Abstract
Ultra-sensitive LFA methods for pathogen detection commonly depended on tedious and time-consuming nucleic acid amplification. Here, a high affinity multivalent aptamer (multi-Apt) for S. aureus was obtained through exquisite engineering design. The scaffold and conformation of the multi-Apt were found to be key factors in the detection signal of aptsensors. After optimization, the binding affinity of the multi-Apt to S. aureus was improved by more than 8-fold from 135.9 nM to 16.77 nM. By the joint use of the multi-Apt and a multifunctional nanozyme Fe3O4@MOF@PtPd, a fast and ultra-sensitive LFA for S. aureus was developed (termed MA-MN LFA). In this method, a Fe3O4@MOF@PtPd nanozyme was modified with vancomycin and could efficiently capture and separate S. aureus. Moreover, the multi-Apt worked together with the nanozyme to bind with S. aureus to form a ternary complex at the same time, which simply the fabrication of LFA strip. The developed MA-MN LFA could detect S. aureus as low as 2 CFU/mL within 30 min and a wide linear range of 10-1 × 108 CFU/mL was obtained. The detection is easily operated, fast (can be completed within 30 min) and versatile for Gram-positive pathogens, thus has great potential as a powerful tool in pathogen detection.

Abstract
The peroxidase (POD)-like catalytic activity of various nanozymes was extensively applied in many significant fields. In this study, a thiol-functionalized MOF-loaded PdPt nanocomposite (UiO-66-(SH)2@PdPt) was fabricated, which possesses superior and selective POD-like activity with strong affinity towards H2O2 and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine under mild conditions. The POD-like property of UiO-66-(SH)2@PdPt was used to sensitively detect the concentration of D-glucose under near-neutral (pH = 6.5) conditions. The detection limit of D-glucose was as low as 2.7 μM, and the linear range of D-glucose was 5-700 μM. In addition, UiO-66-(SH)2@PdPt could accelerate the oxidative coupling chromogenic reaction of chlorophenol (CP) and 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) in the presence of H2O2. Based on this phenomenon, a simple and visualized sensing array for the identification of chlorophenol contaminant isomers was further constructed to finally achieve the effective differentiation of three monochlorophenol isomers and six dichlorophenol isomers. Furthermore, a colorimetric detection method for 2-chlorophenol and 2,4-dichlorophenol was established. This work provides an effective means to improve the catalytic activity and selectivity of nanozymes by introducing an ideal carrier, which will be of significant value for the design of efficient nanozymes.

Abstract
Low-temperature fuel cells have great application potential in electric vehicles and portable electronic devices, which need advanced electrocatalysts. Controlling the composition and morphology of electrocatalysts can effectively improve their catalytic performance. In this work, a Rh metallene (Rhlene)-supported Pt nanoparticle (Pt/Rhlene) electrocatalyst is successfully synthesized by a simple chemical reduction method, in which ultra-small Pt nanoparticles are uniformly attached to the Rhlene surface due to the high surface area of Rhlene. Pt/Rhlene reveals a 3.60-fold Pt-mass activity enhancement for the ethylene glycol oxidation reaction in alkaline solution compared with commercial Pt black, and maintains high stability and excellent poisoning-tolerance during electrocatalysis, owing to the specific physical/chemical properties of Rhlene. The superior electrocatalytic performance of Pt/Rhlene may open an avenue to synthesize other metallene-supported noble metal nanoparticle hybrids for various electrocatalytic applications.

Abstract
The electrooxidation of ethylene glycol (EG) is of vital significance for the conversion from biomass energy into electrical energy via direct fuel cells. However, the EG oxidation reaction (EGOR) suffers from poor efficiency due to the limitation of high-performance electrocatalysts for cleaving the C-C bonds. Herein, this limitation is successfully addressed by fabricating the doughnut-shaped Pd-Bi2Te3 heterostructured catalyst. Notably, the heterojunction Pd-Bi2Te3 nanocatalyst has been demonstrated to be highly active toward the EGOR with superb activity and durability, in which a mass activity as high as 2420.8 mA mg-1 is achieved in alkaline media, being 1.7 times higher than that of the commercial Pd/C catalyst. Upon combination of experimental results with mechanism studies, it is indicated that the remarkable EGOR performance is attributed to the enlarged active areas that stemmed from the doughnut-like structure, as well as the strong synergistic effect from Pd-Bi2Te3 and Pd. More importantly, the highly electroactive Pd-Bi2Te3 can accelerate charge transfer and boost the oxidation of CO-like intermediates, which are conducive to the enhancement in electrochemical stability.

Abstract
Concave morphologies provide noble metal nanocrystals (NCs) with unique performances due to large specific surface areas, high curves, hot spots, and elevated energy facets. As a result, concave morphologies have attracted considerable attention in many areas. However, most NCs with concave shapes are currently made of a single metal, leaving plenty of room for easy wet chemical synthesis and structural analysis of unique concave structures, especially bimetallic compounds. In this work, concave octahedral Pt-Pd alloy NCs with high-index {hhl} faces were synthesized using glycine as a coordination molecule and polyvinylpyrrolidone as the surfactant and reducing agent. The high-index facets coupled with the synergistic and electronic effects between Pt and Pd provided concave octahedral Pt-Pd alloy NCs with excellent activity and stability toward the electrooxidation of formic acid when compared to their convex counterparts and commercial Pt black.

Abstract
Pt-based nanomaterials have been proven to be effective catalysts for direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs). Specifically, the ternary nanoalloys (NAs) composed of Pt with other noble metals and transition metals can not only reduce the component of Pt but also enhance the electrocatalytic property and durability for alcohol oxidation. Herein, ternary PdPtCu NAs were synthesized through the solvothermal method using ethylene glycol as the solvent and reducing agent. The morphology and composition of PdPtCu NAs can be effectively controlled via selecting suitable surfactants and adjusting the proportion of precursors. The three-dimensional (3D) PdPtCu NAs with spiny rambutan-like morphology were obtained using the triblock copolymer Pluronic F-127 (PF-127) as the surfactant and adding three precursors with an equal molar ratio. The unique structure of PdPtCu NAs and the synergistic effect between the components significantly improved the electrocatalytic activity toward ethanol oxidation. Compared with different atomic ratio binary or ternary nanomaterials, 3D PdPtCu NAs manifested the best electrocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Hierarchical porous carbon-encapsulated ultrasmall PtCu (UsPtCu@C) nanoparticles (NPs) were constructed based on segmentation and re-encapsulation of porous PtCu NPs by using glucose as a green biomass carbon source. The synergistic electronic effect from the bimetallic elements can enhance the catalytic activity by adjusting the surface electronic structure of Pt. Most importantly, the generated porous carbon shell provided a large contact surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, and structural stability, and the ultrasmall PtCu NPs exhibited an increased electrochemical performance compared with their PtCu matrix because of the exposure of more catalytically active centers. This synergistic relationship between the components resulted in enhanced catalytic activity and better stability of the obtained UsPtCu@C for ethylene glycol oxidation reaction and the oxygen-reduction reaction in alkaline electrolyte, which was higher than the PtCu NPs and commercial Pt/C (20 wt % Pt on Vulcan XC-72). The electrochemically active surface areas of the UsPtCu@C, PtCu NPs, and commercial Pt/C were calculated to be approximately 230.2, 32.8, and 64.0 m2/gPt, respectively; the mass activity of the UsPtCu@C for the ethylene glycol oxidation reaction was 8.5 A/mgPt, which was 14.2 and 8.5 times that of PtCu NPs and commercial Pt/C, respectively. The specific activity of UsPtCu@C was 3.7 mA/cmpt2, which was 2.1 and 2.3 times that of PtCu NPs and commercial Pt/C, respectively. The onset potential (Eon-set) of UsPtCu@C for the oxygen-reduction reaction was 0.96 V (vs reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE), which was 110 and 60 mV higher than PtCu and commercial Pt/C, respectively. The half-wave potentials (E1/2) of UsPtCu@C, PtCu, and Pt/C were 0.88, 0.56, and 0.82 V (vs RHE), respectively, which indicated that the UsPtCu@C catalyst had an excellent bifunctional electrocatalytic activity.

Abstract
A PdNi/RGO/polyoxometalate nanocomposite has been successfully synthesized by a simple wet-chemical method. Characterizations such as transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are employed to verify the morphology, structure, and elemental composition of the as-prepared nanocomposite. Inspired by the fast-developing fuel cells, the electrochemical catalytic performance of the nanocomposite toward methanol and ethanol oxidation in alkaline media is further tested. Notably, the nanocomposite exhibits excellent catalytic activity and long-term stability toward alcohol electrooxidation compared with the PdNi/RGO and commercial Pd/C catalyst. Furthermore, the electrochemical results reveal that the prepared nanocomposite is attractive as a promising electrocatalyst for direct alcohol fuel cells, in which the phosphotungstic acid plays a crucial role in enhancing the electrocatalytic activities of the catalyst.

Abstract
Highly open metallic nanocages represent a novel class of nanostructures for advanced catalytic applications in direct liquid fuels cells due to their specific capability of providing easy access to reactants in both internal and external active sites and also desirable electronic structures for the adsorption of molecules, which render superior catalytic performances. However, to date, the rational design of trimetallic nanocages with tunable compositions remains a challenge. Herein, we demonstrate a facile method combining seed mediated and galvanic replacement for the preparation of unique trimetallic Pd-Au-Ag nanocages catalysts with tunable compositions. A series of controlled experiments reveal that the reaction time plays a crucial role in affecting the morphology of the final product. Importantly, the newly-generated Pd-Au-Ag nanocages are high-performance electrocatalysts for the oxidation of both ethylene glycol and glycerol with mass activities of 7578.2 and 5676.1 mA mg-1, respectively, which are far superior to that of commercial Pd/C. We firmly believe that the strategy and enhanced electrocatalysts developed in this study can be well applied to boost the commercial development of fuel cell technologies.

Abstract
We report a very easy and effective approach for synthesizing unique palladium-on-gold supra-nanostructure (Au@Pd-SprNS)-decorated graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets. The SprNSs comprising Au nanorods as core and a unique close-packed assembly of tiny anisotropic Pd nanoparticles (NPs) as shell were homogeneously distributed on the GO surface via electrostatic self-assembly. Compared with the traditional one-pot method for synthesis of metal NPs on GO sheets, the size and shape of core-shell Au@Pd SprNSs can be finely controlled and uniformly distributed on the GO carrier. Interestingly, this Au@Pd-SprNSs/GO nanocomposite displayed high electrocatalytic activities toward the oxidation of methanol, ethanol, and formic acid, which can be attributed to the abundance of intrinsic active sites including high density of atomic steps, ledges and kinks, Au-Pd heterojunctions and cooperative action of the two metals of the SprNSs. Additionally, uniform dispersion of the SprNSs over the GO nanosheets prevent agglomeration between the SprNSs, which is of great significance to enhance the long-term stability of catalyst. This work will introduce a highly efficient Pd-based nanoelectrocatalyst to be used in fuel cell application.

Abstract
A one-pot method for the fast synthesis of a 3D nanochain network (NNC) of PdCu alloy without any surfactants is described. The composition of the as-prepared PdCu alloy catalysts can be precisely controlled by changing the precursor ratio of Pd to Cu. First, the Cu content changes the electronic structure of Pd in the 3D NNC of PdCu alloy. Second, the 3D network structure offers large open pores, high surface areas, and self-supported properties. Third, the surfactant-free strategy results in a relatively clean surface. These factors all contribute to better electrocatalytic activity and durability towards ethanol oxidation. Moreover, the use of copper in the alloy lowers the price of the catalyst by replacing the noble metal palladium with non-noble metal copper. The composition-optimized Pd80 Cu20 alloy in the 3D NNC catalyst shows an increased electrochemically active surface area (80.95 m(2) g(-1) ) and a 3.62-fold enhancement of mass activity (6.16 A mg(-1) ) over a commercial Pd/C catalyst.

Abstract
Due to the specific physical and chemical properties of a highly branched noble metal, the controllable synthesis has attracted much attention. This article reports the synthesis of Pd/Ru nanodendrites by a facile method using an oil bath in the presence of polyvinyl pyrrolidone, potassium bromide and ascorbic acid. The morphology, structure, and composition of the as-prepared catalysts were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. In the electrochemical measurement, the as-prepared Pd7/Ru1 bimetallic nanodendrites provide a large electrochemically active surface area and exhibit high peak current density in the forward scan toward ethanol electrooxidation, which is nearly four times higher than those of a pure Pd catalyst. The as-prepared Pd7/Ru1 catalysts also exhibit significantly enhanced cycling stability toward ethanol oxidation in alkaline medium, which are mainly ascribed to the synergetic effect between Pd and Ru. This indicates that the Pd7/Ru1 catalysts should have great potential applications in direct ethanol fuel cells.
