  • Electrochemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Bimetallic heterostructures offer enhanced electrocatalytic properties over monometallic nanoparticles.
  • Precise control over elemental composition and spatial arrangement in bimetallic nanoparticles is challenging.

  • To achieve precise and independent control over elemental distribution and spatial arrangement.
  • To enable efficient screening of advanced electrocatalytic materials.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized dual-channel scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) for in situ dynamic modulation of the local ionic environment.
  • Employed adjusted deposition bias between SECCM channels for selective electrodeposition.
  • Demonstrated temporal control over solution conditions for synthesizing multi-layer core-shell nanoparticles.

Main Results:

  • Successfully synthesized heterostructured bimetallic nanoparticles with independent control over elemental distribution.
  • Fabricated multi-layer core-shell structures (e.g., Cu@Pt, Pt@Cu) with tunable thickness, number, and sequence of layers.
  • Demonstrated the method's efficacy with Pt-Cu and Pt-Ni systems.

Conclusions:

  • The developed electrosynthesis method provides high spatial resolution and on-demand control over complex multi-metallic heterostructures.
