Synthesis of Bimetallic Nanoparticles Via Conventional and Non-Equilibrium Methods

Caption

Via conventional bimetallic synthesis methods, only readily miscible metals (shown in green) can mix with Cu while others (shown in red) form phase-segregated structures (such as core-shell). In contrast, via the non-equilibrium synthesis, Cu and other metals can be kinetically trapped in homogeneously mixed nanoparticles, regardless of their thermodynamic miscibility.
