Precise design of high efficacious catalysts and the insight into the mechanism for photo-electrocoupling catalytic methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) are two major issues for the development and practical application of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). Herein, a novel self-standing three-dimensional nanosheet assembly PdAu nanoflower with local surface plasmon resonance effect is fabricated to acquire excellent catalytic performance and explore the photo-electrocatalytic mechanism for MOR. Interestingly, the Pd
