Abstract
Interface construction is one of the most feasible approaches to optimize the physical and chemical properties of noble metal-based catalysts and consequently improve their catalytic performance. Herein, the design of effective reaction interfaces by bimetallic, trimetallic or polymetallic alloying has been extensively explored. In this research, metalloid boron (B) was alloyed within palladium-iridium (Pd-Ir) nanoalloy supported on nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) to promote the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in alkaline media. Being benefited from this, the optimum Pd7IrBx/NG catalyst exhibited enhanced EOR activity mass activity (1141.7 mA mg-1) and long-term stability (58.2 % current density retention rate after 500 cycles of cyclic voltammetry). The mechanism was further studied by electrochemical experiments and characterization, which highlighted that the multifunctional effect of electronic effect and strain effect and kinetic optimization induced by boron doping played a very positive role on MOR.

Abstract
Direct liquid fuel cells (DLFCs) are considered as satisfactory alternatives to traditional fossil fuels owing to their unique advantages, e.g. environmental friendliness and easy storage. Noble metal catalysts are widely used to improve the efficiency of DLFCs. However, the high cost, low utilization and poor stability of noble metals restricted their practical applications. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore cost-effective electrocatalysts and further improve their electrocatalytic performance. Reducing the content of noble metals by adding low-priced phosphorus (P) has been considered as an effective strategy, which is able to enhance their electrocatalytic activity and anti-poisoning ability through effectively changing the electronic density of active sites. In the past few years, tremendous P containing catalysts have been synthesized and utilized in DLFCs. In this review, we summarize the fundamentals of electrochemical reactions and present recent progress in P containing noble metal catalysts for DLFCs, including the discussion of their shape, composition and the relationship between P and active sites. Finally, the challenges and some potential directions in this field are pointed out.

Abstract
Gold (Au)-based nanomaterials, including nanoparticles (NPs) and nanoclusters (NCs), have shown great potential in many electrocatalytic reactions due to their excellent catalytic ability and selectivity. In recent years, Au-based nanostructured materials have been considered as one of the most promising non-platinum (Pt) electrocatalysts. The controlled synthesis of Au-based NPs and NCs and the delicate microstructure adjustment play a vital role in regulating their catalytic activity toward various reactions. This review focuses on the latest progress in the synthesis of efficient Au-based NP and NC electrocatalysts, highlighting the relationship between Au nanostructures and their catalytic activity. This review first discusses the parameters of Au-based nanomaterials that determine their electrocatalytic performance, including composition, particle size and architecture. Subsequently, the latest electrocatalytic applications of Au-based NPs and NCs in various reactions are provided. Finally, some challenges and opportunities are highlighted, which will guide the rational design of Au-based NPs and NCs as promising electrocatalysts.
