Pt:Pd:Co ternary alloy nanoparticles were synthesized by sodium borohydride reduction under nitrogen, and were supported on carbon black as catalysts for methanol and formic acid electro-oxidation. Compared with Pt_0.65Co_0.30/C, Pt/C, Pd_0.65Co_0.30/C, and Pd/C catalyst, Pt_0.35Pd_0.35Co_0.30/C exhibited relatively high durability and strong poisoning resistance, and the Pt-mass activity was 3.6 times higher than that of Pt/C in methanol oxidation reaction. Meanwhile, the Pt_0.35Pd_0.35Co_0.30/C exhibited excellent activity with higher current density and higher CO tolerance than that of Pt_0.65Co_0.30/C, Pt/C, Pd_0.65Co_0.30/C, and Pd/C in formic acid electro-oxidation.
