Abstract

An ultrathin PtNi NWs mediated strategy to form PtNiPd core-shell NWs is constructed. The combination of 1D structure, high-index bounded surface, and unique core-shell structure with high activity of the PtNi shell results in superior performance toward both the liquid fuel oxidation reactions and oxygen reduction reaction.
