An ultrathin PtNi NWs mediated strategy to form PtNiPd core–shell NWs is constructed. The combination of 1D structure, high‐index bounded surface, and unique core–shell structure with high activity of the PtNi shell results in superior performance toward both the liquid fuel oxidation reactions and oxygen reduction reaction.
