transformers [2] and load bearing applications. [3] In the last few decades, the study of nanomaterials has become a central focus in nanoscience and nanotechnology. [4] In fact, many studies have shown that with reduction in size, nanomaterials display novel electrical, mechanical, chemical and optical properties, which are largely believed to be the result of surface and quantum confinement effects. [4,5] Remarkably, this trend has found traction in the metallic glass field where metallic glasses nanostructures (MGNs) demonstrate an important role in many applications such as light harvesting, [6] photovoltaic, [7] biomedical, [8] magneto-optical, [9] organic synthesis, [10] lithium-ion batteries [11] and electrocatalysis. [12] Recently, MGNs are receiving increased attention due to their distinguished performance, such as high activity and long term stability in electrocatalytic reactions. [12,13] Although several review papers have already covered the topic of nanopatterning of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), [14][15][16] the correlation between recent synthetic methods and electrocatalytic applications for MGNs has not been thoroughly addressed. Moreover, there is currently no review that unites MGNs synthesized from different approaches (top-down and bottom-up) with conventional electrochemical reactions. Therefore, in this review our mission is to: 1) present a focused perspective on the latest fabrication techniques of MGNs toward the pursuit of novel electrocatalysts and electrodes; 2) highlight recent advances in computational screening and predictions that could be applied toward new metallic glass electrocatalyst discovery; and 3) report distinct advancements in electrocatalytic applications related to MGNs by creating a comprehensive discussion for commonly employed kinetic parameters and their connection with the unique material structure. Finally, as the first progress report on the metallic glass based electrocatalysts, we will also highlight some of the challenges that need to be addressed toward future progress in this field.BMGs are those metallic glasses (MGs) that can be made in 'bulk' scale with good glass forming abilities, [17] representing a versatile platform for many applications. To date, a wide range of BMG-forming alloys have been developed, including Zr-, [18] Fe-, [19] Cu-, [20] Ni-, [21] Ti-, [22] Mg-, [23] Pd-, [24] Au-, [25] and Pt-based compositions. [26] Moreover, the increased disorder brought by the higher degree of multinary systems is believed to contribute to improving the glass formation. [27] The evolution to multicomponent alloys of the most recent MG studies has also made them natural candidates for catalysis. The amorphous multinary Recent advances in metallic glass nanostructures (MGNs) are reported, covering a wide array of synthesis strategies, computational discovery, and design solutions that provide insight into distinct electrocatalytic applications. A brief introduction to the development and unique features of MGNs with an overview of top-down and bottom-up sy...

“…Em recente artigo de revisão sobre os VMMs, Khan et al [15] relataram os avanços realizados no processamento dessas ligas. Dentre esses avanços, destacaram-se: o clássico rápido resfriamento a partir do estado líquido [16][17][18] além da têmpera com laser pulsado [19], derrame de líquido em roda fria ("melt spinning") [20], metalurgia do pó [21,22] e pulverização atômica magnética ("magnetron sputtering") [23][24][25].…”

Um novo método de fabricação de VMMs, denominado procedimento combinatorial através de co-pulverização atômica ("combinatorial approaching via co-sputtering") [26][27], acelerou a descoberta de novos VMMs, inclusive em sistemas binários, tais como Ni-Nb, Zr-Pd, Au-Si e Cu-Zr [15]. Como consequência de todo esse esforço de processamento, centenas de ligas metálicas vítreas maciças foram, e continuam sendo, desenvolvidas desde a década de 70.…”

Resumo Vidros metálicos maciços (VMMs) são ligas amorfas com razoável espessura e que se constituem em uma classe especial de metais, tanto por suas propriedades quanto pela possibilidade de aplicações práticas. Desenvolvidos há menos de 40 anos, os VMMs apresentam características notáveis como elevada resistência mecânica e elasticidade em associação com alta tenacidade, tolerância a defeitos e falhas, bem como superior resistência à corrosão, biocompatibilidade e comportamento eletroquímico vantajoso. Por estas razões, milhares de artigos científicos e tecnológicos já foram publicados até hoje sobre VMMs. Além disto, aplicações em engenharia e medicina com possibilidade de comercialização testemunham a relevância prática dos VMMs. Dentre suas características únicas, destaca-se o fato dos VMMs poderem ser processados como polímeros, por exemplo, através de manufatura aditiva. Neste trabalho, com base na revisão de artigos selecionados, é destacada a importância dos VMMs e discutidas suas notáveis propriedades. Por fim, é realizado um balanço do atual nível de aplicação prática voltado particularmente para o emprego tecnológico. Palavras-chave: Vidros metálicos maciços; ligas amorfas; propriedades; características estruturais.

The influence of global interactions between the static atomic structure and the valence electrons on structure formation in binary Al-(Ni,Cu,Zr), Zr-(Ni,Cu) and ternary Al-(Ni,Cu)-Zr metallic glasses is investigated over wide concentration ranges and discussed in terms of a Hume-Rothery-like theory by analysing and comparing data available in the literature. The results suggest that global interactions lead to an improvement of thermal stability and glass-forming ability. A complete understanding of structure formation in the considered alloys is assumed to be possible only by taking into account both local and global effects.
