TL;DR: A highly active and durable class of electrocatalysts is synthesized by exploiting the structural evolution of platinum-nickel (Pt-Ni) bimetallic nanocrystals by exploitingThe starting material, crystalline PtNi3 polyhedra, transforms in solution by interior erosion into Pt3Ni nanoframes with surfaces that offer three-dimensional molecular accessibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
A generalized ligand-exchange strategy enabling sequential surface functionalization of colloidal nanocrystals.
Angang Dong,Xingchen Ye,Jun Chen,Yijin Kang,Thomas R. Gordon,James M. Kikkawa,Christopher B. Murray +6 more
TL;DR: A facile ligand-exchange approach is reported, which enables sequential surface functionalization and phase transfer of colloidal NCs while preserving the NC size and shape and represents an important step toward controllably engineering the surface properties of NCs.

Improved Size-Tunable Synthesis of Monodisperse Gold Nanorods through the Use of Aromatic Additives
Xingchen Ye,Linghua Jin,Humeyra Caglayan,Jun Chen,Guozhong Xing,Chen Zheng,Vicky V. T. Doan-Nguyen,Yijin Kang,Nader Engheta,Cherie R. Kagan,Christopher B. Murray +10 more
TL;DR: An improved synthesis of colloidal gold nanorods (NRs) is reported by using aromatic additives that reduce the concentration of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactant to ~0.05 M as opposed to 0.1 M in well-established protocols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activity–Stability Trends for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction on Monometallic Oxides in Acidic Environments
Nemanja Danilovic,Ramachandran Subbaraman,Kee-Chul Chang,Seo Hyoung Chang,Yijin Kang,Joshua Snyder,Arvydas P. Paulikas,Dusan Strmcnik,Yong-Tae Kim,Deborah J. Myers,Vojislav R. Stamenkovic,Nenad M. Markovic +11 more
TL;DR: It is found that the most active oxides are, in fact, the least stable materials, and the best materials for the OER should balance stability and activity in such a way that the dissolution rate is neither too fast nor too slow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ag–Sn Bimetallic Catalyst with a Core–Shell Structure for CO2 Reduction
Wesley Luc,Charles V. Collins,Siwen Wang,Hongliang Xin,Kai He,Yijin Kang,Yijin Kang,Feng Jiao +7 more
TL;DR: This work proposes a strategy to synthesize Ag-Sn electrocatalysts with a core-shell nanostructure that contains a bimetallic core responsible for high electronic conductivity and an ultrathin partially oxidized shell for catalytic CO2 conversion, and demonstrated a remarkable performance in comparison to state-of-the-art formate-selective CO2 reduction catalysts.
