Symmetry breaking enhances the catalytic and electrocatalytic performance of core/shell tetrametallic porous nanoparticles
Spherical and symmetry-broken Au core particles are used to synthesize tetrametallic (Au@mPdPtIr) porous nanocatalysts. Symmetry breaking of the core significantly improves the catalytic activity in various catalytic and electrocatalytic reactions.
Stretchable photosensors with InN nanowires operating at a wavelength of 1.3 μm
Stretchable photosensors, which operate in the wavelength window of 1.3 μm, were fabricated with InN nanowires (NWs) and graphene to serve as a light-absorbing medium and carrier channel, respectively.
