Ternary heterogeneous Pt–Ni–Au nanowires with enhanced activity and stability for PEMFCs

Abstract
Heterogeneous ternary Pt–Ni–Au nanowires (NWs) with randomly distributed Pt–Ni and Pt–Au micro phases were successfully synthesized following an oriented attachment mechanism. The as-prepared NWs exhibit enhanced activity and durability in both a rotating disk electrode (RDE) and single-cell, originating from the one dimensional (1D) heterogeneous structure.
