Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is one of the most effective methods to
convert CO2 into useful fuels. Introducing defects into metal nanostructures can effectively …

Ultrathin gold nanowires (AuUNWs) and nanorods (AuUNRs) with diameters smaller than
the critical dimension for quantization (∼ 2 nm), are a new class of anisotropic …

We present a study of the elastic and plastic behavior of nanoporous gold in compression,
focusing on molecular dynamics simulation and inspecting experimental data for verification …

One-dimensional (1D) Au nanowires with narrow diameters and high aspect ratios have
attracted increasing attention because of their distinctive physicochemical properties and …

Understanding of the atomic structure and stability of nanowires (NWs) is critical for their
applications in nanotechnology, especially when the diameter of NWs reduces to ultrathin …

Comprehensive understanding of the structural/morphology stability of ultrathin (diameter<
10 nm) gold nanowires under real service conditions (such as under Joule heating) is a …

The suggestion, based on atomistic simulation, of a surface-induced tension− compression
asymmetry of the strength and flow stress of small metal bodies so far lacks experimental …

The present work introduces a new way to prepare Au–Pd alloy nanowire networks (NWNs)
via deposition of Pd atoms onto Au nanowires in reaction media at room temperature without …

Ultrathin bimetallic nanowires are of importance and interest for applications in electronic
devices such as sensors and heterogeneous catalysts. In this work, we have designed a …

It is well known that the activity and stability of electrocatalysts are largely dependent on their
surface facets. In this work, we have successfully regulated surface facets of three …
