The methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) is the limiting half-reaction in direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). Although Pt is the most active single-metal electrocatalyst for MOR, it is hampered by high cost and CO poisoning. Constructing a Pt or Ru monolayer on a second metal substrate by means of galvanic replacement of underpotentially deposited (UPD) Cu monolayer has been shown as an efficient catalyst design strategy for the electrocatalysis of MOR because of the presumed 100% utilization of atoms and resistance to CO poisoning. Herein, we prepared one-dimensional surface-alloyed electrocatalyst from predominantly (111) faceted Au nanowires with high aspect ratio as the substrate of under-potential deposition. The electrocatalyst comprises a core of the Au nanowire and a shell of catalytically active Pt coated by Ru. Coverage-dependent electro-catalytic activity and stability is demonstrated on the Pt/Ru submonolayers on Au wires for MOR. Among all these catalysts, Au@Pt_ML@Ru_ML exhibits the best electrocatalytic activity and poisoning tolerance to CO. This presents a viable method for the rational catalyst design for achieving high noble-metal utilization efficiency and high catalytic performance.
