The core of the problem : Electrocatalysts need to be highly active and durable under harsh reactive environments in order to meet the requirements for future automotive applications. Platinum‐group‐metal‐based core–shell and core–shell‐like nanostructures have great potential in the design of multifunctional catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR; see picture).
