Superior catalytic activity and stability for the methanol oxidation reaction of a direct methanol–air fuel cell is achieved with “clean” ultrathin CuPt3 wavy nanowires. The nanowires are synthesized for the first time by functionalizing CuPt3 nanoparticles with amine-terminated poly(N-isopropylacry...
