Abstract
![]()
The development and
application of trimetallic nanoparticles continues
to accelerate rapidly as a result of advances in materials design,
synthetic control, and reaction characterization. Following the technological
successes of multicomponent materials in automotive exhausts and photovoltaics,
synergistic effects are now accessible through the careful preparation
of multielement particles, presenting exciting opportunities in the
field of catalysis. In this review, we explore the methods currently
used in the design, synthesis, analysis, and application of trimetallic
nanoparticles across both the experimental and computational realms
and provide a critical perspective on the emergent field of trimetallic
nanocatalysts. Trimetallic nanoparticles are typically supported on
high-surface-area metal oxides for catalytic applications, synthesized via preparative conditions that are comparable to those
applied for mono- and bimetallic nanoparticles. However, controlled
elemental segregation and subsequent characterization remain challenging
because of the heterogeneous nature of the systems. The multielement
composition exhibits beneficial synergy for important oxidation, dehydrogenation,
and hydrogenation reactions; in some cases, this is realized through
higher selectivity, while activity improvements are also observed.
However, challenges related to identifying and harnessing influential
characteristics for maximum productivity remain. Computation provides
support for the experimental endeavors, for example in electrocatalysis,
and a clear need is identified for the marriage of simulation, with
respect to both combinatorial element screening and optimal reaction
design, to experiment in order to maximize productivity from this
nascent field. Clear challenges remain with respect to identifying,
making, and applying trimetallic catalysts efficiently, but the foundations
are now visible, and the outlook is strong for this exciting chemical
field.

Label-free electrochemical biosensor for determination of procalcitonin based on graphene-wrapped Co nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon nanobrushes coupled with AuPtCu nanodendrites. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:110.

Abstract
A new label-free electrochemical immunosensor was constructed for quantitative detection of procalcitonin (PCT), by employing AuPtCu nanodendrites (AuPtCu NDs, prepared by a one-pot solvothermal method) and graphene-wrapped Co nanoparticles encapsulated in 3D N-doped carbon nanobrushes (G-Co@ NCNBs), obtained by self-catalyzed chemical vapor deposition as immune-sensing platform. Impressively, the home-made nanocomposite enlarged the highly accessible active sites and promoted the mass/electron transport, in turn showing the efficient synergistic catalysis towards H2O2 reduction, combined by greatly increasing the loading capacity of the PCT antibody (Ab). The as-constructed sensor displayed a dynamic linear range of 0.0001 ~ 100 ng mL-1 along with an ultra-low limit of detection (LOD = 0.011 pg mL-1, S/N = 3) and was further explored for determination of PCT in a diluted serum sample with acceptable results. The sensor provides some valuable guidelines for bioassay and early diagnosis of sepsis.

Abstract
Platinum (Pt) is widely used as an activator in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). However, the development of Pt catalyst is hindered due to its high cost and CO poisoning. A multi-metallic catalyst is a promising catalyst for fuel cells. We develop a simple and rapid method to synthesize PtNiCo/rGO nanocomposites (NCs). The PtNiCo/rGO NCs catalyst was obtained by microwave-assisted synthesis of graphene oxide (GO) with Pt, Ni, and Co precursors in ethylene glycol (EG) solution after heating for 20 min. The Pt-Ni-Co nanoparticles showed a narrow particle size distribution and were uniformly dispersed on the reduced graphene oxide without agglomeration. Compared with PtNiCo catalyst, PtNiCo/rGO NCs have superior electrocatalytic properties, including a large electrochemical active surface area (ECSA), the high catalytic activity of methanol, excellent anti-toxic properties, and high electrochemical stability. The ECSA can be up to 87.41 m2/g at a scan rate of 50 mV/s. They also have the lowest oxidation potential of CO. These excellent electrochemical performances are attributed to the uniform dispersion of PtNiCo nanoparticles, good conductivity, stability, and large specific surface area of the rGO carrier. The synthesized PtNiCo/rGO nanoparticles have an average size of 17.03 ± 1.93 nm. We also investigated the effect of catalyst material size on electrocatalytic performance, and the results indicate that PtNiCo/rGO NC catalysts can replace anode catalyst materials in fuel cell applications in the future.

Abstract
Biomolecules from plant extracts have gained significant interest in the synthesis of nanoparticles owing to their sustainable properties, cost efficiency, and environmental wellbeing. An eco-friendly and facile method has been developed to prepare Cu-Co-Ni trimetallic nanoparticles with simultaneous bio-reduction of Cu-Co-Ni metal precursors by aqueous extract of oregano (Origanum vulgare) leaves. Dramatic changes in physicochemical properties of trimetallic nanoparticles occur due to synergistic interactions between individual metal precursors, which in turn outclass the properties of corresponding monometallic nanoparticles in various aspects. The as biosynthesized Cu-Co-Ni trimetallic nanoparticles were initially analyzed using ultraviolet (UV)–visible spectroscopy. The morphology, structure, shape, and size of biosynthesized trimetallic nanoparticles were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy. The elemental analysis was carried out by energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microscopy was carried out to explain the critical role of the biomolecules in the Origanum vulgare leaf extract as capping and stabilizing agents in the nanoparticle formation. Additionally, simultaneous thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermogravimetry (DTG) analysis was also performed to estimate the mass evaluation and rate of the material weight changes. The photocatalytic activity of as biosynthesized trimetallic nanoparticles was investigated towards methylene blue (MB) dye degradation and was found to be an efficient photocatalyst for dye degradation. Kinetic experiments have shown that photocatalytic degradation of MB dye followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The mechanism of the photodegradation process of biogenic Cu-Co-Ni trimetallic nanoparticles was also addressed.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, many pathogenic bacteria have become resistant to existing antibiotics, which has become a threat to infectious disease control worldwide. Hence, there has been an extensive search for new, efficient, and alternative sources of antimicrobial agents to combat multidrug-resistant pathogenic microorganisms. Numerous studies have reported the potential of both essential oils and metal/metal oxide nanocomposites with broad spectra of bioactivities including antioxidant, anticancer, and antimicrobial attributes. However, only monometallic nanoparticles combined with essential oils have been reported on so far with limited data. Bi- and tri-metallic nanoparticles have attracted immense attention because of their diverse sizes, shapes, high surface-to-volume ratios, activities, physical and chemical stability, and greater degree of selectivity. Combination therapy is currently blooming and represents a potential area that requires greater attention and is worthy of future investigations. This review summarizes the synergistic effects of essential oils with other antimicrobial combinations such as mono-, bi-, and tri-metallic nanocomposites. Thus, the various aspects of this comprehensive review may prove useful in the development of new and alternative therapeutics against antibiotic resistant pathogens in the future.

Abstract
The porous materials of SnO2@NGO composite was synthesized by thermal reduction process at 550 °C in presence ammonia and urea as catalyst. In this process, the higher electrostatic attraction between the SnO2@NGO nanoparticles were anchored via thermal reduction reaction. These synthesized SnO2@ NGO composites were confirmed by Raman, XRD, XPS, HR-TEM, and EDX results. The SnO2 nanoparticles were anchored in the NGO composite in the controlled nanometer scale proved by FE-TEM and BET analysis. The SnO2@NGO composite was used to study the electrochemical properties of CV, GCD, and EIS analysis for supercapacitor application. The electrochemical properties of SnO2@NGO exhibited the specific capacitance (~378 F/g at a current density of 4 A/g) and increasing the cycle stability up to 5000 cycles. Therefore, the electrochemical results of SnO2@NGO composite could be promising for high-performance supercapacitor applications.

Abstract
Carboxyethyltin and first-row transition metals (TMs) were firstly introduced into trivacant Keggin-type tungstoantimonate in an aqueous solution, leading to the formation of four crystalline organic-inorganic hybrid sandwich-type polyoxometalates (POMs), formulated as Na10-x-yKyHx[((TM)(H2O)3)2(Sn(CH2)2COO)2(SbW9O33)2]·nH2O (SbW9-TM-SnR, TM = Mn, Co, Ni, Zn; x = 1, 1, 0, 0; y = 0, 5, 5, 2; n = 18, 24, 24, 22, respectively). SbW9-TM-SnR exhibit high catalytic ability for the oxidation of cyclohexanol. Meanwhile, SbW9-TM-SnR were composited with polypyrrole (PPy) through an electropolymerization process, forming PPy-SbW9-TM-SnR, on which platinum (Pt) was further electro-deposited to prepare PPy-SbW9-TM-SnR/Pt for electrocatalytic methanol (CH3OH) oxidation in acid solution. The composition and morphology of PPy-SbW9-TM-SnR/Pt were determined by IR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrochemical experimental results show that SbW9-TM-SnR and PPy obviously enhance the electrocatalytic and anti-intoxication abilities of Pt, and the highest peak current density of 0.87 mA cm-2, corresponding to 1.85 and 1.43 times higher than those of pure Pt and PPy/Pt electrodes respectively, is acquired for the PPy-SbW9-Ni-SnR/Pt composite electrode. These findings may enlarge the application of PPy and POMs in the electrocatalytic field.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of metal (Pt and Au) and metal alloy (PtAu) nanoparticles (NPs)-integrated graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) hybrids using a facile solvothermal route for water-splitting application. The metal and metal alloy NPs with varying percentages of Pt and Au are found to be in the size range of 3-5 nm and uniformly distributed on the g-C3N4 sheets. The metal and metal alloy NPs act as cocatalyst for g-C3N4 to enhance the photocatalytic activity for hydrogen (H2) generation through higher light absorption and efficient charge separation. The alloy composition plays an important role to maximize the photoactivity, with an optimized PtAu/g-C3N4 sample delivered 1009 μmol g-1 h-1 of H2. The visible light assisted photocatalytic H2 evolution is further investigated with the optimized PtAu alloy NPs-integrated g-C3N4. This study presents a robust, stable, and easily synthesizable PtAu/g-C3N4 hybrid material as a promising photocatalyst for H2 generation through water splitting.

Abstract
Photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) generation through water splitting has attracted substantial attention as a clean and renewable energy generation process that has enormous potential in converting solar-to-chemical energy using suitable photocatalysts. The major bottleneck in the development of semiconductor-based photocatalysts lies in poor light absorption and fast recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Herein we report the synthesis of CuS/TiO2 heterostructured nanocomposites with varied TiO2 contents via simple hydrothermal and solution-based process. The morphology, crystal structure, composition, and optical properties of the as-synthesized CuS/TiO2 hybrids are evaluated in detail. Controlling the CuS/TiO2 ratio to an optimum value leads to the highest photocatalytic H2 production rate of 1262 μmol h-1 g-1, which is 9.7 and 9.3 times higher than that of pristine TiO2 nanospindles and CuS nanoflakes under irradiation, respectively. The enhancement in the H2 evolution rate is attributed to increased light absorption and efficient charge separation with an optimum CuS coverage on TiO2. The photoluminescence and photoelectrochemical measurements further confirm the efficient separation of charge carriers in the CuS/TiO2 hybrid. The mechanism and synergistic role of CuS and TiO2 semiconductors for enhanced photoactivity is further delineated.
