Bimetallic nanocrystals have attracted considerable attention because of their complicated systems,which are far superior to those of their individual constituents.A TiO_(2)-confined PtMnP bimetallic catalyst(PtMnP@TiO_(2)) was prepared using an ultrasonic-assisted coincident strategy,which demonstrated exceptional catalytic activity in the universal hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).Owing to the bimetallic synergistic effect and TiO_(2) confinement,PtMnP@TiO_(x)showed ultrasmall metal nanoparticles (NPs),a higher active Pt^(0) content,adequate activation at the porous surface,and abundant acid *** were performed to visualize the strain properties of Mn and Pt during the bending process and demonstrate the high activity of *** Pt-Mn bimetallic catalysts were enriched with Pt NPs,convoyed by electron transfer from Mn to ***,PtMnP@TiO_(2) showed robust evolution reaction activities (an overpotential of 220 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm^(-2) and a Tafel slope of 186 mV dec^(-1))and the ability to contrast stated catalysts without *** protocol revealed that the geometrical and electronic effects of Pt and P surrounding the Mn species in PtMnP@TiO_(2) were crucial for increasing the catalytic activity (99%) and durability (over 20 cycles),which were far superior to those of other reported catalysts.

We study the trajectories of a model microorganism inside three-dimensional channels with square and rectangular cross sections. Using (1) numerical simulations based on the lattice-Boltzmann method and (2) analytical expressions using far-field hydrodynamic approximations and the method of images we systematically investigate the role of the strength and finite-size of the squirmer, confinement dimensions, and initial conditions in determining the three-dimensional trajectories of microswimmers. Our results indicate that the hydrodynamic interactions with the confining walls of the channel significantly affect the swimming speed and trajectory of the model microswimmer. Specifically, pullers always display sliding motion inside the channel: weak pullers slide through the channel center line, while strong pullers slide through a path close to any of the walls. Pushers generally follow helical motion in a square channel. Unlike pullers and pushers, the trajectories of neutral swimmers are not easy to generalize and are sensitive to the initial conditions. Despite this diversity in the trajectories, the far-field expressions capture the essential features of channel-confined swimmers. Finally, we propose a method based on the principle of superposition to understand the origin of the three-dimensional trajectories of channel confined swimmers. Such construction allows us to predict and justify the origin of apparently complex three-dimensional trajectories generated by different types of swimmers in channels with square and rectangular cross sections.
