abstract = {Multimetallic shape-controlled nanoparticles offer great
opportunities to tune the activity, selectivity, and
stability of electrocatalytic surface reactions. However, in
many cases, our synthetic control over particle size,
composition, and shape is limited requiring trial and error.
Deeper atomic-scale insight in the particle formation
process would enable more rational syntheses. Here we
exemplify this using a family of trimetallic PtNiCo
nanooctahedra obtained via a low-temperature,
surfactant-free solvothermal synthesis. We analyze the
competition between Ni and Co precursors under coreduction
“one-step” conditions when the Ni reduction rates
prevailed. To tune the Co reduction rate and final content,
we develop a “two-step” route and track the evolution of
the composition and morphology of the particles at the
atomic scale. To achieve this, scanning transmission
electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray elemental
mapping techniques are used. We provide evidence of a
heterogeneous element distribution caused by
element-specific anisotropic growth and create octahedral
nanoparticles with tailored atomic composition like Pt1.5M,
PtM, and PtM1.5 (M = Ni + Co). These trimetallic
electrocatalysts have been tested toward the oxygen
reduction reaction (ORR), showing a greatly enhanced mass
activity related to commercial Pt/C and less activity loss
than binary PtNi and PtCo after 4000 potential cycles.},
