Abstract

We report an enhanced high electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity of trace Pt and Co diluted in ternary CuCoPt alloy nanoparticles with Cu as the substrate. Using only 10% Pt atoms can display even better activity and stability in hydrogen evolution reactions than using pure Pt nanoparticles.
