Synthesizing Colloidal Bimetallic Nanoparticles in Water Using a Dual-Ligand Strategy.
Controlled aqueous synthesis of bimetallic nanoparticles below 5 nm remains challenging due to reduction potential mismatches between noble and base metals, which often causes uncontrolled aggregation. Here, we propose a dual-ligand strategy to assist the commonly used seed-mediated method in aqueous phase to demonstra...
