“…Electroless modification of the Ag nanoplates with Cu nanoparticles (Figure d–g) or Ni nanospike (Figure h–k) coatings further increases the surface area of the deposit. Conventional galvanic displacement-based strategies, proceeding under sacrificial oxidation of the nanoplates, tend to result in precipitation of poorly soluble salts such as AgCl due to dissolution and mixing with the deposit . Our derivatization reactions yield core–shell hetero-architectures since the standard reduction potential of the Ag support is considerably more positive compared to Cu and Ni, and the deposit precursors are converted by the dissolved reducing agents rather than by the nanoplates.…”

This study addresses the potential of combining multiple electroless plating reactions for homogeneous decoration of three-dimensional carbon fibers (CFs) with shape-controlled AgNi and AgCu bimetallic nanostructures. Morphology, crystal structure, and composition of the obtained bimetallic nanostructures were systemically examined by various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques including scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The electrocatalytic performance of the synthesized materials was investigated for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). AgCu and AgNi bimetallic surfaces showed superior activity and stability compared to pristine Ag, Ni, or Cu. These observed enhancements on the bimetallic nanostructures are attributed to the synergistic effect between the elements present. AgNi nanoplate-decorated CFs exhibited the highest activity toward OER, which is attributed to the key role of Ag in stabilizing and increasing the number of β-NiOOH surface sites, which are the most relevant OER-active Ni species.
