Abstract
Electrocatalysis underpins the renewable electrochemical conversions for sustainability, which further replies on metallic nanocrystals as vital electrocatalysts. Intermetallic nanocrystals have been known to show distinct properties compared to their disordered counterparts, and been long explored for functional improvements. Tremendous progresses have been made in the past few years, with notable trend of more precise engineering down to an atomic level and the investigation transferring into more practical membrane electrode assembly (MEA), which motivates this timely review. After addressing the basic thermodynamic and kinetic fundamentals, we discuss classic and latest synthetic strategies that enable not only the formation of intermetallic phase but also the rational control of other catalysis-determinant structural parameters, such as size and morphology. We also demonstrate the emerging intermetallic nanomaterials for potentially further advancement in energy electrocatalysis. Then, we discuss the state-of-the-art characterizations and representative intermetallic electrocatalysts with emphasis on oxygen reduction reaction evaluated in a MEA setup. We summarize this review by laying out existing challenges and offering perspective on future research directions toward practicing intermetallic electrocatalysts for energy conversions.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) working in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) region has aroused a huge interest due to its potential application in terms of clinical cancer treatment. However, owing to the lack of photothermal nanoagents with high photothermal conversion efficiency, NIR-II-driven PTT still suffers from poor efficiency and subsequent cancer recurrence. In this work, we show a new and highly efficient preparation approach for NIR-II photothermal nanoagents and tailor ultrathin layered double hydroxide (LDH)-supported Ag@Ag2O core-shell nanoparticles (Ag@Ag2O/LDHs-U), vastly improving NIR-II photothermal performance. A combination study (high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)) verifies that ultrafine Ag@Ag2O core-shell nanoparticles (∼3.8 nm) are highly dispersed and firmly immobilized within ultrathin LDH nanosheets, and their Ag2O shell possesses abundant vacancy-type defects. These unique Ag@Ag2O/LDHs-U display an impressive photothermal conversion efficiency as high as 76.9% at 1064 nm. Such an excellent photothermal performance is likely attributed to the enhanced localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) coupling effect between Ag and Ag2O and the reduced band gap caused by vacancy-type defects in the Ag2O shell. Meanwhile, Ag@Ag2O/LDHs-U also show prominent photothermal stability, due to the unique supported core-shell nanostructure. Moreover, both in vitro and in vivo studies further confirm that Ag@Ag2O/LDHs-U possess good biocompatible properties and outstanding PTT therapeutic efficacy in the NIR-II region. This research shows a new strategy in the rational design and preparation of an efficient photothermal agent, which is helpful to achieve more accurate and effective cancer theranostics.

Abstract
The crystal phase of nanomaterials is one of the key parameters determining their physicochemical properties and performance in various applications. However, it still remains a great challenge to synthesize nanomaterials with different crystal phases while maintaining the same composition, size, and morphology. Here, a facile, one-pot, wet-chemical method is reported to synthesize Pd3 Sn nanorods with comparable size and morphology but different crystal phases, that is, an ordered intermetallic and a disordered alloy with L12 and face-centered cubic (fcc) phases, respectively. The crystal phase of the as-synthesized Pd3 Sn nanorods is easily tuned by altering the types of tin precursors and solvents. Moreover, the approach can also be used to synthesize ternary PdCuSn nanorods with the L12 crystal phase. When used as electrocatalysts, the L12 Pd3 Sn nanorods exhibit superior electrocatalytic performance toward the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) compared to their fcc counterpart. Impressively, compared to the L12 Pd3 Sn nanorods, the ternary L12 PdCuSn nanorods exhibit more enhanced electrocatalytic performance toward the EOR, yielding a high mass current density up to 6.22 A mgPd -1 , which is superior to the commercial Pd/C catalyst and among the best reported Pd-based EOR electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Self-assembly of nanoparticles (NPs) into highly ordered structure can enhance their electronic and optical properties that provide great potential applications such as nanoelectronics and nanophotonics. However, the self-assembly of NPs upon external stimuli was still mainly continuous and irreversible, making various potential applications of NPs difficult. Herein, the self-assembled superlattices of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with a temperature-selective response had been investigated by using the amphiphilic block copolymer as a template. The AuNPs in the block copolymer template, which has the closed looplike phase behavior upon heating, self-assembled into the highly ordered body centered cubic (BCC) or face centered cubic (FCC) structures at a specific temperature region that means a temperature-selective responsiveness. The formation of highly ordered self-assembled superlattices (BCC or FCC symmetries) of AuNPs with the closed looplike phase behavior was controlled by the additive and temperature. This study is the first demonstration for temperature-selective response of the cooperative self-assembly of AuNPs in the block copolymer template.

Abstract
In catalysis science, the electronic structure of the active site determines the structure-activity relationship of the catalyst to a large extent. Therefore, modulating the electronic structure has become a main route for the rational design of metal-based catalyst materials. In this work, we prepared a LaCoSiHx material that has more electronegativity and a lower workfunction than traditional supported Co-based catalysts. Using CO2 methanation as a model catalytic reaction, the facile dissociation of CO2 and CO (a key reaction intermediate) on the surface of the LaCoSiHx catalyst is observed by various experimental methods (e.g., in situ Raman and FTIR) at room temperature. Moreover, theoretical calculation results further show that LaCoSiHx has a much stronger capacity for carbon-oxygen bond activation than the Co surface. The intrinsic mechanism is attributed to the marked electron transfer from catalysts into the antibonding orbital of CO2 and CO.

Abstract
The functions of heterogeneous metallic nanocrystals (HMNCs) can be undoubtedly tuned by controlling their morphologies and compositions. As a less-studied kind of HMNCs, corner-satellite multi-metallic nanocrystals (CSMNCs) have great research value in structure-related electrocatalytic performance. In this work, PdAgPt corner-satellite nanocrystals with well-controlled morphologies and compositions have been developed by temperature regulation of a seed-mediated growth process. Through the seed-mediated growth, the morphology of PdAgPt products evolves from Pd@Ag cubes to PdAgPt corner-satellite cubes, and eventually to truncated hollow octahedra, as a result of the expansion of {111} facets in AgPt satellites. The growth of AgPt satellites exclusively on the corners of central cubes is realized with the joint help of Ag shell and moderate bromide, and hollow structures form only at higher reaction temperatures on account of galvanic displacement promoted by the Pd core. In view of the different performances of Pd and Pt toward formic acid oxidation (FAO), this structure-sensitive reaction is chosen to measure electrocatalytic properties of PdAgPt HMNCs. It is proven that PdAgPt CSMNCs display greatly improved activity toward FAO in direct oxidation pathway. In addition, with the help of AgPt heterogeneous shells, all PdAgPt HMNCs exhibit better durability than Pd cubes and commercial Pt.

Abstract
A controlled method to prepare glutathione-protected bimetallic gold-platinum nanoclusters (Au-PtNCs) has been established. The Au-PtNCs show either strong red (625 nm) or near-infrared (NIR, 805 nm) emission. Further characterizations indicated that the average particle size grows from 1.42 to 1.78 nm, the larger particles being responsible for the redshift of emission. The NIR emitted Au-PtNCs are applied as a novel ratiometric probe of Ag(I), which induces a new emission peak at ~635 nm and quenches the initial emission gradually. The determination shows very high selectivity toward Ag(I) among other metal ions. A limit of determination (10 nM) and the linear range (0.10 to 15 μM) are achieved, which is much lower than the EPA mandate of 0.46 μM for Ag(I) in drinking water. The response mechanism is attributed to the fact that the added Ag(I) has been reduced by the core of Au-PtNCs and deposited on the surface, which induces new fluorescence emission around 635 nm. In addition, the ratiometric method is feasible for Ag(I) determination in serum serum with good recovery (between 98.3% and 102.0%, n = 3), showing very high application potential. The present study provides a controlled method to prepare Au-PtNCs with strong red and NIR emission and supplies a novel NIR ratiometric probe of Ag(I). Schematic presentation of the controlled preparation of glutathione-protected bimetallic gold-platinum nanoclusters (Au-PtNCs) with either red or near-infrared (NIR) emission, and application in ratiometric detection of Ag(I) with high selectivity and sensitivity.

Abstract
With continuous research efforts devoted into synthesis and characterization chemistry of functional nanomaterials in the past decades, the development of metal materials is stepping into a new era, where atom-by-atom customization of property-dictating structural attributes is expected. Herein, the state-of-the-art modulation of functional metal nanomaterials at the atomic level, by size- and structure-controlled synthesis of thiolate-protected metal (e.g., Au and Ag) nanoclusters (NCs), is exemplified. Metal NCs are ultrasmall (<3 nm) particles with hierarchical primary, secondary, and tertiary structures, reminiscent of natural proteins or enzymes. Given the proven dependence of their physicochemical properties on their size and structure, documented synthetic methodologies delivering NCs with atomic-level monodispersity and tailorable size and structural attributes at individual hierarchical levels are categorized and discussed. Such assured atomic-level modulation could confer metal NCs with novel application opportunities in diverse fields, which are also exemplified by their size- and structure-dictated catalytic and biomedical performance. The precise synthesis and application chemistry developed based on the hierarchical structure scheme of metal NCs could increase the acceptance of metal NCs as a new family of functional materials.

Abstract
Design of catalytically active Pt-based catalysts with minimizing the usage of Pt is a major issue in fuel cells. Herein, for the first time, we have developed a Au catalytic reduction strategy to synthesize a Au@Pt core-shell electrocatalyst with a quasi-monolayer Pt skin spontaneously formed from the gold surface catalysis. In the presence of presynthesized gold nanocrystals (used as the catalyst and Au seeds) and 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid buffer (used as reductant), under the Au surface catalysis, platinum ions can be reduced and deposited on the gold nanocrystals to form a Pt skin surface with a quasi-monatomic thickness. In the present strategy, Pt ions can be reduced only under the catalysis of gold surface and thus when the surface of Au NPs is covered by a monatomic Pt layer, the reduction reaction of Pt ions will be spontaneously turned off. Therefore, the significant advantage of this synthesis strategy is that the formation of quasi-monolayer Pt skin surface can be self-controlled and is completely free of controlling the dosage of platinum ions and the size distribution of Au cores. The synthesized Au@Pt core@shell structure exhibited enhanced electrocatalytic activities for oxygen reduction reaction and methanol oxidation reaction, which are 6.87 and 10.17 times greater than those of Pt/C catalyst, respectively. The present study provides a new strategy for obtaining high-performance bimetallic/multimetallic electrocatalysts with high utilization of precious metals.

Abstract
Noble-metal nanomaterials are attracting increasing research interest due to their promising applications in electrochemical catalysis, for example. Although great efforts have been devoted to the size-, shape-, and architecture-controlled synthesis of noble-metal nanomaterials, their crystal-phase-controlled synthesis is still in its infancy. Here, for the first time, this study reports high-yield synthesis of Au nanorods (NRs) with alternating 4H/face-centered cubic (fcc) crystal-phase heterostructures via a one-pot wet-chemical method. The coexistence of 4H and fcc phases is relatively stable, and the 4H/fcc Au NRs can serve as templates for crystal-phase-controlled epitaxial growth of other metals. As an example, bimetallic 4H/fcc Au@Pd core-shell NRs are synthesized via the epitaxial growth of Pd on 4H/fcc Au NRs. Significantly, the 4H/fcc Au@Pd NRs show superior mass activity toward the ethanol oxidation reaction, i.e., 6.2 and 4.9 times those of commercial Pd black and Pt/C catalysts, respectively. It is believed that this new synthetic strategy can be used to prepare other novel catalysts for various promising applications.

Abstract
Raspberry-like nano-objects made of large plasmonic satellites (>10 nm) covering a central dielectric particle have many potential applications as photonic materials, superlenses and (bio-) sensors, but their synthesis remains challenging. Herein, we show how to build stable and robust raspberry-like nano-systems with close-packed satellites, by combining monodisperse silica particles (80 or 100 nm diameter) and oppositely charged noble metal nanoparticles (Au or Ag) with well-defined sizes (10-50 nm). The spectral characteristics of their associated plasmonic resonances (wavelength, linewidth, extinction cross-section) and the electromagnetic coupling between satellites were observed using the spatial modulation spectroscopy technique and interpreted through a numerical model. The composite nano-objects exhibit numerous hot spots at satellite junctions, resulting in excellent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) performance. The SERS efficiency of the raspberry-like clusters is highly dependent on their structure.

Abstract
Seed-mediated growth is a powerful and versatile approach for the synthesis of colloidal metal nanocrystals. The vast allure of this approach mainly stems from the staggering degree of control one can achieve over the size, shape, composition, and structure of nanocrystals. These parameters not only control the properties of nanocrystals but also determine their relevance to, and performance in, various applications. The ingenuity and artistry inherent to seed-mediated growth offer extensive promise, enhancing a number of existing applications and opening the door to new developments. This Review demonstrates how the diversity of metal nanocrystals can be expanded with endless opportunities by using seeds with well-defined and controllable internal structures in conjunction with a proper combination of capping agent and reduction kinetics. New capabilities and future directions are also highlighted.

Abstract
While galvanic exchange is commonly applied to metallic nanoparticles, recently its applicability was expanded to metal-oxides. Here the galvanic exchange is studied in metal/metal-oxide core/shell nanocrystals. In particular Sn/SnO2 is treated by Ag+, Pt2+, Pt4+, and Pd2+. The conversion dynamics is monitored by in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The Ag+ treatment converts the Sn cores to the intermetallic Ag x Sn (x ∼ 4) phase, by changing the core's crystal structure. For the analogous treatment by Pt2+, Pt4+, and Pd2+, such a galvanic exchange is not observed. This different behavior is caused by the semipermeability of the naturally formed SnO2 shell, which allows diffusion of Ag+ but protects the nanocrystal cores from oxidation by Pt and Pd ions.

Abstract
Understanding of the “structure-activity” relations for catalysts at an atomic level has been regarded as one of the most important objectives in catalysis studies. Bimetallic nanoclusters (NCs) in its many types, such as core/shell, random alloy, cluster-in-cluster, bi-hemisphere, and crown jewel (one kind of atom locating at the top position of another kind of NC), attract significant attention owing to their excellent optical, electronic, and catalytic properties. PVP-protected crown jewel-structured Pt/Au (CJ-Pt/Au) bimetallic nanoclusters (BNCs) with Au atoms located at active top sites were synthesized via a replacement reaction using 1.4-nm Pt NCs as mother clusters even considering the fact that the replacement reaction between Pt and Au3+ ions is difficult to be occurred. The prepared CJ-Pt/Au colloidal catalysts characterized by UV-Vis, TEM, HR-TEM and HAADF-STEM-EELS showed a high catalytic activity for aerobic glucose oxidation, and the top Au atoms decorating the Pt NCs were about 15 times more active than the Au atoms of Au NCs with similar particle size.

Abstract
Thiolate-protected metal nanoclusters (or thiolated metal NCs) have recently emerged as a promising class of functional materials because of their well-defined molecular structures and intriguing molecular-like properties. Recent developments in the NC field have aimed at exploring metal NCs as novel luminescent materials in the biomedical field because of their inherent biocompatibility and good photoluminescence (PL) properties. From the fundamental perspective, recent advances in the field have also aimed at addressing the fundamental aspects of PL properties of metal NCs, shedding some light on developing efficient strategies to prepare highly luminescent metal NCs. In this Perspective, we discuss the physical chemistry of a recently discovered aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon and show the significance of AIE in understanding the PL properties of thiolated metal NCs. We then explore the unique physicochemical properties of thiolated metal NCs with AIE characteristics and highlight some recent developments in synthesizing the AIE-type luminescent metal NCs. We finally discuss perspectives and directions for future development of the AIE-type luminescent metal NCs.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of high quality trimetallic Au/Ag/Pt nanorings (TAAPNs) by using Au/Ag alloy decahedra (AAAD) as templates. The alloying effect and AgCl-directing growth have been investigated in detail during the formation of TAAPN. It was found that the doping of Ag in AAAD changes the surrounding environment of Au atoms and decreases the oxidization reduction potential (ORP) of [AuCl(2)](-)/Au because of the alloying effect, resulting in the dissolved O(2) molecules that serve as an effective etchant for oxidizing Au to Au(I). Ascorbic acid (AA) and chloroplatinic acid (H(2)PtCl(6)) are weak acids which can accelerate the etching by increasing the concentration of H(+). The AgCl selectively absorbs on {100} of the decahedra and induces the preferential deposition of H(2)PtCl(6) here via their complexing interaction. AA reduces Pt(IV) and Ag(I) to atoms which grow on {100} facets. The formed Pt/Ag layer changes the etching direction from along [100] to [111] and generates the TAAPN. Besides, it has been noted that the TAAPNs exhibit good Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) performance.

Abstract
The synthesis, processing, and galvanic exchange of three heterostructured nanoparticle systems is described. The surface accessibility and redox potential of a Au/Pd-Ag dumbbell nanoparticle, where a Au/Pd core/shell region, and a silver region make up the domains, was used to prepare the new nanostructures with controlled composition, morphology, and microstructure. Results indicate that the silver domain was particularly susceptible to galvanic displacement, and was exchanged to Au/Pd-M (M = Au, Pd, Pt). Interestingly, the dumbbell morphology remained after exchange, and the silver region was transformed to hollow, parachute, or concentric domains respectively. The morphology and microstructure change was visualized via TEM and HRTEM, and the composition changes were probed via STEM-EDS imaging and XPS. The electrocatalytic activity of the Au/Pd-M towards methanol oxidation was studied, with results indicating that the Au/Pd-Pt nanoparticles had high activity attributed to the porous nature of the platinum domains.
