A Selenium-Mediated Layer-by-layer Synthetic Strategy for Multilayered Multicomponent Nanocrystals
NATURE SYNTHESIS(2024)

Abstract
Ordered heterostructured nanocrystals with large compositional and morphological diversity are important for many applications. However, design of multicomponent nanostructures at the atomic level is difficult due to the elusive nucleation and growth processes in a solution-phase environment. Here we report a modular synthetic protocol that produces ordered multilayered nanostructures with small particle size by layer-by-layer growth. We introduce a selenium capping agent to hinder self-assembly, aggregation and phase segregation of nanostructures, while also sequencing the priority of metal atoms that migrate in the substrate lattice according to different metal-selenium bonding strengths, leading to a layer-by-layer growth for ordered nanostructures. The multilayered multicomponent nanocrystals are demonstrated in an alkaline polymer electrolyte fuel cell by using PtRuZn-SKE (SKE, selenium-mediated Kirkendall effect) as the anodic hydrogen oxidation reaction catalyst, which can deliver a high peak power density of 1.52 W cm-2 in H2-O2 and 1.12 W cm-2 in H2-air (CO2-free) while operating at 600 mA cm-2 for 100 h. This generalizable strategy provides a predictable synthetic pathway to complex nanocrystals. A modular synthetic procedure is reported in which a selenium capping agent hinders phase segregation and aggregation while sequencing the priority of metals that migrate into the substrate lattice, leading to a layer-by-layer growth of ordered nanostructures.

Key content
- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
