Title: Bimetallic Janus Nanocrystals: Syntheses and Applications
Abstract

Bimetallic Janus nanocrystals have received considerable interest in recent years owing to their unique properties and niche applications. The side‐by‐side distribution of two distinct metals provides a flexible platform for tailoring the optical and catalytic properties of nanocrystals. First, a brief introduction to the structural features of bimetallic Janus nanocrystals, followed by an extensive discussion of the synthetic approaches, is given. The strategies and experimental controls for achieving the Janus structure, as well as the mechanistic understandings, are specifically discussed. Then, a number of intriguing properties and applications enabled by the Janus nanocrystals are highlighted. Finally, this article is concluded with future directions and outlooks with respect to both syntheses and applications of this new class of functional nanomaterials.

    Galvanic replacement reactions are a reliable method for transforming monometallic nanotemplates into bimetallic products with complex nanoscale architectures. When replacing bimetallic nanotemplates, even more complex multimetallic products can be made, with final nanocrystal shapes and architectures depending on multiple processes, including Ostwald ripening and the Kirkendall effect. Galvanic replacement, therefore, is a promising tool in increasing the architectural complexity of multimetallic templates, especially if we can identify and control the relevant processes in a given system and apply them more broadly. Here, we study the transformation of intermetallic PdCu nanoparticles in the presence of HAuCl 4 and H 2 PtCl 6 , both of which are capable of oxidizing both Pd and Cu. Replacement products consistently lost Cu more quickly than Pd, preserved the crystal structure of the original intermetallic template, and grew a new phase on the sacrificial template. In this way, atomic and nanometer-scale architectures are integrated within individual nanocrystals. Product morphologies included faceting of the original spherical particles as well as formation of core@shell and Janus-style particles. These variations are rationalized in terms of differing diffusion behaviors. Overall, galvanic replacement of multimetallic templates is shown to be a route toward increasingly exotic particle architectures with control exerted on both Angstrom and nanometer-scale features, while inviting further consideration of template and oxidant choices.

    Abstract

    Facet‐selective etching and deposition, as determined by the landscape of surface energy, represent two powerful methods for the transformation of noble‐metal nanocrystals into nanostructures with complex shapes or morphologies. This review highlights the use of these two methods, including integration of them, for the fabrication of novel monometallic and bimetallic nanostructures with enhanced properties. We start with an introduction to the role of surface capping in controlling the facet‐selective etching or deposition on the surface of Ag nanocrystals, followed by a case study of how to maneuver etching and deposition at different facets of Pd nanocrystals for the fabrication of nanoframes. We then introduce the use of galvanic replacement to accomplish selective etching and deposition on two different facets in an orthogonal manner, transforming Pd nanocubes into Pd−Pt octapods. By complementing galvanic replacement with a chemical reduction reaction, it is also feasible to control the rates of these two reactions for the conversion of Ag nanocubes into Ag@Ag−Au concave nanocubes and Ag@Au core‐shell nanocubes. These transformation methods not only greatly increase the shape diversity of metal nanocrystals but also offer nanocrystals with enhanced plasmonic and/or catalytic properties.

    Abstract

    Bimetallic nanocrystals (NCs), associated with various surface functions such as ligand effect, ensemble effect, and strain effect, exhibit superior electrocatalytic properties. The stress‐induced surface strain effect can alter binding strength between the surface active sites and reactants as well as their intermediates, and the electrochemical performance of bimetallic NCs can be significantly facilitated by the lattice‐strain modification via their morphologies, sizes, shell‐thickness, surface defectiveness as well as compositions. In this review, an overview of fundamental principles, characterization techniques, and quantitative determination of the surface lattice strain is provided. Various strategies and synthesis efforts on creating lattice‐strain‐engineered bimetallic NCs, including the de‐alloying process, atomic layer‐by‐layer deposition, thermal treatment evolution, one‐pot synthesis, and other efforts are also discussed. It is further outlined how the lattice strain effect promotes electrochemical catalysis through the selected case studies. The reactions on oxygen reduction reaction, small molecular oxidation, water splitting reaction, and electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reactions are focused. In particular, studies of lattice strain arisen from core–shell nanostructure and defectiveness are highlighted. Lastly, the potential challenges are summarized and the prospects of lattice‐strain‐based engineering on bimetallic nanocatalysts with suggestion and guidance of the future electrocatalyst design are envisioned.

    This report highlights recent progress in the rational design, synthesis, and applications of bimetallic nanocrystals with integrated SERS and catalytic activities. The ultimate goal is to develop bifunctional nanocrystals as a SERS probe for monitoring a catalytic reaction in situ . We first introduce seeded growth as a facile and powerful route to the syntheses of bifunctional nanocrystals with catalytic activities arising from Au or Pd, in addition to plasmonic properties originating from Ag or Au. Specifically, we discuss two distinctive pathways, namely conformal and site-selected deposition of a second metal on the surface of a noble-metal nanocrystal seed, for the fabrication of bifunctional nanocrystals with controlled composition and morphology. We then discuss the application of these bifunctional nanocrystals as unique probes for in situ SERS monitoring of the Au or Pd-catalyzed reduction of 4-nitrothiophenol to 4-aminothiophenol by NaBH 4 and the Ag-catalyzed oxidation of 4-aminothiophenol to trans -4,4′-dimercaptoazobenzene by the O 2 from air. We conclude this review with perspectives on the future development.

    Abstract

    By combining the unique characteristics of molecular bottlebrushes (MBBs) and the properties of stimuli‐responsive polymers, we show that MBBs with randomly grafted poly(n‐butyl acrylate) and pH‐responsive poly(2‐(N,N‐diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDEAEMA) side chains are efficient and robust pH‐responsive emulsifiers. Water‐in‐toluene emulsions were formed at pH 4.0 and disrupted by increasing the pH to 10.0. The emulsion generation and disruption was reversible over the ten cycles investigated, and the bottlebrushes remained intact. The exceptional emulsion stability stemmed from the high interfacial binding energy of MBBs, imparted by their large molecular size and Janus architecture at the interface, as evidenced by the interfacial jamming and wrinkling of the assemblies upon reducing the interfacial area. At pH 10.0, PDEAEMA became water‐insoluble, and the MBBs desorbed from the interface, causing de‐emulsification. Consequently, we have shown that the judicious design of MBBs can generate properties of particle emulsifiers from their large size, while the responsiveness of the MBBs enables more potential applications.
