Abstract
In modern nanoscience and nanotechnology, gold nanomaterials are indispensable building blocks that have demonstrated a plethora of applications in catalysis, biology, bioelectronics, and optoelectronics. Gold nanomaterials possess many appealing material properties, such as facile control over their size/shape and surface functionality, intrinsic chemical inertness yet with high biocompatibility, adjustable localized surface plasmon resonances, tunable conductivity, wide electrochemical window, etc. Such material attributes have been recently utilized for designing and fabricating soft bioelectronics and optoelectronics. This motivates to give a comprehensive overview of this burgeoning field. The discussion of representative tailor-made gold nanomaterials, including gold nanocrystals, ultrathin gold nanowires, vertically aligned gold nanowires, hard template-assisted gold nanowires/gold nanotubes, bimetallic/trimetallic gold nanowires, gold nanomeshes, and gold nanosheets, is begun. This is followed by the description of various fabrication methodologies for state-of-the-art applications such as strain sensors, pressure sensors, electrochemical sensors, electrophysiological devices, energy-storage devices, energy-harvesting devices, optoelectronics, and others. Finally, the remaining challenges and opportunities are discussed.

Abstract
Generally, two-dimensional gold nanomaterials have unique properties and functions that offer exciting application prospects. However, the crystal phases of these materials tend to be limited to the thermodynamically stable crystal structure. Herein, we report a DNA framework-templated approach for the ambient aqueous synthesis of freestanding and microscale amorphous gold nanosheets with ultrathin sub-nanometer thickness. We observe that extended single-stranded DNA on DNA nanosheets can induce site-specific metallization and enable precise modification of the metalized nanostructures at predefined positions. More importantly, the as-prepared gold nanosheets can serve as an electrocatalyst for glucose oxidase-catalyzed aerobic oxidation, exhibiting enhanced electrocatalytic activity (~3-fold) relative to discrete gold nanoclusters owing to a larger electrochemical active area and wider band gap. The proposed DNA framework-templated metallization strategy is expected to be applicable in a broad range of fields, from catalysis to new energy materials.

Abstract
Two-dimensional Ni nanosheets are synthesized by the template-free method using Na3CA as an orientation agent in liquid phase, and then the conductive Ni nanosheet ink is prepared for conductive circuits on flexible electronics. The thickness of the Ni nanosheets is about 800 nm, and the diameter is about 100 μm. Na3CA plays a structural guiding role to form Ni nanocrystals, promoting the self-assembly of Ni nanocrystals into Ni nanosheets effectively. The laminar stackable patterns of the Ni nanosheet circuits increase the contact area of the Ni nanosheets and improve the stability of the conductors under stress. Ni nanosheets can bend with the folding of the structure, while the mutual constraints between their layers promote the circuit to remain stable during the bending state. Therefore, the Ni nanosheet circuits display excellent conductive performance during the tiled and bent stages. In addition, Ni nanosheet/Ag nanowire composites are prepared to enhance conductivity to meet higher demands. Moreover, the experimental results of its application in magnetic guided switch closure circuits show that Ni nanosheet/Ag nanowire composites have the potential to participate in both conductive and magnetic field applications simultaneously.

Abstract
The pseudo-two-dimensional (2D) morphology of plate-like metal nanoparticles makes them one of the most anisotropic, mechanistically understood, and tunable structures available. Although well-known for their superior plasmonic properties, recent progress in the 2D growth of various other materials has led to an increasingly diverse family of plate-like metal nanoparticles, giving rise to numerous appealing properties and applications. In this review, we summarize recent progress on the solution-phase growth of colloidal plate-like metal nanoparticles, including plasmonic and other metals, with an emphasis on mechanistic insights for different synthetic strategies, the crystallographic habits of different metals, and the use of nanoplates as scaffolds for the synthesis of other derivative structures. We additionally highlight representative self-assembly techniques and provide a brief overview on the attractive properties and unique versatility benefiting from the 2D morphology. Finally, we share our opinions on the existing challenges and future perspectives for plate-like metal nanomaterials.

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
Free-standing, 2D gold nanosheets (AuNS) offer broad potential applications from computing to biosensing and healthcare. Such applications, however, require improved control of material growth. We recently reported the synthesis of AuNS only ∼0.47 nm (two atoms) thick, which exhibited very high catalytic activity. The synthesis is a one-pot, seedless procedure in which chloroauric acid is reduced by sodium citrate in the presence of methyl orange (MO). In this study, we use spectrophotometric analysis and TEM imaging to probe AuNS formation and optimize the procedure. Previously, we suggested that MO acted as the confining agent, directing two-dimensional growth of the gold. Here, we provide the first reported analysis of the HAuCl4 and MO reaction. We show that MO is rapidly oxidized to give 4-diazobenzenesulfonic acid, indicating that a complex interplay between HAuCl4, MO, and other reaction products leads to AuNS formation. Time-resolved studies indicate that synthesis time can be significantly reduced from over 12 to 2-3 h. Decreasing the reaction temperature from 20 to 4 °C improved AuNS yield by 16-fold, and the catalytic activity of the optimized material matches that obtained previously. Our elucidation of AuNS formation mechanisms has opened avenues to further improve and tune the synthesis, enhancing the potential applications of ultrathin AuNS.

Abstract
Catalytic hydrogenation reduction based on sodium borohydride (NaBH4) has gained attention as an appealing "one-stone-two-birds" approach for the simultaneous elimination of nitroaromatic pollutants and the production of high-value aminoaromatics under mild conditions. However, the slow kinetics of NaBH4 dissociation on the surface of catalysts restrict the catalytic hydrogenation reduction efficiency. Herein, we report an intelligent localized sulfidation strategy for an in situ implantation of Bi2S3 nanorods within quasi-Bi-MOF architectures (Bi2S3@quasi-Bi-MOF) by fine-tuning the pyrolysis temperature. In this novel Bi2S3@quasi-Bi-MOF, the porous quasi-Bi-MOF enables efficient adsorption of BH4- and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), while Bi2S3 facilitates the BH4- dissociation to form Hads* species adsorbed on the catalyst surface. Benefiting from the synergistic structure, Bi2S3@quasi-Bi-MOF exhibits excellent performance for the catalytic reduction of 4-NP, delivering a high turnover frequency (TOF) of 1.67 × 10-4 mmol mg-1 min-1 and an extremely high normalized rate constant (knor) of 435298 s-1 g-1. The kinetic analysis and electrochemical tests indicate that this catalytic hydrogenation reduction follows the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. This study enriches the synthetic strategy of MOF-based derivatives and offers a new catalytic platform for hydrogenation reduction reactions.

Abstract
Bimetallic nanostructures comprising plasmonic and catalytic components have recently emerged as a promising approach to generate a new type of photo-enhanced nanoreactors. Most designs however concentrate on plasmon-induced charge separation, leaving photo-generated heat as a side product. This work presents a photoreactor based on Au-Pd nanorods with an optimized photothermal conversion, which aims to effectively utilize the photo-generated heat to increase the rate of Pd-catalyzed reactions. Dumbbell-shaped Au nanorods were fabricated via a seed-mediated growth method using binary surfactants. Pd clusters were selectively grown at the tips of the Au nanorods, using the zeta potential as a new synthetic parameter to indicate the surfactant remaining on the nanorod surface. The photothermal conversion of the Au-Pd nanorods was improved with a thin layer of polydopamine (PDA) or TiO2. As a result, a 60% higher temperature increment of the dispersion compared to that for bare Au rods at the same light intensity and particle density could be achieved. The catalytic performance of the coated particles was then tested using the reduction of 4-nitrophenol as the model reaction. Under light, the PDA-coated Au-Pd nanorods exhibited an improved catalytic activity, increasing the reaction rate by a factor 3. An analysis of the activation energy confirmed the photoheating effect to be the dominant mechanism accelerating the reaction. Thus, the increased photothermal heating is responsible for the reaction acceleration. Interestingly, the same analysis shows a roughly 10% higher reaction rate for particles under illumination compared to under dark heating, possibly implying a crucial role of localized heat gradients at the particle surface. Finally, the coating thickness was identified as an essential parameter determining the photothermal conversion efficiency and the reaction acceleration.

Abstract
This study describes the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using the extract of Ganoderma lucidum in the buffer zone of Bach Ma National Park, Vietnam, as a reducing and protecting agent using microwave-assisted synthesis. The as-synthesized AuNPs were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Compared to the conventional method, the proposed microwave-assisted method produced AuNPs having a small size of 22.07 ± 8.11 nm in a short synthesis time period. In excess NaBH4, the as-prepared AuNPs demonstrated good catalytic activity for reducing 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol. Furthermore, AuNPs demonstrated improved reusability after four cycles. The pseudo-first-order apparent rate constant was estimated to be 0.086 min-1 at 303 K. Both the catalytic mechanism and reaction path of reduction were proposed. Moreover, activation energy and thermodynamic parameters, including activation enthalpy and entropy, were examined.

Abstract
With the aid of the confined conversion of layered silicate RUB-15, homogeneously dispersed Au and SnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were generated in the confined layer space of RUB-15. The Au-SnO2/SiO2 composite was obtained with the structure that ultrafine Au and SnO2 NPs were supported on SiO2 lamellas. Benefited by the Sn(II)-assisted in situ reduction strategy, Au NPs were highly uniformed and evenly distributed in/on the RUB-15. This Au-SnO2/SiO2 composite was employed as a catalyst to the reduction of 4-nitrophenol showing excellent catalytic activity. The catalytic rate constant at room temperature was calculated to be 6.64 min-1, which was dramatically higher than that of Au/SiO2 composite produced by reduction with hydrazine hydrate on the same support of layered silicate RUB-15. The interaction between Au and SnO2 NPs increased the electron density around Au NPs, which was demonstrated to be an essential factor to the excellent catalytic activity of the Au-SnO2/SiO2 composite. The simple and universal synthesis method afforded precise control over the size/spatial arrangement of Au and SnO2 NPs on SiO2 lamellas. The high activity of the Au-SnO2/SiO2 composite demonstrated that the strategy used in this study has good potential application prospect. Furthermore, this work provided new perspective on the catalysis mechanism to the metal/semiconductor synergistic catalyst system.

Abstract
Cu2O/CuO nano-architectures were prepared by biogenic-mediated synthesis using pomegranate seeds extract as the reducing/stabilizing mediator during an aqueous solution combustion process of the Cu2+ precursor. The fabricated Cu2O/CuO nanocomposite were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and nitrogen sorption. Nitrobenzene (NB) was applied a probe to test the catalytic activities of the fabricated Cu2O/CuO nanocomposite. The results indicated that pomegranate seeds extract (PSE) manifest Cu2O/CuO NPs of tiny particle size, larger pore volume and greater surface area compared to the bulky CuO synthesized in the absence of PSE. The surface area and total pore volume of Cu2O/CuO NPs were 20.1 m2 g−1 and 0.0362 cm3 g−1, respectively. The FESEM image shows the formation of broccoli-like architecture. The fabricated Cu2O/CuO nanocomposite possesses surprising activity towards the reduction of nitro compounds in the presence of NaBH4 into amino compounds with high conversion (94%). The reduction process was performed in water as a green solvent. Over four consecutive cycles the resulting nanocomposite also exhibits outstanding stability. In addition, the resulting Cu2O/CuO nanocomposite suggested herein may encourage scientists to start preparing more cost-effective catalysts for marketing instead of complicated catalysts.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) noble metal-based nanosheets (NSs) have received considerable interest in recent years due to their unique properties and widespread applications. Pd-based NSs, as a typical member of 2D noble metal-based NSs, have been most extensively studied. In this review, we first summarize the research progress on the synthesis of Pd-based NSs, including pure Pd NSs, Pd-based alloy NSs, Pd-based core-shell NSs and Pd-based hybrid NSs. The synthetic strategy and growth mechanism are systematically discussed. Then their properties and applications in catalysis, biotherapy, gas sensing and so on are introduced in detail. Finally, the challenges and opportunities towards the rational design and controlled synthesis of Pd-based NSs are proposed.

Abstract
We demonstrate the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) stabilized by 1-butyl-3-hexadecyl imidazolium bromide (Au@[C4C16Im]Br) and their use as a catalyst for the reduction of nitrophenol. The AuNPs show excellent stability in presence of [C4C16Im]Br ionic liquids for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol and 2-nitrophenol using NaBH4 as a reducing agent. The detailed kinetics for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol and 2-nitrophenol were investigated and the catalytic activity of Au@[C4C16Im]Br was evaluated. The pseudo first-order rate constant (kapp) values for 4-nitrophenol was observed to be greater than that of 2-nitrophenol and explained on the basis of hydrogen bonding present in 2-nitrophenol. Au@[C4C16Im]Br showed good separability and reusability and hence, it can be used for the complete reduction of nitrophenols in multiple cycles. The Langmuir–Hinshelwood reaction mechanism is elucidated for reduction of 4-nitrophenol by Au@[C4C16Im]Br nanocatalyst on the basis of the kapp values. The thermodynamic activation parameters such as activation energy, enthalpy of activation and entropy of activation were determined and explained using the temperature dependent kinetics for the reduction of nitrophenol using Au@[C4C16Im]Br. The above results reveal that the Au@[C4C16Im]Br nanocatalyst demonstrates excellent catalytic performance for the reduction of nitrophenol by NaBH4 at room temperature.

Abstract
Iron oxide ornamented carbon nanotube nanocomposites (Fe3O4.CNT NCs) were prepared by a wet-chemical process in basic means. The optical, morphological, and structural characterizations of Fe3O4.CNT NCs were performed using FTIR, UV/Vis., FESEM, TEM; XEDS, XPS, and XRD respectively. Flat GCE had been fabricated with a thin-layer of NCs using a coating binding agent. It was performed for the chemical sensor development by a dependable I-V technique. Among all interfering analytes, 3-methoxyphenol (3-MP) was selective towards the fabricated sensor. Increased electrochemical performances for example elevated sensitivity, linear dynamic range (LDR) and continuing steadiness towards selective 3-MP had been observed with chemical sensor. The calibration graph found linear (R2 = 0.9340) in a wide range of 3-MP concentration (90.0 pM ~ 90.0 mM). The limit of detection and sensitivity were considered as 1.0 pM and 9×10-4 μAμM-1cm-2 respectively. The prepared of Fe3O4.CNT NCs by a wet-chemical progression is an interesting route for the development of hazardous phenolic sensor based on nanocomposite materials. It is also recommended that 3-MP sensor is exhibited a promising performances based on Fe3O4.CNT NCs by a facile I-V method for the significant applications of toxic chemicals for the safety of environmental and health-care fields.

Abstract
Nickel oxide nanoparticles decorated carbon nanotube nanocomposites (NiO·CNT NCs) were prepared in a basic medium by using facile wet-chemical routes. The optical, morphological, and structural properties of NiO·CNT NCs were characterized using Fourier transformed infra-red (FT-IR), Ultra-violet visible (UV/Vis) spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray energy dispersed spectroscopy (XEDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. Selective 4-aminophenol (4-AP) chemical sensor was developed by a flat glassy carbon electrode (GCE, surface area: 0.0316cm2) fabricated with a thin-layer of NCs. Electrochemical responses including higher sensitivity, large dynamic range (LDR), limit of detection (LOD), and long-term stability towards 4-AP were obtained using the fabricated chemical sensors. The calibration curve was found linear (R2=0.914) over a wide range of 4-AP concentration (0.1nmol/L-0.1mol/L). In perspective of slope (2×10-5μA/μM), LOD and sensitivity were calculated as 15.0±0.1pM and ~6.33×10-4μA/(μM·cm) respectively. The synthesized NiO·CNT NCs using a wet-chemical method is a significant route for the development of ultrasensitive and selective phenolic sensor based on nano-materials for environmental toxic substances. It is suggested that a pioneer and selective development of 4-AP sensitive sensor using NiO·CNT NCs by a facile and reliable current vs voltage (I-V) method for the major application of toxic agents in biological, green environmental, and health-care fields in near future.

Abstract
Ce2O3 nanoparticle decorated CNT nanocomposites (Ce2O3.CNT NCs) were prepared by a wet-chemical method in basic medium. The Ce2O3.CNT NCs were examined using FTIR, UV/Vis, Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), X-ray electron dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). A selective 2-nitrophenol (2-NP) sensor was developed by fabricating a thin-layer of NCs onto a flat glassy carbon electrode (GCE, surface area = 0.0316 cm2). Higher sensitivity including linear dynamic range (LDR), long-term stability, and enhanced electrochemical performances towards 2-NP were achieved by a reliable current-voltage (I-V) method. The calibration curve was found linear (R2 = 0.9030) over a wide range of 2-NP concentration (100 pM ~ 100.0 mM). Limit of detection (LOD) and sensor sensitivity were calculated based on noise to signal ratio (~3N/S) as 60 ± 0.02 pM and 1.6×10−3 μAμM-1cm-2 respectively. The Ce2O3.CNT NCs synthesized by a wet-chemical process is an excellent way of establishing nanomaterial decorated carbon materials for chemical sensor development in favor of detecting hazardous compounds in health-care and environmental fields at broad-scales. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed chemical sensors can be applied and utilized in effectively for the selective detection of toxic 2-NP component in environmental real samples with acceptable and reasonable results.

Abstract
Hollow metallic nanostructures have shown potential in various applications including catalysis, drug delivery and phototherapy, owing to their large surface areas, reduced net density, and unique optical properties. In this study, novel hollow gold nanoflowers (HAuNFs) consisting of an open hollow channel in the center and multiple branches/tips on the outer surface are fabricated for the first time, via a facile one-step synthesis using an auto-degradable nanofiber as a bifunctional template. The one-dimensional (1D) nanofiber acts as both a threading template as well as a promoter of the anisotropic growth of the gold crystal, the combination of which leads to the formation of HAuNFs with a hollow channel and nanospikes. The synergy of favorable structural/surface features, including sharp edges, open cavity and high-index facets, provides our HAuNFs with excellent catalytic performance (activity and cycling stability) coupled with large single-particle SERS activity (including ∼30 times of activity in ethanol electro-oxidation and ∼40 times of single-particle SERS intensity, benchmarked against similar-sized solid gold nanospheres with smooth surfaces, as well as retaining 86.7% of the initial catalytic activity after 500 cycles in ethanol electro-oxidation). This innovative synthesis gives a nanostructure of the geometry distinct from the template and is extendable to fabricating other systems for example, hollow-channel silver nanoflowers (HAgNFs). It thus provides an insight into the design of hollow nanostructures via template methods, and offers a versatile synthetic strategy for diverse metal nanomaterials suited for a broad range of applications.
