Abstract
Au–Pt bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by a seeded growth method. Au NPs with different sizes were obtained by reducing HAuCl 4 with butyllithium, and AuPt bimetallic NPs were synthesized by reducing H 2PtCl 6 with oleylamine using the pre-synthesized Au NPs as seeds. The size of Au seeds was found to be a key factor on the structure of Au–Pt bimetallic NPs. Using big Au NP seeds (8 nm or 12 nm) resulted in the formation of Au–Pt dendritic structures. While relatively small Au NPs (3 nm) were used as seeds, the fast atomic diffusion inside relatively small bimetallic NPs will result in an Au–Pt alloy formation.
