Abstract

We successfully fabricate a novel concave nanostructure that is composed of atomically dispersed Ru atoms in Pt₃Sn nanoconcaves (Ru–Pt₃Sn NCs), which shows enhanced performance in methanol electroxidation compared to commercial Pt/C. This could be ascribed to the stable intermetallic structure and active surface structure, as well as the synergy among Pt, Sn and Ru.
