This corrosion : Octahedral Pt–Ni alloy nanoparticles (NPs) are converted into concave Pt 3 Ni NPs by a coordination‐assisted chemical‐etching process (see scheme). The corroded concave Pt–Ni NPs have a higher density of low‐coordinate atoms in steps sites, a decisive property in heterogeneous catalysis.
