Abstract
Finding simple, easily controlled, and flexible synthetic routes for the preparation of ternary and hybrid nanostructured semiconductors is always highly desirable, especially to fulfill the requirements for mass production to enable application to many fields such as optoelectronics, thermoelectricity, and catalysis. Moreover, understanding the underlying reaction mechanisms is equally important, offering a starting point for its extrapolation from one system to another. In this work, we developed a new and more straightforward colloidal synthetic way to form hybrid Au-Ag2X (X = S, Se) nanoparticles under mild conditions through the reaction of Au and Ag2X nanostructured precursors in solution. At the solid-solid interface between metallic domains and the binary chalcogenide domains, a small fraction of a ternary AuAg3X2 phase was observed to have grown as a consequence of a solid-state electrochemical reaction, as confirmed by computational studies. Thus, the formation of stable ternary phases drives the selective hetero-attachment of Au and Ag2X nanoparticles in solution, consolidates the interface between their domains, and stabilizes the whole hybrid Au-Ag2X systems.

Abstract
A facile synthetic strategy was developed for a hollow Ru octahedral nanocage via an in situ generated metastable facet-controlled Cu nanooctahedron. Co-decomposition of Cu and Ru precursors forms a metastable core-shell Cu@Ru nanoparticle, and a subsequent in situ dissolution of the core Cu phase results in a hollow octahedral Cu-doped Ru nanocage. CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) was found to effect both the formation and destabilization of the Cu template under the employed reaction conditions, which is the key requirement for one-step synthesis of hollow Cu-doped Ru nanocages. The regioselective, preferential deposition of Ru atoms on the edge and corner of the core template nanoparticle led to a structurally well-defined Cu doped-Ru octahedral nanocage.

Abstract
Surface-energy fine-tuned five-fold twinned nanostructures with a core-shell Pt3Ni@Rh structural motif, namely, a core-shell Pt3Ni@Rh pentagon, a core-shell Pt3Ni@Rh starfish, and a paddlewheel with a Pt3Ni crankshaft and two Rh five-fold starfish wheels, are prepared by rationally designed stepwise heteroepitaxial growth. Unusual selective hydrogenation of the phenyl ring in phthalimide is accomplished with moderately active core-shell Pt3Ni@Rh pentagons and starfish-like nanoparticles. The most active paddlewheel structure proceeds to further reduce one carbonyl group, indicating the sequential nature of phthalimide reduction by Rh nanoparticle catalysis.
