Predicted Trends of Core−Shell Preferences for 132 Late Transition-Metal Binary-Alloy Nanoparticles
Abstract
Transition-metal alloyed nanoparticles with core-shell features (shell enrichment by one of the metals) are becoming ubiquitous, from (electro-)catalysis to biomedical applications, due to their size control, performance, biocompatibility, and cost. We investigate 132 binary-alloyed nanoparticle systems (groups 8 to 11 in the Periodic Table) using density functional theory (DFT) and systematically explore their segregation energies to determine core-shell preferences. We find that core-shell preferences are generally described by two independent factors: (1) cohesive energy (related to vapor pressure) and (2) atomic size (quantified by the Wigner-Seitz radius), and the interplay between them. These independent factors are shown to provide general trends for the surface segregation preference for atoms in nanoparticles, as well as semi-infinite surfaces, and give a simple correlation (a "design map") for the alloying and catalytic behavior. Finally, we provide a universal description of core-shell preference via tight-binding theory (band-energy differences) that (i) quantitatively reproduces the DFT segregation energies and (ii) confirms the electronic origins and correlations for core-shell behavior.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
