Pd@M x Cu 1− x(M=Au, Pd, Pt) nanocages with porous alloy walls and a yolk–shell structure were prepared by using a galvanic replacement reaction that involved Pd@Cu core–shell nanocubes and noble‐metal‐salt precursors in ethylene glycol. As a substitute of the conventional sacrificial templates of Ag, the Cu‐based nanostructures can reduce the cost and provide more driving force for the galvanic replacement.
