The preparation of metal electrocatalysts with excellent comprehensive properties for application in alcohol fuel cells is an urgent issue. This study reports a novel 3D Au‐doped PtBi intermetallic phase woven by sub‐7 nm building blocks. The high‐efficiency “active auxiliary” Au advances the activi...
