This article provides a progress report on the use of galvanic replacement for generating
complex hollow nanostructures with tunable and well‐controlled properties. We begin with a …

Dealloying, which is traditionally originated in the research of alloy corrosion, has recently
been developed as a robust and generic method for fabricating functional 3D nanoporous …

The use of metal organic frameworks as hard templates for the preparation of
heterogeneous catalysts is thoroughly reviewed. In this critical article, the main factors to …

Platinum (Pt)-based materials are the first choice as the electrocatalyts for many
electrochemical reactions including those in fuel cells and electrolyzers due to their …

Fuel cell reactions invariably involve an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the cathode,
which is one of the main rate-decreasing steps on platinum (Pt)-catalysts in the water …

Nobel metal nanomaterials (NMNs) with interesting physical and chemical properties are
ideal building blocks for engineering and tailoring nanoscale structures for specific …
