Spreading the formic acid (HCOOH) fuel cells demands a better anode electrocatalyst for the oxidation of formic acid. The catalytic efficiency of platinum (Pt)– the only choice of practicability, is mainly limited by its intrinsic affinity to CO, thus desiring a proper release. Herein, theoretical calculations are first leveraged to find that the introduction of iridium (Ir) can facilitate HCOOH oxidation with robust CO tolerance through a dehydrogenation pathway. Then, this strategy experimentally by designing a new trimetallic catalyst of 2D porous PtIrBi nanoplates (p‐PtIrBi NPs) is implemented. The optimized p‐PtIrBi NPs/C exhibits a very high mass activity of 8.2 A mg−1pt and a high retention rate of 55.9% after the durability test, which is among the best formic acid oxidation catalysts reported to date, much higher than those of PtIrBi NPs/C, PtBi NPs/C, and Pt/C. The CO‐stripping and in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) experiments collectively evidence that two types of due site, i.e., "Pt‐Bi" and "Ir‐Bi", endow the catalyst with suppressed CO‐poisoning property to achieve super‐high activity and stability for formic acid oxidation reaction.
