Crystallographic defects in noble metal nanocrystals are recognized as highly active catalytic sites, significantly enhancing activities in many important reactions. Despite their importance, synthesizing noble metal nanocrystals with a high density of defects poses a considerable synthetic challenge. Here, we present a novel lattice mismatch-induced formation mechanism to create high-density defects in noble metal nanocrystals. This approach takes advantage of lattice mismatch to enable non-epitaxial nucleation and growth of a noble metal on a foreign metal substrate, forming abundant noble metal crystallites with random lattice orientations not dictated by the substrate lattice. As these crystallites grow extensively, they merge, forming numerous grain boundaries and yielding defect-rich noble metal nanocrystals. Defect-rich alloy nanocrystals can also be synthesized through a subsequent vacancy-diffusion alloying process. We take defective PdCu alloy nanocages as an example and demonstrate the effectiveness of crystallographic defects in enhancing catalytic performance of noble metal nanocrystals. The nanocages exhibit superior activity in the electrocatalytic formic acid oxidation reaction, which is 1.6 times greater than their defect-free counterparts. Our strategy offers a new avenue for creating defect-rich noble metal nanocrystals as highly efficient catalysts for a wide array of catalytic applications.
