Protocol
A Single SnO2 Nanowire-Based Microelectrode
SnO2 nanowires are synthesized via the chemical-vapor-deposition process using gold as the catalyst and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution tran...

Synthesis of spatially uniform metal alloys nanocrystals via a diffusion controlled growth strategy: The case of Au-Pd alloy trisoctahedral nanocrystals with tunable composition
Rational synthesis of bimetallic alloy nanocrystals (NCs) is still a great challenge. Especially, spatially uniform alloy NCs are very difficult to achieve because of the different reduction rates of the indiv...

Hierarchical WO3 flowers comprising porous single-crystalline nanoplates show enhanced lithium storage and photocatalysis
We report a morphology-conserved transformation approach to successfully synthesize a unique porous WO3 nanoplate assembly, which is hierarchically structured like a flower, from an ammonium tungsten peroxo oxala...

N-doped carbon shell encapsulated PtZn intermetallic nanoparticles as highly efficient catalysts for fuel cells
The high cost and poor durability of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) have always been great challenges to the commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Pt-based intermetallic NPs with a highly ...
