Abstract Nanoframes are unique for their 3D, highly open architecture. When made of noble metals, they are attractive for use as heterogeneous catalysts because of their large specific surface areas, high densities of catalytically active sites and low vulnerability toward sintering. They promise to enhance the catalytic activity and durability while reducing the material loading and cost. For nanoframes composed of Au and/or Ag, they also exhibit highly tunable plasmonic properties similar to those of nanorods. This article presents a brief account of recent progress in the design, synthesis and utilization of noble-metal nanoframes. We start with a discussion of the synthetic strategies, including those involving site-selected deposition and etching, as well as dealloying of both hollow and solid nanocrystals. We then highlight some of the applications enabled by noble-metal nanoframes. Finally, we discuss the challenges and trends with regard to future development.

In this work, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposites doped with nitrogen (N), sulfur (S) and transitional metal (Ni, Co, Fe) were synthesized by using a simple one-step in-situ hydrothermal approach. Electrochemical characterization showed that rGO-NS-Ni was the most prominent catalyst for glucose oxidation. The current density of the direct glucose alkaline fuel cell (DGAFC) with rGO-NS-Ni as the anode catalyst reached 148.0 mA/cm2, which was 40.82% higher than the blank group. The DGAFC exhibited a maximum power density of 48 W/m2, which was more than 2.08 folds than that of blank group. The catalyst was further characterized by SEM, XPS and Raman. It was speculated that the boosted performance was due to the synergistic effect of N, S-doped rGO and the metallic redox couples, (Ni2+/Ni3+, Co2+/Co3+ and Fe2+/Fe3+), which created more active sites and accelerated electron transfer. This research can provide insights for the development of environmental benign catalysts and promote the application of the DGAFCs.

The removal of organic pollutants using green environmental photocatalytic degradation techniques urgently need high-performance catalysts. In this work, a facile one-step hydrothermal technique has been successfully applied to synthesize a Nb2O5 photocatalyst with uniform micro-flower structure for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under UV irradiation. These nanocatalysts are characterized by transmission and scanning electron microscopies (TEM and SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method, and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). It is found that the prepared Nb2O5 micro-flowers presents a good crystal phases and consist of 3D hierarchical nanosheets with 400–500 nm in diameter. The surface area is as large as 48.6 m2 g−1. Importantly, the Nb2O5 micro-flowers exhibit superior catalytic activity up to 99.9% for the photodegradation of MO within 20 mins, which is about 60-fold and 4-fold larger than that of without catalysts (W/O) and commercial TiO2 (P25) sample, respectively. This excellent performance may be attributed to 3D porous structure with abundant catalytic active sites.

ABSTRACT A simple, specific method is presented for simultaneous determination of voriconazole and itraconazole and its metabolite, hydroxyitraconazole, in human serum using one-step liquid-liquid extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography. Linearity tests ranged from 0.1 to 8.0 μg/ml; the minimum detectable concentration was 0.03 μg/ml.

Abstract This improved method for rapid determination of uric acid in serum is based on high-performance liquid-gel-permeation chromatography, with hydrophilic and highly porous vinyl alcohol copolymer as packing material. It has the following advantages: no need for sample deproteinization or use of a precolumn, more than 500 serum samples can be analyzed without having to regenerate or recondition the analytical apparatus, and the analysis for uric acid is a one-step procedure. Correlation coefficients between this method and other methods are very good (r = 0.998, 0.999).

<p>The requirements for beneficial materials restructuring into a higher performance OER electrocatalyst are still a largely open question. Here we use Erythrite (Co<sub>3</sub>(AsO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2 </sub>8H<sub>2</sub>O) as a Co-based OER electrocatalyst to evaluate its catalytic properties during in-situ restructuring into an amorphous Co-based catalyst in four different electrolytes at pH 7. Using diffraction, microscopy and spectroscopy, we observed a strong effect in the restructuring kinetics depending of the anions in the electrolyte. Only carbonate electrolyte could activate the catalyst electrode, which we relate to its slow restructuring kinetics. While its turnover frequency (TOF) reduced from 2.84 O<sub>2 </sub>Co<sup>-1 </sup>s<sup>-1</sup> to a constant value of 0.10 O<sub>2</sub> Co<sup>-1 </sup>s<sup>-1</sup> after ~ 300 cycles, the number of redox active sites continuously increased, which explained the current increase of around 100%. The final activated material owns an adequate local order, a high Co oxidation state and a high number of redox-active Co ions, which we identify as the trinity for enhancing the OER activity. Thus, this work provides new insights into for the rational design of high-performance OER catalysts by electrochemical restructuring.</p>
