Abstract Efficient electro‐oxidation of formic acid, methanol, and ethanol is challenging owing to the multiple chemical reaction steps required to accomplish full oxidation to CO ₂ . Herein, a ternary CoPtAu nanoparticle catalyst system is reported in which Co and Pt form an intermetallic L1 ₀ ‐structure and Au segregates on the surface to alloy with Pt. The L1 ₀ ‐structure stabilizes Co and significantly enhances the catalysis of the PtAu surface towards electro‐oxidation of ethanol, methanol, and formic acid, with mass activities of 1.55 A/mg _Pt , 1.49 A/mg _Pt , and 11.97 A/mg _Pt , respectively in 0.1 m HClO ₄ . The L1 ₀ ‐CoPtAu catalyst is also stable, with negligible degradation in mass activities and no obvious Co/Pt/Au composition changes after 10 000 potential cycles. The in situ surface‐enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy study indicates that the ternary catalyst activates the C−C bond more efficiently for ethanol oxidation.
