Using nanocatalysts to catalyze water electrolysis for hydrogen production is an ideal solution to address the energy crisis.The most well-adopted fabrication methods for nanocatalysts are tube furnace annealing,Hydro-thermal method,etc.,hardly satisfying the trade-off among coarsening,dispersity,and particle size due to mutual restrictions.Herein,a universal,ultrafast and facile cellulose nanometer whiskers-high temperature shock(CNW-HTS)method was reported for fabricating a library of ultrafine metal nanoparticles with uniform dispersion and narrow size distribution.The metal-anchor functional groups in CNW(i.e.,-OH and-COOH)and the charac-teristics of the HTS method for ultrafast heating and powerful quenching synergistically contribute to the suc-cessful synthesis of metal nanoparticles.As an initial demonstration,the as-prepared Pt nanocatalyst(η10 mA cm-2=51.8 mV)shows more excellent catalytic hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)performance than the Pt catalyst prepared in the tubular furnace(η10 mA cm-2=169.4 mV).This rapid and universal CNW-HTS method can pave the way for nanomanufacturing to produce high-quality metal nanoparticles,thereby expanding ap-plications of energy conversion and electrocatalysis.
