Amorphous materials are metastable solids with only short-range order at the atomic scale,
which results from local intermolecular chemical bonding. The lack of long-range order …

As a key structural parameter, phase depicts the arrangement of atoms in materials.
Normally, a nanomaterial exists in its thermodynamically stable crystal phase. With the …

Designing efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts with excellent activity and robust stability
presents a central challenge for the large‐scale commercialization of water electrolysis …

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a key reaction for many electrochemical devices. To
date, many OER electrocatalysts function well in alkaline media, but exhibit poor …

Controlling the synthesis of metal nanostructures is one approach for catalyst engineering
and performance optimization in electrocatalysis. As an emerging class of unconventional …

Phase has emerged as an important structural parameter—in addition to composition,
morphology, architecture, facet, size and dimensionality—that determines the properties and …

Crystalline–amorphous hybrid materials (CA-HMs) possess the merits of both pure
crystalline and amorphous phases. Abundant dangling bonds, unsaturated coordination …

Due to the high stability, various synthesis strategies, low cost, and tunable performance,
nanozymes have gained much attention as the replacement of natural enzymes. To widen …

The stoichiometric photocatalytic reaction of CO2 with H2O is one of the great challenges in
photocatalysis. Here, we construct a Cu2O-Pt/SiC/IrOx composite by a controlled …

Noble metal nanomaterials have been widely used as catalysts. Common techniques for the
synthesis of noble metal often result in crystalline nanostructures. The synthesis of …
