Correction for 'Study of structures and thermodynamics of CuNi nanoalloys using a new DFT-fitted atomistic potential' by Emanuele Panizon et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2015, DOI: 10.1039/c5cp00215j.

Alloying palladium (Pd) with other transition metals at the nanoscale has become an important pathway for preparation of low-cost, highly active and stable catalysts. However, the lack of understanding of how the alloying phase state, chemical composition and atomic-scale structure of the alloys at the nanoscale influence their catalytic activity impedes the rational design of Pd-nanoalloy cata...

Alloy Pt-M (M = Co, Ni) nanocatalysts, supported on carbon Vulcan XC-72, were synthesized using the carbonyl chemical route. A high dispersion on such substrate was revealed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Alloy formation on the nanometre scale length was shown by high-resolution transmission microscopy (HRTEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) on a nanoparticle. The met...

The oxygen reduction reaction is of major importance in energy conversion and storage. Controlling electrocatalytic activity and its selectivity remains a challenge of modern electrochemistry. Here, first principles calculations and analysis of experimental data unravel the mechanism of this reaction on Au-Pd nanoalloys in acid media. A mechanistic model is proposed from comparison of the elect...

A simple unified model is used to study the variation in Debye temperature monometallic and bimetallic nanoalloys. In present study, a systematic investigation of done analyze impact size, shape, composition dimension It found that nanoalloys decreases with decrease size nanoalloy. Moreover, for same composition, varies too. nanofilms more than nanowires nanoparticles. also vary shape nanoalloy...

Resonant high-energy X-ray diffraction coupled to atomic pair distribution function analysis and computer simulations is used to study the atomic-scale structure of group 11 nanosized metals and binary alloy catalysts. We find that nanosized Cu is quite disordered structurally whereas nanosized Ag and especially Au exhibit a very good degree of crystallinity. We resolve Cu−Cu and Ag−Ag atomic c...

This article reviews recent advances in our understanding of how temperature affects the structure and the phase of multimetallic nanoparticles. Focusing on bimetallic systems, we discuss the interplay of size, shape and chemical order on the stable configurations at thermal equilibrium. Besides some considerations about experimental evidence for thermally-induced transformations, most insight ...
