Using the high-entropy alloys (HEAs) CoCuGaNiZn and AgAuCuPdPt as starting points we provide a framework for tuning the composition of disordered multi-metallic alloys to control the selectivity and activity of the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to highly reduced compounds. By combining density functional theory (DFT) with supervised machine learning we predicted the CO and hydrogen (H) adsorption energies of all surface sites on the (111) surface of the two HEAs. This allowed an optimization for the HEA compositions with increased likelihood for sites with weak hydrogen adsorption{to suppress the formation of molecular hydrogen (H2) and with strong CO adsorption to favor the reduction of CO. This led to the discovery of several disordered alloy catalyst candidates for which selectivity towards highly reduced carbon compounds is expected, as well as insights into the rational design of disordered alloy catalysts for the CO2 and CO reduction reaction.

Heterojunction (type II) of self standing, vertically aligned CdSe NTs (n-type) with electrodeposited Cu2O (p-type) exhibits excellent photoresponse, resulting from enhanced absorption of light and faster transport of photogenerated charge carriers by CdSe NTs.

The electrochemical preparation of arrays of copper ultramicrowires (CuUWs) by using porous membranes as templates is critically revisited, with the goal of obtaining cheap but efficient substrates for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The role of the materials used for the electrodeposition is examined, comparing membranes of anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) vs. track-etched polycarbonate (PC) as well as copper vs. glassy carbon (GC) as electrode material. A voltammetric study performed on bare electrodes and potentiostatic tests on membrane coated electrodes allowed the optimization of the deposition parameters. The final arrays of CuUWs were obtained by chemical etching of the template, with NaOH for AAO and CH2Cl2 for PC. After total etching of the template, SERS spectra were recorded on CuUWs using benzenethiol as SERS probe with known spectral features. The CuUW substrates displayed good SERS properties, providing enhancement factor in the 103–104 range. Finally, it was demonstrated that higher Raman enhancement can be achieved when CuUWs are decorated with silver nanostars, supporting the formation of SERS active hot-spots at the bimetallic interface.

This study is focused on the preparation of metal (Cu, Zn) nanopowders by an electrochemical reduction/precipitation procedure, which provides the primary components for the development of CuZn alloy metallic foams. This well-controlledmethod allows straight forward control of the reaction parameters and the restriction of oxidation effects, while resulting in stable and small grain size metal nanopowders. Whether precipitation of Cu and Zn is held separately or in alternating deposition mode, the characteristics of synthesized nanopowders assist easier mixing, alloying and realization of metallic foams suitable for water treatment applications. CuZn alloy foams developed with this technique presented equivalent efficiency and lower corrosion and leaching rates compared to those prepared with commercial powder methods.
