Abstract
Galvanic replacement reaction (GRR) leverages the difference in metal reduction potentials to regulate the structure of nanomaterials. The crucial aspect of constructing highly active catalysts lies in the precise manipulation of both the oxidative dissolution of sacrificial template metals and reductive deposition of alternate metals. Herein, we investigated the morphological transformation of metal Ni as a sacrificial template in the presence of different amounts of H2PtCl6 solution and the Pt4+ substitution of Ni to achieve the redistribution of elements on the catalyst surface, which provides superior performance in both the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The uniform distribution of Pt on a three-dimensional transition metal Ni substrate allows for the complete exposure of the noble metal to the catalyst surface. This distribution increases the reaction area, facilitating easy access for reactants and promoting electron transfer. Meanwhile, Pt (1.39 Å) has a larger atomic radius compared to Ni (1.24 Å), and the substitution reaction in the transition metal phase induces strong compressive strain, which effectively regulates the electronic structure of Ni.

Abstract
Controlling the morphologies and structures of noble-metal nanocrystals has always been a frontier field in electrocatalysis. Functional molecules such as capping agents, surfactants and additives are indispensable in shape-control synthesis. Amino-based functional molecules have strong coordination abilities with metal ions, and they are widely used in the morphology control of nanocrystals. In this minireview, we pay close attention to recent advances in the use of amino-based functional molecules for the controllable synthesis of noble-metal nanocrystals. The effects of various amino-based molecules on differently shaped noble-metal nanocrystals, including zero-, one-, two-, and three-dimensional nanocrystals, are reviewed and summarized. The roles and mechanisms of amino-based small molecules and long-chain ammonium salts relating to the morphology-control synthesis of noble-metal nanocrystals are highlighted. Relationships between shape and electrocatalytic properties are also described. Finally, some key prospects and challenges relating to the controllable synthesis of noble-metal nanocrystals and their electrocatalytic applications are proposed.

Abstract
Hollow multimetallic noble nanoalloys with high surface area/volume ratio, abundant active sites, and relatively effective catalytic activity have attracted considerable research interest. Traditional noble nanoalloys fabricated by hydro-/solvothermal methods usually involve harsh synthetic conditions such as high temperatures and intricate processing. We proposed a simple and mild strategy to synthesize platinum- and palladium-decorated hollow gold-based nanoalloys by the galvanic replacement reaction (GRR) at room temperature using hollow gold nanoparticles as templates and mercury as an intermediate. The hollow gold nanoparticles were essential for increasing the number of surface-active sites of the obtained multimetallic nanoalloys, and the introduction of mercury can eliminate the influence of the electrochemical potential of Pt/Pd with Au in the GRRs, increase alloying degrees, and maintain the nanoalloys that exhibit the hollow nanostructures. The structural characterizations of the hollow nanoalloys were studied by means of high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. On the basis of the electrochemical catalytic measurements, the platinum-exposed nanoalloys were found to have excellent electrocatalytic activities. Especially in the presence of palladium, owing to the synergistic effect, the quaternary AuHgPdPt hollow nanoalloy displayed a low overpotential of 38 mV at 10 mA cm-2 with a small Tafel slope of 56.23 mV dec-1 for the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction. In addition, this approach not only expands the application range of the galvanic replacement reaction but also provides new ideas for the preparation of multialloys and even high-entropy alloys at room temperature.

Abstract
The ever-increasing need for the production and expenditure of sustainable energy is a result of the astonishing rate of consumption of fossil fuels and the accompanying environmental problems. Emphasis is being directed to the generation of sustainable energy by the fuel cell and water splitting technologies. Accordingly, the development of highly efficient electrocatalysts has attracted significant interest, as the fuel cell and water splitting technologies are critically dependent on their performance. Among numerous catalyst designs under investigation, nanoframe catalysts have an intrinsically large surface area per volume and a tunable composition, which impacts the number of catalytically active sites and their intrinsic catalytic activity, respectively. Nevertheless, the structural integrity of the nanoframe during electrochemical operation is an ongoing concern. Some significant advances in the field of nanoframe catalysts have been recently accomplished, specifically geared to resolving the catalytic stability concerns and significantly boosting the intrinsic catalytic activity of the active sites. Herein, general synthetic concepts of nanoframe structures and their structure-dependent catalytic performance are summarized, along with recent notable advances in this field. A discussion on the remaining challenges and future directions, addressing the limitations of nanoframe catalysts, are also provided.
