Programmable Electrochemical Synthesis of Nanoparticles via Surface-Localized Heating

The programmable synthesis of nanomaterials is a transformative approach that enables precise tailoring of crystallinity, size, and morphology. By leveraging surface-localized heating techniques, we develop an innovative electrochemical strategy to produce single-crystalline nanoparticles with unparalleled control. This method allows for the synthesis of diverse nanomaterials, ranging from single-element particles to multi-metal single-crystalline structures, as well as metal-nonmetal alloys. Furthermore, the approach shows significant potential for the fabrication of single-crystalline thin films, opening avenues for advanced applications in catalysis, electronics, and materials science.
