalytic materials for water splitting. An overview of the synthesis techniques is given. The advantages of wet chemistry approaches for the growth of 2D metals over deposition techniques show the potential for kinetic control that is required as a precondition to prevent isotropic growth. An uncontrolled presence of surfactant-related chemicals on a 2D metal surface is however the main disadvantage of kinetically controlled growth methods, which stimulates the development of surfactant-free synthesis approaches, especially template-assisted 2D metal growth on non-metallic substrates. Recent advances in the growth of 2D metals using a graphenized SiC platform are discussed. The existing works in the field of practical application of 2D noble metals for hydrogen evolution reaction are analyzed. This paper shows the technological viability of the "2D noble metals" concept for designing electrochemical electrodes and their implementation into future hydrogen production systems, thereby providing an inspirational background for further experimental and theoretical studies.

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
Combining a two-dimensional (2D) morphology and plasmonic photocatalysis represents an efficient design for light-driven organic transformations. We report a one-pot synthesis of surfactant templated PdAu nanosheets (NSs). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses show the formation of 2D PdAu structures was initiated through nanoparticle seeds dispersed in the alkyl ammonium salt surfactant which acted as a template for the growth into NSs. The PdAu NSs were used for visible-light-enhanced Suzuki cross coupling. The PdAu bimetallic NSs outperformed monometallic Pd NSs and commercial Pd/C in room-temperature Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. The high catalytic activity is attributed to a combination of the 2D morphology giving rise to plasmon-enhanced catalysis and a high density of surface atoms, the electron-rich Pd surface due to alloying, and the presence of weakly bound amines. A comparative study of surfactant-assisted NSs and CO-assisted NSs was also carried out to assess the influence of surface ligands on the catalytic and photocatalytic enhancement of NSs with similar morphology. The surfactant-assisted NSs showed substantially superior performance compared to the CO-assisted for room-temperature Suzuki coupling reactions.

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of CO2 into valuable fuels and chemicals is a promising route of replacing fossil fuels by reducing CO2 emissions and minimizing its adverse effects on the climate. Tremendous efforts have been carried out for designing efficient catalyst materials to selectively produce the desired product in high yield from CO2 by the electrochemical process. In this work, a strategy is reported to enhance the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (ECO2RR) by constructing an interface between a metal-based alloy (PdIn) nanoparticle and an oxide (In2O3), which was synthesized by a facile solution method. The oxide-derived PdIn surface has shown excellent eCO2RR activity and enhanced CO selectivity with a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 92.13% at -0.9 V (vs RHE). On the other hand, surface PdO formation due to charge transfer on the bare PdIn alloy reduces the CO2RR activity. With the support of in situ (EXAFS and IR) and ex situ (XPS, Raman) spectroscopic techniques, the optimum presence of the Pd-In-O interface has been identified as a crucial parameter for enhancing eCO2RR toward CO in a reducing atmosphere. The influence of eCO2RR duration is reported to affect the overall performance by switching the product selectivity from H2 (from water reduction) to CO (from eCO2RR) on the oxide-derived alloy surface. This work also succeeded in the multifold enhancement of the current density by employing the gas diffusion electrode (GDE) and optimizing its process parameters in a flow cell configuration.

Abstract
The development of cost-effective and efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts has found increasing popularity due to the sluggish kinetics of OER, which has hampered the H2 production by H2O electrolysis. In this study, Fe2Ni MIL-88 (denoted FeNi) was composited by reduced graphene oxide (rGO, denoted R). Owing to the high porosity and abundant active sites of bimetallic MOF, proper conductivity of rGO, and the synergistic impact of Ni and Fe, the optimal composite (R@FeNi (1:1)) offered remarkable OER activity in alkaline environments. The obtained composite was employed in the OER, which led to a low overpotential of 264 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 with a Tafel slope of 62 mV dec-1. Also, the bimetallic Fe2Ni MIL-88 nanorods grown on rGO led to a reduction in the onset potential of the OER. These findings exceeded the results of standard IrO2-based catalysts; they are also comparable or even better than the previously reported MOF-based catalysts.

Abstract
Low-dimensional noble-metal materials (LDNMs) with different structural advantages have been considered as the high-performance catalysts for C2 alcohol electrooxidation. However, it is still a great challenging to precisely construct nanomaterials with low-dimensional composite structure thus to take advantages of various dimension, especial without the surfactant participation. Most studies focus on the modulation of the single dimensional nanocatalysts, the correlation between electrocatalytic performances and low-dimension composite have been rarely reported. Herein, we engineered a simple one-step approach to design multi-low-dimensional PdPt nanomaterials by using different Pd precursors. The low-dimensional PdPt nanocrystals (NCs) composed of zero dimension (0D) dendrite-like nanoparticles and two dimension (2D) nanosheets were obtained by using Pd(OAc)2, and meanwhile the 2D PdPt nanosheet assemblies (NAs) were synthesized by the introduction of NaPdCl4. Specifically, benefitting from the unique low-dimension structures with fast electron/mass transfer, and optimized electronic and synergistic effect, the multi-low-dimensional 0D-2D PdPt NCs showed the highest ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR)/ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR) mass activities, which were much higher than 2D PdPt NAs. The 0D-2D PdPt NCs also exhibited the highest structural stability. Generally, this work could inspire more advanced designs for surfactant-free synthesis and promote the fundamental engineering on nanocatalysts with low-dimension composite structure for electrocatalytic fields.

Abstract
Through a two-way control of hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and hydrochloric acid (HCl), the PdCu nanoalloys with branched structures are synthesized in one step by hydrothermal reduction and used as electrocatalysts for formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR). In this two-way control strategy, the CTAB is used as a structure-oriented surfactant, while a certain amount of HCl is used to control the reaction kinetics for achieving gradual growth of multi-dendritic structures. The characterizations including scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) suggest that PdCu nanoalloys with unique multi-dendritic branches have favorable electronic structure and lattice strain for electrocatalyzing the oxidation of formic acid. In specific, among the electrocatalysts with different Pd/Cu ratios, the Pd1Cu1 branched nanoalloys have the largest electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) and the best performance for the FAOR. The catalytic activity of the Pd1Cu1 branched nanoalloys is 2.4 times that of commercial Pd black. After the chronoamperometry test, the Pd1Cu1 branched nanoalloys still maintain their original morphologies and higher current density than that of the commercial Pd black. In addition, in the CO-stripping tests, the initial oxidation potential and the oxidation peak potential of the PdCu branched nanoalloys for CO adsorption are lower than those of commercial Pd balck, evincing their better anti-poisoning performance.

Ultrathin PdCu alloy nanosheet-assembled 3D nanoflowers with high peroxidase-like activity toward colorimetric glucose detection. Mikrochim Acta 2021; 188:114. [PMID: 33677782 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-021-04776-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2020] [Accepted: 02/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
Enzyme-mimetic properties of nanomaterials can be efficiently tuned by controlling their size, composition, and structure. Here, ultrathin PdCu alloy nanosheet-assembled three-dimensional (3D) nanoflowers (Pd1Cux NAFs) with tunable surface composition are obtained via a generalized strategy. In presence of H2O2, the as-synthesized Pd1Cux NAFs can catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to the oxidized form of TMB (oxTMB) with a characteristic absorption peak at 652 nm. Interestingly, Pd1Cux NAFs show obviously composition-dependent peroxidase-like catalytic activities because of the synergistic interaction of nanoalloy. Additionally, different from 2D Pd nanosheets, the distinctive 3D superstructures are featured with rich approachable sites and proper layer spacing, which are in favor of fast mass transport and electron transfers during the catalytic process. Among the studied Pd1Cux NAFs, the Pd1Cu1.7 NAFs show the highest enzyme-like activities and can be successfully applied for the colorimetric detection of glucose with a low detection limit of 2.93 ± 0.53 μM. This work provides an efficient avenue to fabricate PdCu NAF nanozymes in biosensing toward glucose detection. Two-dimensional (2D) PdCu ultrathin nanosheet-assembled 3D nanoflowers (Pd1Cux NAFs) with tunable surface composition exhibit substantially enhanced intrinsic peroxidase-like catalytic activities. The Pd1Cu1.7 NAFs are successfully used as peroxidase mimic catalyst for the colorimetric detection of glucose with low detection limit of 2.93 μM.

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
Graphene-supported Palladium composites were prepared through irradiation of the mixture of K2C2O4, Pd and graphene oxide (GO) with UV light in the presence of ethylene glycol (EG). Since the two-dimensional sheet of GO has a huge surface area, the as-synthesized graphene supported Pd composites kept excellent catalytic activity. There is no reduction agents that were used in the process of synthesis of graphene supported Pd composites. The good yield of cinnamic acid could be obtained when using the as-synthesized graphene-supported Pd composites as a catalyst in the reaction of iodobenzene, acrylic acid and triethylamine in the water system. Furthermore, no obvious mass loss of catalyst could be observed when being used to catalyze the heck reaction multiple times.

Abstract
In recent years, various facile and low-cost methods have been developed for the synthesis of advanced nanostructured photocatalytic materials. These catalysts are required to mitigate the energy crisis, environmental deterioration, including water and air pollution. Among the various semiconductors explored, recently novel classes of polymeric graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4)-based heterogeneous photocatalysts have established much greater importance because of their unique physiochemical properties, large surface area, low price, and long service life, ease of synthesis, product scalability, controllable band gap properties, low toxicity, and high photocatalytic activity. The present comprehensive review focuses on recent achievements in a number of facile chemical synthesis methods for semiconducting polymeric carbon nitrides and their heterogeneous nanohybrids with various dopants, nanostructured metals, metal oxides, and nanocarbons, as well as the parameters influencing their physiochemical properties and photocatalytic efficiency, which are discussed with reference to various catalytic applications such as air (NOx) purification, wastewater treatment, hydrogen generation, CO2 reduction, and chemical transformation. The mechanisms for the superior photocatalytic activity of polymeric g-C3N4-based heterogeneous photocatalysts are also discussed. Finally, the challenges, prospects, and future directions for photocatalytic polymeric g-C3N4-based semiconducting materials are described.

Abstract
Electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction (ORR) reaction play an important role in renewable energy technologies, including fuel cells and metal-air batteries. However, development of cost effective catalyst with high activity remains a great challenge. In this feature article, a hybrid material combining ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is applied as an efficient oxygen reduction electrocatalyst. It is fabricated through a facile one-step hydrothermal method, in which the formation of ZnO NPs and the reduction of graphene oxide are accomplished simultaneously. Transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy profiles reveal the uniform distribution of ZnO NPs on rGO sheets. Cyclic voltammograms, rotating disk electrode and rotating ring disk electrode measurements demonstrate that the hierarchical ZnO/rGO hybrid nanomaterial exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity for ORR in alkaline medium, due to the high cathodic current density (9.21 × 10−5 mA/cm2), positive onset potential (−0.22 V), low H2O2 yield (less than 3%), and high electron transfer numbers (4e from O2 to H2O). The proposed catalyst is also compared with commercial Pt/C catalyst, comparable catalytic performance and better stability are obtained. It is expected that the ZnO/rGO hybrid could be used as promising non-precious metal cathode in alkaline fuel cells.
