Abstract
Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are among the most promising portable power supplies because of their unique advantages, including high energy density/mobility of liquid fuels, low working temperature, and low emission of pollutants. Various metal-based anode catalysts have been extensively studied and utilized for the essential methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) due to their superior electrocatalytic performance. At present, especially with the rapid advance of nanotechnology, enormous efforts have been exerted to further enhance the catalytic performance and minimize the use of precious metals. Constructing multicomponent metal-based nanocatalysts with precisely designed structures can achieve this goal by providing highly tunable compositional and structural characteristics, which is promising for the modification and optimization of their related electrochemical properties. The recent advances of metal-based electrocatalytic materials with rationally designed nanostructures and chemistries for MOR in DMFCs are highlighted and summarized herein. The effects of the well-defined nanoarchitectures on the improved electrochemical properties of the catalysts are illustrated. Finally, conclusive perspectives are provided on the opportunities and challenges for further refining the nanostructure of metal-based catalysts and improving electrocatalytic performance, as well as the commercial viability.

Abstract
The realization of small platinum (Pt) nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in conductive porous carbon would largely improve the catalytic activity effectively with more durability, although there remain challenges to achieve such hybrid nanostructures via a simple synthetic route. Here, an efficient and facile profile was demonstrated for the synthesis of one kind of uniform three-dimensional (3D) spherical Pt/C composite electrocatalyst with small monodispersed Pt NPs embedded in the matrix of 3D spherical porous carbon derived from the corresponding spherically polymeric Pt(II) complex. The monodispersed Pt NPs within the uniform 3D Pt/C composite are ∼4.4 nm and they are dispersed homogeneously within the matrix of 3D spherical porous carbon. Investigations showed that the 3D Pt/C composite exhibits high catalytic performances as compared to the commercial catalyst of Pt black for oxidation reactions of ethylene glycol, ethanol, and methanol. This strategy developed in the present study would be available for possible fabrication of some other active 3D porous carbon-supported Pt-based catalysts including their bimetallic and multimetallic counterparts.

Abstract
Noble metal-coated core-shell nanoparticles have been applied to a suite of catalytic applications, with the aim of decreasing the noble metal loading while ideally improving their performance. The chemistry and therefore activity at the surface of these materials are intimately related to the accurate description of the core-shell interface. Using density functional theory, we developed a procedure to obtain realistic surface topology descriptions at the heterometallic junction. This procedure was applied to a topical series of catalysts: Ti0.1W0.9C coated in atomically thin monolayers of noble metals. Our quantum chemical calculations provide access to both relevant surface descriptions of these materials and also rationalize several experimental observations. Our general procedure paves the way for the rationalization and prediction of next-generation heterometallic catalysts.

Abstract
Catalysts with low-cost, high activity and stability toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are extremely desirable, but its development still remains a great challenge. Here, a novel magnetically separable hybrid of multimetal oxide, cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4), anchored on nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (CoFe2O4/NG) is prepared via a facile solvothermal method followed by calcination at 500 °C. The structure of CoFe2O4/NG and the interaction of both components are analyzed by several techniques. The possible formation of Co/Fe-N interaction in the CoFe2O4/NG catalyst is found. As a result, the well-combination of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles with NG and its improved crystallinity lead to a synergistic and efficient catalyst with high performance to ORR through a four-electron-transfer process in alkaline medium. The CoFe2O4/NG exhibits particularly comparable catalytic activity as commercial Pt/C catalyst, and superior stability against methanol oxidation and CO poisoning. Meanwhile, it has been proved that both nitrogen doping and the spinel structure of CoFe2O4 can have a significant contribution to the catalytic activity by contrast experiments. Multimetal oxide hybrid demonstrates better catalysis to ORR than a single metal oxide hybrid. All results make the low-cost and magnetically separable CoFe2O4/NG a promising alternative for costly platinum-based ORR catalyst in fuel cells and metal-air batteries.

Abstract
PtRu nanoparticles dispersed in CMK3 mesoporous carbons have been prepared via a CPDM (carbonization over poly-furfuryl alcohol-protected dispersed mixed metals) method. The as-synthesized CMK3 supported PtRu nanoparticles are characterized using tomography and cross-sectional TEM analysis and are compared against those synthesized by the conventional ethylene glycol (EG) method. The atomic ratio of Pt : Ru, which has an essential role on methanol oxidation, is found to be consistent at the nanometer scale. The good dispersion and uniform composition of PtRu nanoparticles result in improved methanol oxidation performance including higher methanol oxidation current and long-term stability.

Abstract
We present a facile route to fabricate novel nanoporous bimetallic Pt-Au alloy nanocomposites by dealloying a rapidly solidified Al(75)Pt(15)Au(10) precursor under free corrosion conditions. The microstructure of the precursor and the as-dealloyed sample was characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. The Al(75)Pt(15)Au(10) precursor is composed of a single-phase Al(2)(Au,Pt) intermetallic compound, and can be fully dealloyed in a 20 wt.% NaOH or 5 wt.% HCl aqueous solution. The dealloying leads to the formation of the nanoporous Pt(60)Au(40) nanocomposites (np-Pt(60)Au(40) NCs) with an fcc structure. The morphology, size and crystal orientation of grains in the precursor can be conserved in the resultant nanoporous alloy. The np-Pt(60)Au(40) NCs consist of two zones with distinct ligament/channel sizes and compositions. The formation mechanism of these np-Pt(60)Au(40) NCs can be rationalized based upon surface diffusion of more noble elements and spinodal decomposition during dealloying. Electrochemical measurements demonstrate that the np-Pt(60)Au(40) NCs show superior catalytic activity towards the electro-oxidation of methanol and formic acid in the acid media compared to the commercial JM-Pt/C catalyst. This material can find potential applications in catalysis related areas, such as direct methanol or formic acid fuel cells. Our findings demonstrate that dealloying is an effective and simple strategy to realize the alloying of immiscible systems under mild conditions, and to fabricate novel nanostructures with superior performance.

Abstract
One of the most important challenges for the ultimate commercialization of fuel cells is the preparation of active, robust, and low-cost catalysts. This review highlights some findings of our investigations in the last few years in developing advanced approaches to nanostructured catalysts that address this challenge. Emphasis is placed on nanoengineering-based fabrication, processing, and characterization of multimetallic nanoparticles with controllable size (1-10 nm), shape, composition (e.g. Ml(n)M2(100-n), M1(n)M2(m)M3(100-n-m), M1@M2, where M (1 or 2) = Pt, Co, Ni, V, Fe, Cu, Pd, W, Ag, Au etc) and morphology (e.g. alloy, core@shell etc). In addition to an overview of the fundamental issues and the recent progress in fuel cell catalysts, results from evaluations of the electrocatalytic performance of nanoengineered catalysts in fuel cell reactions are discussed. This approach differs from other traditional approaches to the preparation of supported catalysts in the ability to control the particle size, composition, phase, and surface properties. An understanding of how the nanoscale properties of the multimetallic nanoparticles differ from their bulk-scale counterparts, and how the interaction between the nanoparticles and the support materials relates to the size sintering or evolution in the thermal activation process, is also discussed. The fact that the bimetallic gold-platinum nanoparticle system displays a single-phase character different from the miscibility gap known for its bulk-scale counterpart serves as an important indication of the nanoscale manipulation of the structural properties, which is useful for refining the design and preparation of the bimetallic catalysts. The insight gained from probing how nanoparticle-nanoparticle and nanoparticle-substrate interactions relate to the size evolution in the activation process of nanoparticles on planar substrates serves as an important guiding principle in the control of nanoparticle sintering on different support materials. The fact that some of the trimetallic nanoparticle catalysts (e.g. PtVFe or PtNiFe) exhibit electrocatalytic activities in fuel cell reactions which are four-five times higher than in pure Pt catalysts constitutes the basis for further exploration of a variety of multimetallic combinations. The fundamental insights into the control of nanoscale alloy, composition, and core-shell structures have important implications in identifying nanostructured fuel cell catalysts with an optimized balance of catalytic activity and stability.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic activity of Pt3Ru2/C nanocatalyst toward the electro-oxidation of bulk CO was examined in acid and alkaline solution at ambient temperature using the thin-film, rotating disk electrode (RDE) method. The catalyst was characterized by XRD analysis. The XRD pattern revealed that the Pt3Ru2/C catalyst consisted of two structures, i.e., Pt-Ru-fcc and Ruhcp (a solid solution of Ru in Pt and a small amount of Ru or a solid solution of Pt in Ru). Electrocatalytic activities were measured by applying potentiodynamic and steady state techniques. The oxidation of CO on the Pt3Ru2/C catalyst was influenced by pH and anions from the supporting electrolytes. The Pt3Ru2/C was more active in alkaline than in acid solution, as well as in perchloric than in sulfuric acid. Comparison of CO oxidation on Pt3Ru2/C and Pt/C revealed that the Pt3Ru2/C was more active than Pt/C in acid solution, while both catalysts had a similar activity in alkaline solution.
