The performance of a photocatalytic reaction is mainly determined by the quality of the photocatalyst. For real applications, significantly enhancing the stability and activity of the photocatalysts still remains a challenge for materials scientists and chemists. In this paper, we have achieved a highly efficient plasmonic AgCl–Ag nanophotocatalyst via photochemical conversion of AgCl nanocubes. Compared with reported photocatalysts, the as-achieved nanophotocatalyst exhibits superior activity, long-term stability, and wide applicability in the decomposition of organic dye pollutants. For example, only 30 s is needed to bleach methyl orange molecules assisted by AgCl–Ag nanoparticles. Furthermore, the catalyst can be reused up to 50 times without significant loss of activity. A possible mechanism was discussed and the specified photocatalytic reactions verified that both O2•– and OH• radicals were the main active species in decomposing pollutants. The excellent performance of the present photocatalyst suggests promising applications in environmental remediation, clean energy creation, and solar cells.

A novel particle-on-alloy nanomaterial has been designed and successfully synthesized for oxygen reduction (ORR) with high activity and long-term stability, in which well-isolated Pt nanoparticles are supported by amorphous NiCo nanoalloys. The Pt-on-NiCo nanostructures are prepared through the artificial active collodion membrane by one-step method, and experimental data reveals that Pt is isolated and spreads onto the amorphous NiCo nanosupport, and not only Pt but also Ni and Co are metallic in the Pt-on-NiCo nanostructures. The optimized Pt53-on-NiCo nanostructures show higher activities in both the onset potential and kinetic current density toward the ORR relative to the commercial Pt reference catalysts because the Pt-on-NiCo catalyst could lower theOHad, which is considered to inhibit the ORR toward water. Meanwhile, Pt-on-NiCo nanostructures exhibit relatively long-term stability with only ~8% loss in electrochemical surface area (ECSA) for Pt.
