Journal ArticleDOI
Atomic Layer-by-Layer Deposition of Pt on Pd Nanocubes for Catalysts with Enhanced Activity and Durability toward Oxygen Reduction
Shuifen Xie,Sang-Il Choi,Ning Lu,Luke T. Roling,Jeffrey A. Herron,Lei Zhang,Lei Zhang,Jinho Park,Jinguo Wang,Moon J. Kim,Zhaoxiong Xie,Manos Mavrikakis,Younan Xia +12 more
TL;DR: Both theoretical and experimental studies indicate that the ORR specific activity was maximized for the catalysts based on Pd@Pt2-3L nanocubes, which showed enhancements in specific activity and durability toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).
Journal ArticleDOI
Platinum concave nanocubes with high-index facets and their enhanced activity for oxygen reduction reaction
TL;DR: The first synthesis of Pt concave nanocubes enclosed by high-index facets by slowly adding an aqueous NaBH4 solution and a mixture containing K2PtCl4, KBr, and Na2H2P2O7 into deionized water by using two syringe pumps is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bottom-Up and Top-Down Approaches to the Synthesis of Monodispersed Spherical Colloids of Low Melting-Point Metals
Yuliang Wang,Younan Xia +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, two solution-based approaches have been proposed to process metals with melting points below 400 °C as monodispersed spherical colloids, in copious quantities, and with diameters controllable in the range of 100 to 600 nm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facile Synthesis of Gold-Silver Nanocages with Controllable Pores on the Surface
TL;DR: Gold-silver alloy nanocages with controllable pores on the surface have been synthesized via galvanic replacement reaction between truncated Ag nanocubes and aqueous HAuCl4 using poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) as capping agent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrospinning of nanofibers with core-sheath, hollow, or porous structures
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of electrospinning in the fabrication of polymeric, ceramic, and composite nanofibers with core-sheath, hollow, or porous structures, as well as the efforts made to improve their morphological homogeneity, functionality, and device performance are highlighted.
