2 Experimental Section Chemicals and Materials. Chloroauric acid tetrahydrate (HAuCl4 4H2O, Sinopharm, 99.9%), hexachloroplatinic acid (H2PtCl6, Sigma-Aldrich, 99.9%), oleylamine (OAm, Aladdin), hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB, Sinopharm, 99%), trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO, Sigma-Aldrich, 99%), hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CTAC, Sinopharm, 98%), didodecyldimethylammonium (DDAB, Aladdin, 98%), octadecylamine (Sigma-Aldrich, 99%), and tetrahydronaphthalene (Sigma-Aldrich, 99%) were all used as received. All syntheses were carried out in one-neck flask (25 ml). One-Pot Synthesis of Au-Pt Core-Shell Star-Shaped Decahedra. In a standard procedure, 300 mg of CTAB, 100 mg of TOPO and 6 ml of OAm were mixed in a flask and the mixture was heated to 180 C in air under magnetic stirring. Meanwhile, 12.4 mg of HAuCl4 and 15.5 mg of H2PtCl6 were dissolved into 3 ml of OAm, resulting in a yellow precursor solution. After that, the precursor solution was rapidly injected into the hot solution containing CTAB and TOPO with a pipette. The reaction was allowed to continue at 180 ºC for 3 h in air. Finally, the solution was centrifuged and washed three times with ethanol and hexane to remove CTAB, TOPO and OAm before characterization. We systematically investigated the effects of various parameters, including the duration of reaction, the amount of CTAB and TOPO, the type of solvent, as well as the temperature, on the morphology of resultant Au-Pt nanocrystals. Two-step Synthesis of Au-Pt Core-Shell Star-Shaped Decahedra. Au-Pt core-shell star-shaped decahedra were synthesized by seeded growth with Au decahedra as seeds. Firstly, 3 ml of OAm containing 12.4 mg of HAuCl4 was rapidly injected into a mixture of OAm (6 ml), CTAB (300 mg), and TOPO (100 mg) at 180 C under magnetic stirring in an effort to prepare Au decahedral seeds. After the solution changed to a deep purple color within 5 min, the products were collected by centrifugation and then washed one time with ethanol and hexane. Secondly, the as-prepared Au seeds were dispersed in 6 ml of OAm containing 300 mg of CTAB and 100 mg of TOPO. The solution was pre-heated to 180 C under magnetic stirring for 15 min. Subsequently, 3 ml of OAm solution containing 15.5 mg of H2PtCl6 was rapidly injected into the pre-heated solution with a pipette. After that, the reaction was allowed to continue at 180 C for 3 h. Finally, the solution was centrifuged and washed three times with ethanol and hexane to remove excess CTAB, TOPO and OAm for further applications. S2

3 Morphological, Structural and Elemental Characterizations. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of the obtained samples were taken using a Philips CM 200 microscope operated at 200 kv. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) was performed using a FEI Tecnai F30 G2 microscope operated at 300 kv. High-angle annular dark-field scanning TEM (HAADF-STEM) and Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) mapping analyses were taken on a FEI Titan ChemiSTEM equipped with a probe-corrector and a Super-X EDX detector system. This microscope was operated at 200 kv with a probe current of 50 pa and a convergent angle of 21.4 mrads for illumination. The percentages of Au and Pt in the samples were determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS, Perkin-Elmer Elan DRC IIICP-MS). Extinction spectra of the samples were recorded using a UV-vis spectrometer (Hitachi UV-4100). Preparation of Carbon-Supported Catalysts. Carbon black (Vulcan XC-72) was used as support for making Au-Pt catalysts (Au-Pt/C). [1] In a standard preparation, carbon black particles were dispersed in chloroform and sonicated for 30 min. The as-prepared Au-Pt nanocrystals (20 wt%) were added to this dispersion. This mixture was further sonicated for 10 min and stirred for 12 h. After that, the solids were precipitated out by centrifugation and re-dispersed in n-butylamine at a concentration of 0.5 mg-catalyst/ml. The mixture was kept under magnetic stirring for 3 days, and then centrifuged and washed three times with methanol. Electrochemical Measurement. A three-electrode cell was used to measure the electrochemical performances of Au-Pt/C catalysts including the commercial Pt/C (ETEK). A glassy-carbon rotating disk electrode (RDE) was used as the working electrode (area: ~0.196 cm 2 ). A 1 cm 2 platinum foil and a HydroFlex hydrogen electrode were used as the counter electrode and the reference. The reference electrode was placed in a separate compartment connected with main cell via a salt bridge. The hydrogen reference electrode was calibrated before all the tests via Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). All potentials were referenced to the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). The electrolyte for cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurement and linear scan voltammetry (LSV) test for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was 0.1-M HClO4 solution, diluted from 70% double-distilled perchloric acid (GFS Chemicals, USA) with Millipore ultrapure water (18.2 MΩ). To make catalyst ink, 5 mg of Au-Pt/C catalysts was dispersed in 10 ml of a mixed solvent and sonicated for 10 min. The solvent contained a mixture of de-ionized water, isopropanol, and 5% Nafion 117 solution at the volumetric ratio of 8:2: μl of the catalyst S3

4 ink was added onto the RDE and dried under the air flow for 30 min to make the working electrode. The loading amount of Au-Pt core-shell catalysts on the RDE was determined to be ~15 μgmetal/cm 2. The electrochemical active surface area (ECSA) was determined from the CV curves, calculating the amount of charges by integrating hydrogen desorption region after double layer correction. The CV measurement was carried in argon-saturated 0.1 M HClO4 solution at room temperature with a scan rate of 50 mv/s. ORR LSV cures were measured at the rotating rate of 1600 rpm in a 0.1-M HClO4 solution, which was purged with oxygen for 30 min prior to, and during testing. The scan rate for ORR measurement was set at 10 mv/s. Data were used after ir-drop correction. The accelerated stability test (ADT) was carried out between 0.6 V and 1.0 V at a scan rate of 100 mv/s 1 for 30,000 cycles in oxygen saturated 0.1-M HClO4 solution.
