TLDR
Pt-based ternary catalysts have been proposed as electrode materials for low temperature fuel cells as mentioned in this paper, and they have been tested as anode materials with improved CO tolerance or enhanced activity for methanol or ethanol oxidation.
Abstract
Pt-based ternary catalysts have been proposed as electrode materials for low temperature fuel cells. Pt–Ru-based ternary catalysts were tested as anode materials with improved CO tolerance or enhanced activity for methanol or ethanol oxidation. Ternary catalysts based on platinum alloyed with first row transition metals were tested as cathode materials with improved activity for the oxygen reduction. This paper presents an overview of the preparation methods and structural characteristics of these ternary catalysts.

Charge-Redistribution-Enhanced Nanocrystalline Ru@IrOx Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Evolution in Acidic Media

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report a rational design strategy for the fabrication of a heterostructured OER electrocatalyst (Ru@IrOx) that has unique physicochemical properties and in which a strong charge redistribution exists between a highly strained ruthenium core and a partially oxidized iridium shell across the metal-metal oxide heterojunction.

Monodisperse FePt Nanoparticles and Ferromagnetic FePt Nanocrystal Superlattices

TL;DR: Thermal annealing converts the internal particle structure from a chemically disordered face- centered cubic phase to the chemically ordered face-centered tetragonal phase and transforms the nanoparticle superlattices into ferromagnetic nanocrystal assemblies that can support high-density magnetization reversal transitions.
