Ordered intermetallic nanomaterials with a well-defined crystal structure and fixed stoichiometry facilitate the predictable control of their electronic structure and catalytic performance. To obtain the thermodynamically stable intermetallic structures, the conventional approaches with high-temperature annealing are still far from satisfactory, because of annealing-induced aggregation and sintering of nanomaterials. Herein, a general wet-chemical method is developed to synthesize a series of noble metal-based intermetallic nanocrystals, including hexagonal close-packed (hcp) PtBi nanoplates, face-centered cubic (fcc) Pd3Pb nanocubes, and hcp Pd(2.5)Bi(1.5)nanoparticles. During the synthetic process, Br(-)ions play two important roles for the formation of ordered intermetallic structures: i) Br(-)ions can coordinate with the metal ions to decrease their reduction potentials thus slowing down the reduction kinetics. ii) Br(-)ions can combine with molecular oxygen to generate an oxidative etching effect, hence reconstructing the atom arrangement, which is beneficial for the formation of the intermetallic structure. As a proof-of-concept application, Pd3Pb nanocubes are used as electrocatalysts for ethanol and methanol oxidation reactions, which exhibit significantly improved electrochemical performance compared with the commercial Pd black catalyst.
