Magnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Stabilization, Vectorization, Physicochemical Characterizations, and Biological Applications

Nanocrystals are fundamental to modern science and technology. Mastery over the shape of a nanocrystal enables control of its properties and enhancement of its usefulness for a given application. Our aim is to present a comprehensive review of current research activities that center on the shape-controlled synthesis of metal nanocrystals. We begin with a brief introduction to nucleation and growth within the context of metal nanocrystal synthesis, followed by a discussion of the possible shapes that a metal nanocrystal might take under different conditions. We then focus on a variety of experimental parameters that have been explored to manipulate the nucleation and growth of metal nanocrystals in solution-phase syntheses in an effort to generate specific shapes. We then elaborate on these approaches by selecting examples in which there is already reasonable understanding for the observed shape control or at least the protocols have proven to be reproducible and controllable. Finally, we highlight a number of applications that have been enabled and/or enhanced by the shape-controlled synthesis of metal nanocrystals. We conclude this article with personal perspectives on the directions toward which future research in this field might take.

Shape‐Controlled Synthesis of Metal Nanocrystals: Simple Chemistry Meets Complex Physics?

Nitrogen-doped graphene can be used for lithium storage, but the nitrogen content is often quite low. Here, the authors synthesize graphene analogous with high nitrogen content using a zeolitic imidazolate framework, which show exceptional battery performances.

High lithium anodic performance of highly nitrogen-doped porous carbon prepared from a metal-organic framework

Graphene has attracted increasing attention in different scientific fields including catalysis. Via modification with foreign metal-free elements such as nitrogen, its unique electronic and spin structure can be changed and these doped graphene sheets have been successfully employed in some catalytic reactions recently, showing them to be promising catalysts for a wide range of reactions. In this review, we summarize the recent advancements of these new and interesting catalysts, with an emphasis on the universal origin of their catalytic mechanisms. We are full of hope for future developments, such as more precisely controlled doping methods, atom-scale surface characterization technology, generating more active catalysts via doping, and finding wide applications in many different fields.

Doped graphene for metal-free catalysis.

The scalable production of hydrogen could conveniently be realized by alkaline water electrolysis. Currently, the major challenge confronting hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is lacking inexpensive alternatives to platinum-based electrocatalysts. Here we report a high-efficient and stable electrocatalyst composed of ruthenium and cobalt bimetallic nanoalloy encapsulated in nitrogen-doped graphene layers. The catalysts display remarkable performance with low overpotentials of only 28 and 218 mV at 10 and 100 mA cm−2, respectively, and excellent stability of 10,000 cycles. Ruthenium is the cheapest platinum-group metal and its amount in the catalyst is only 3.58 wt.%, showing the catalyst high activity at a very competitive price. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the introduction of ruthenium atoms into cobalt core can improve the efficiency of electron transfer from alloy core to graphene shell, beneficial for enhancing carbon–hydrogen bond, thereby lowing ΔGH* of HER. Ruthenium is the cheapest platinum-group metal, yet active hydrogen evolution catalysts with low amounts of ruthenium have yet to be designed. Here, the authors report the preparation of a ruthenium–cobalt nanoalloy and demonstrate its potential as an effective hydrogen evolution catalyst in basic media.

Non-precious metal based catalysts are emerging as the most promising alternatives to Pt-based ones for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to their low cost and rich reserves. However, their low efficiency and stability due to inherent corrosion and oxidation in acid media are the main barriers blocking sustainable hydrogen production. Metal–organic frameworks, with both designable metal ion centers and organic ligands, are promising precursors for the one-step synthesis of metal/alloy@carbon composites for HER. Herein, we synthesized FeCo alloy nanoparticles encapsulated in highly nitrogen-doped (8.2 atom%) graphene layers by direct annealing of MOF nanoparticles at 600 °C in N2. The catalyst shows a low onset overpotential (88 mV) and an overpotential of only 262 mV at 10 mA cm−2. Besides, it exhibits an excellent long-term durability performance even after 10 000 cycles due to the protection of the graphene layers. Our density functional theory calculations reveal that the nitrogen dopants can provide adsorption sites for H* and the appropriate increase of nitrogen will decrease ΔGH* for HER. Besides, the unique structure of the metal and graphene composites derived from MOFs can also decrease ΔGH* thereby promoting the catalytic activity.
