[Display omitted] Micron to nanoscale ZrCo alloys are synthesized by electrospinning method and magnesiothermic reduction. The fibers act as space templates to control particle size. Compared with conventional polycrystalline smelted-ZrCo (∼140 μm), the nano-ZrCo exhibits much improved hydrogen and...
