We show the design of noble Au/Cu bimetallic nanostructures by a gentle solution process. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis confirm the presence of both Au and Cu in the Au/Cu bimetallic nanostructures. The Au/Cu catalyst was explored as an efficient electrocatalyst for methanol oxidation with a current density of 5.71 mA/cm2 at 0.46 V. � 2020 Wiley-VCH GmbH
