In this work, we report a synthetic strategy to create PtAg dots supported on plate-like Au nanoparticles and explore their applications in electrocatalytic formic acid oxidation. The highly dispersed nature of the catalytic Pt centers and the successful construction of PtAg−Au trimetallic interfaces makes the current nanostructure an ideal system to allow for a synergetic effect between Pt, Au, and Ag, leading to improved electrocatalysis. Compared with commercial Pt/C, our PtAg-on-Au heterogenous nanoplates exhibit superior mass activity, along with enhanced reaction kinetics and long-term durability for FAOR in an acidic medium. Density functional theory (DFT) simulation results indicate that AgPtAu(111) exhibits a relatively high activity for HCOOH oxidation into CO<sub>2</sub> among the various Au-based catalysts.

Aiming to identify the governing principles of low molecular weight corona, which remain underinvestigated, our study covers broad concentration ranges up to the solubility limit of the AAs. Isothermal experiments reveal that the highly soluble AAs valine, proline, and lysine form extensive multilayers on the nanoparticle surface, and infrared measurements indicate intermolecular interactions, particularly with valine and lysine, for higher AA contents. Conversely, the low solubility of tyrosine and glutamic acid restricts their adsorption capacity, despite their higher partitioning on the solid surface. Parameters derived from fitting a classic saturation model seem to align with well‐documented physicochemical properties such as the hydrophobicity and the complexity indices—a promising first step towards formulating design principles. Scaling these parameters by the AA solubility reveals a clear correlation with the adsorption behavior. In adsorption experiments with AA model mixtures, sequential incubation increases the adsorption capacity for valine and proline, whereas simultaneous incubation with these AAs reduces tyrosine’s capacity.
