A large‐scalable wet‐chemical approach to create networked Pt‐Pb nanowires (NWs) with tunable compositions is reported. Due to their 3D networked structure, alloy effect, rich defects/steps, and antipoisoning property of Pb, the networked Pt‐Pb NWs exhibit the best activity and durability towards ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR), compared with the networked Pt NWs and Pt/C.
