Ternary nickel–tungsten–copper alloy rivals platinum for catalyzing alkaline hydrogen oxidation

The lack of efficient and cost-effective catalysts for H2 oxidation reaction (HOR) hinders the application of anion exchange membrane fuel cells. Here, authors report a ternary nickel-tungsten-copper nanoalloy with marked HOR activity and stability that rivals the benchmark platinum catalyst.
