Diabetic patients frequently suffer from skin ulcers exacerbated by bacterial infections. Cu 2 O nanozymes present a promising antibacterial alternative to antibiotics due to their enzyme-like catalytic activity. However, their efficacy is hindered by the low H 2 O 2 concentration in the bacterial microenvironment and the slow electron transfer during catalysis. To mitigate these limitations, we exploited Cu 2 O's intrinsic reducing ability to grow Au–Pt nanoparticles, thereby creating Cu 2 O@Au–Pt nanoreactors. Subsequently, we fabricated Cu 2 O@Au–Pt/Polycaprolactone skin scaffolds using laser powder bed fusion. In the scaffold, Cu 2 O catalyzed H 2 O 2 to produce hydroxyl radicals, inducing bacterial apoptosis. Au–Pt nanoparticles enhanced this catalysis in three manners: by providing additional H 2 O 2 through glucose oxidation, elevating the reaction temperature via plasmonic resonance, and facilitating electron transfer through metal-support interactions. Photothermal experiments and simulations illuminated the near-field coupling and interface hotspot formation mechanisms in the Cu 2 O@Au–Pt hybrid structure, boosting the catalytic rate at the interface. DFT calculations and electrochemical tests verified a reduced energy barrier for electron transfer in the Cu 2 O@Au–Pt system, enhancing its redox capability. Upon NIR irradiation, the scaffold increased intracellular ROS by 84.5 % and achieved a 99.9 % antibacterial efficacy against E. coli. These findings highlight the potential of the Cu 2 O@Au–Pt nanozyme scaffold for treating diabetic wounds.

This study presents an easy and rapid two-step electrodeposition method for the synthesis of a novel hierarchical dendritic AuPt bimetallic nanocomposite electrode. Ascorbic acid served as both a reducing and directing agent, while a roughened carbon substrate facilitated the formation of the unique dendritic nanostructure. The structural and compositional properties of the synthesized material were comprehensively characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The resulting nanocomposite exhibited a significantly enhanced specific surface area of 6.97 m2g−1, compared to commercial Pt/C. Electrochemical investigations demonstrated superior electrocatalytic activity and durability for methanol oxidation in the prepared AuPt nanocomposite electrode, suggesting its promising potential for fuel cell applications.

Production of peroxodisulphate (S2O82–) on powdered photocatalysts is a promising way to obtain high-value-added chemicals using solar energy; however, it is still suffering from low efficiency. In the present work, we fabricated bimetallic Au core and Pt shell nanoparticle-loaded WO3 (Au@Pt/WO3) photocatalyst for enhanced production of S2O82–, which is 1.7 times that of Pt nanoparticle-loaded WO3 (Pt/WO3), and was reported to be the best catalyst for S2O82– production. A further study demonstrated that the electronic interaction of Pt was successfully modulated by the core–shell nanoparticle architecture, and the core–shell nanoparticle structure between Au and Pt improved the formation of the surface chemical state of Pt to be metallic Pt, proposed as the active site for oxygen reduction. Besides, the core–shell nanoparticle structure also exposed a large amount of Pt on the surface of the substrate. As a result, Au@Pt/WO3 showed significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity of S2O82– with a quantum efficiency of 5.2% at 420 nm, whereas Pt–Au bimetallic alloy nanoparticle-loaded WO3 with a large amount of surface PtOx and exposed both Au and Pt on the surface showed very low activity. This work provides insights into the bimetallic Pt nanoparticle-loaded WO3 for enhanced photocatalytic activity.

Plasmon-driven catalysis of metal nanostructures has garnered wide interest. Here, a photogenerated plasmonic hot-electron painting strategy was reported to form Au@Pt composite nanoparticles (Au@Pt NPs) with high catalytic reactivity without using reducing agents. Au nanoparticles, including Au nanospheres (Au NSs), Au nanorods (Au NRs), and Au nanobipyramids (Au NBPs), generated hot electrons under localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) excitation, which made the platinum precursor reduced as a consequence that Pt(0) atoms were painted on the surface of Au NPs to form an asymmetric Pt shell outside the plasmonic Au core. Compared with bare Au NPs, Au@Pt NPs exhibited significantly enhanced electrocatalytic activity toward reduction of H2O2 due to the bimetallic synergistic effect and great dispersion of Au@Pt NP-modified indium tin oxide (Au@Pt NPs/ITO). It exhibited a linear detection of H2O2 in a wide concentration range from 0.5 to 1000 μM with a low detection limit of 0.11 μM (S/N = 3). Therefore, the plasmonic hot-electron-painted Au@Pt NPs represent a novel and simple method for the design of advanced noble asymmetric metal nanomaterials.

Here we report the peroxidase-like [email protected] nanozyme as an integrated nanosensor for selective detection of silver ions (Ag + ), where the nanozyme plays the roles as both the signal trigger and reporter simultaneously. This method relies on two critical chemical reactions, including (1) the unique inhibitory effect of Ag + on the nanozyme triggered H 2 O 2 decomposition at weak acid environment and (2) H 2 O 2 induced Ag + reduction onto the nanozyme surface at basic environment, leading to a blueshift in the localized surface plasmonic resonance wavelength (LSPR λ max ) of the nanosensor. With this simple strategy, we demonstrated the sensitive and selective detection of Ag + over a dynamic range from 0.5 to 1000 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 500 nM by UV–visible spectroscopy, which is below the permitted level of Ag + in drinking water by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This method also exhibits satisfying recovery efficiency for Ag + detection both in tap water and spring water from the Yuelu Mountain. With this satisfying sensing performance and excellent stability of nanoprobes, this strategy is promising for the detection of Ag + in environment monitoring and food safety analysis.

In this work, we report a novel Au-Pt bimetallic nanoparticles (Au-PtNPs) decorated on the surface of nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) functionalized with 1, 3, 6, 8-pyrene tetra sulfonic acid sodium salt (PyTS) by direct electrodeposition method. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electrochemical impendence spectrum (EIS) reveal that the Au-PtNPs were successfully anchored on the surface of NG sheets with a diameter of 20–40 nm. Further, the prepared Au-PtNPs/PyTS-NG nanocomposite exhibits superior catalytic activity for the oxidation of nitrite. Under optimal experimental conditions, an amperometric sensor with a linear range of 0.5–1621 μM and a detection limit of 0.19 μM (S/N=3) for the detection of nitrite was set up and applied to real samples.

Mercury ion (Hg2+) is toxic and can severely damage the environment and human health. Therefore, sensitive and selective Hg2+ detection methods are needed. Here, we synthesized dendritic silica nanospheres (DSN) with central-radial porous structures and immobilized Au and Pt nanoparticles into their pores. The synthesized DSN with Au and Pt nanoparticles (AuPt@DSN) exhibited superior peroxidase-like activity, stability, and dispersibility. We found that AuPt@DSN can specifically reduce Hg2+, leading to the decreased catalytic activity of the nanozymes. Under optimal testing conditions, the AuPt@DSN material was efficiently used for the visual detection of Hg2+. The detection limit was 8.58 pM with a linear range from 0.1 nM to 10 μM. Selectivity toward Hg2+ has also been demonstrated in aqueous solutions in the presence of other metal ions. This strategy is simple to utilize and has a low cost and rapid response. The practicability was further investigated by analyzing complex water samples, which suggests its potential for mercury evaluation in environmental samples.

Multimodal lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has displayed its potential to improve practicability and elasticity of point-of-care testing. Herein, multifunctional core-shell-shell Au@Pt@Ag NPs loaded with dual-layer Raman reporter molecules of 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) with a characteristic combination of color-photothermal-Raman performance were constructed for colorimetric LFIA (CM-LFIA), photothermal LFIA (PT-LFIA) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based LFIA (SERS-LFIA), respectively. The highly specific nanoprobes , being obtained through the combination of the resulted dual-layer DTNB modified Au@Pt@Ag NPs with the antibody, were triumphantly utilized in exploring multimodal LFIA with one visual qualitative and two optional quantitative modes with excellent sensing sensitivity. Under optimal conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) for the model hazardous analyte dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) were 1.0 ng mL −1 for CM-LFIA, 0.42 ng mL −1 for PT-LFIA, and 0.013 ng mL −1 for SERS-LFIA, three of which were over 100-fold, 200-fold and 7 000-fold more sensitive than conventional visual AuNPs-based LFIA, respectively. In addition, the quantitative PT-LFIA and SERS-LFIA sensors worked well in spiked real samples with acceptable recoveries of 96.2 – 106.7% and 98.2 – 105.2%, respectively. This assay demonstrated that the developed multimodal LFIA had a great potential to be a powerful tool for accurate tracing hazardous analytes in complex samples.

Metallic nanocrystals with abundant metastable twin boundaries have demonstrated great potential in prompting the improvement of electrocatalytic reactivity, such as alcohol oxidation reaction (AOR) in fuel cell applications. However, modulating the lattice and electronic structures of such twin-rich nanocatalysts to optimize the AOR activity remains a huge challenge. Herein, jagged Au-Pt bimetallic nanowires with abundant twin boundaries along the 〈1 1 1〉 direction have been constructed via a seeded synthesis method. Importantly, the lattice strain and electronic structures of Pt in the twin-rich nanowires have been feasibly tuned, resulting in the regulation of AOR performances. Impressively, the jagged AuPt3 nanowires, with an atomic ratio of ∼1:3, exhibit the highest mass activity toward ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) and methanol oxidation reaction (MOR), outperforming AuPt9, AuPt, Pt nanowires and commercial Pt/C catalysts. The structure–activity correlation for the AOR follows a volcano-shaped curve with the increase of Pt ratios. Theoretical results suggest the weakened bonding of Pt-CO and strengthened Pt-OH on the AuPt3 (1 1 1)-twin site. Our work develops a simple yet effective method to synthesize twin-rich bimetallic nanostructures with controlled lattice strain and illustrates their structure-dependent properties, opening the way to develop high-performance electrocatalysts for promising applications.

Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs), which have been widely recognized as nontoxic and green energy conversion devices, show attractive application prospects for liquid hydrogen-carriers, due to the higher specific energy and lower toxicity of ethanol. Pt-based catalysts are widely used in DEFCs, while their poor poisoning resistance highlights the importance of composition and structure optimization. Herein, we synthesized a series of reduced graphene oxide supported ternary alloy AuxPt1−xCu3/rGO (x = 0-1) catalysts with excellent ethanol oxidation performance and a composition-dependent volcano plot trend of the ordering degree was observed and rationalized. The highest Pt-normalized mass activity of Au0.8Pt0.2Cu3/rGO is attributed to the optimized CO binding energy according to DFT calculations. This work not only provides an efficient EOR catalyst based on ordered alloys AuxPt1−xCu3 (x = 0-1), but also offers valuable insight into the role of a third metal in tuning the structure and function of alloys.

Au@Pt nanozyme, a bimetallic core–shell structure Au and Pt nanoparticle, has attracted significant attention due to its excellent catalytic activity and stability. Here, we propose that Au@Pt improves glucose tolerance and reduces TG after four weeks administration. The transcriptomic analysis of mouse liver tissues treated with Au@Pt nanozyme showed changes in genes related to glucose and lipid metabolism signaling pathways, including glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, pyruvate metabolism, PPAR signaling, and insulin signaling. Moreover, analysis of fecal samples from mice treated with Au@Pt nanozyme showed significant changes in the abundance of beneficial gut microbiota such as Dubosiella , Parvibacter , Enterorhabdus , Monoglobus , Lachnospiraceae_UCG-008 , Lachnospiraceae_UCG-006 , Lachnospiraceae_UCG-001 , and Christensenellaceae_R-7_group . Combined multi-omics correlation analyses revealed that the modulation of glucose and lipid metabolism by Au@Pt was strongly correlated with changes in hepatic gene expression profiles as well as changes in gut microbial profiles. Overall, our integrated multi-omics analysis demonstrated that Au@Pt nanozyme could modulate glucose and lipid metabolism by regulating the expression of key genes in the liver and altering the composition of gut microbiota, providing new insights into the potential applications of Au@Pt nanozyme in the treatment of metabolic disorder.

Semiconductor-metal
heterostructured nanomaterials, featuring efficient
electron-transfer pathways, excellent light-harvesting capability,
and effective separation of photogenerated charge carriers, have emerged
as highly promising candidates for photocatalytic hydrogen production.
In this study, a thin Ag transitional layer was first deposited onto
the surface of Au NBPs, followed by growth to construct heterostructures
featuring pairwise interfacial contact among Au, Pt, and CdS. Morphological
and compositional characterizations reveal that Pt is located at the
tips of the Au NBPs and CdS grows at the midsection, resulting in
a unique heterostructure characterized by remarkably distinctive pairwise
contacts. Experiments show that the Au-Pt-CdS heterostructures exhibit
hydrogen-production efficiencies about 8 times higher than that of
Au-CdS heterostructures and approximately 223 times higher than that
of Au-Pt heterostructures, and also demonstrates excellent photocatalytic
stability. Owing to the work function difference between the metal
and the semiconductor, this heterostructure generates unique band
bending and an intrinsic electric field at the interface, effectively
facilitating the separation and multipath directional transport of
photogenerated charge carriers, thereby significantly enhancing the
rate of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Our study provides valuable
guidance for the rational design of high-efficiency semiconductor-metal
heterostructured photocatalysts and holds significant promise for
advancing low-carbon energy solutions and promoting sustainable societal
development.
