Pt–Co alloyed nanoparticles can be facilely immobilized onto CN x nanotubes due to the incorporated nitrogen, report Yanwen Ma, Zheng Hu, and co‐workers on p. 4953 . The as‐prepared electrocatalysts exhibit good performance for oxygen reduction reactions in acidic media arising from the high dispersion and alloying effect of Pt–Co nanoparticles, as well as the intrinsic catalytic capacity of CN x nanotubes, which is significant for the development of fuel cells.
