Abstract
A variety of metallic nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution have been synthesized in a facile one-phase method in which amine-borane complexes are applied as reducing agents. It is particularly striking that large colloidal crystals with sizes up to tens of micrometers can directly form from the reaction mixtures without any further treatment. By using the synthetic route described, large-scale syntheses of both mono- and alloyed metallic nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution can be easily achieved.
