Intermetallic nanocrystals are currently receiving extensive attentions due to their well- defined crystal structures, highly ordered atomic distribution and superior structural stability that endow them with optimized catalytic activities, stabilities and high selectivity as electrocatalysts for fuel cells. Here, for the first time, we reported the facile synthesis of intermetallic Pd3Pb nanowire networks (IM-Pd3Pb NNs) with a one-step wet-chemical strategy at a relatively low temperature (i.e. 170 °C) in 1 h. The as-prepared IM-Pd3Pb NNs exhibited superior bifunctional catalytic performances toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and ethanol oxidation reaction (EtOR) compared to commercial Pt/C and Pd black, respectively. Significantly, IM-Pd3Pb NNs also showed excellent methanol- and CO-tolerant ability as ORR cathode and EtOR anode electrocatalysts, respectively. The electrochemical active surface area and mass activity of IM-Pd3Pb NNs are about 3.4 times and 2 times higher than Pd black toward EtOR, respectively. As the Pt-free bifunctional electrocatalysts, 3D IM-Pd3Pb architectures with exceptional catalytic performances hold great promise in various applica-tions of energy conversion and storage devices, sensors, electronics, optics and so on.
