TL;DR: In this article, the authors review potential pathways for increasing the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of low-Pt and nonplatinum Pd-Me, Ru-Se and heat-treated MeNxCy based catalysts.

TL;DR: Pd-Au/C and Pd-Ag/C were found to have a unique characteristic of evolving high-quality hydrogen dramatically and steadily from the catalyzed decomposition of liquid formic acid at convenient temperature, and further this was improved by the addition of CeO(2)(H(2)O)(x).

TL;DR: In this paper, the Pt-Pd alloy nanoflowers with dominant 111 facets were successfully synthesized through a facile cochemical reduction method in a poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) based aqueous solution, and detailed morphology, composition, and structure of the Pt -Pd ANFs were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected-area electron diffraction (SAED), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS), nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms (SADI), EDS

TL;DR: Compared with bare Si spheres, the as-synthesized Si@G network exhibits markedly enhanced anodic performance in terms of specific capacity, cycling stability, and rate capability, making it an ideal anode candidate for high-energy, long-life, and high-power lithium-ion batteries.

TL;DR: The synthesis of platinum-copper bimetallic alloy nanodendrites (Pt-Cu BANDs) by a facile, one-pot, templateless, and seedless hydrothermal method in the presence of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and formaldehyde (HCHO) shows higher electrocatalytic activity and stability than commercially available Pt black.
