Abstract

Pd/Ag bimetallic nanoparticles have been synthesized successfully by reducing PdCl2 and AgNO3 mixture in ethylene glycol solution using the solvothermal method. The prepared samples have been characterized by UV–vis, XRD, TEM, HRTEM, EDS, and XPS, respectively. Moreover, the bimetallic particles possess alloy and core-shell structure from the HRTEM images. Here, the lattice fringe spacing of Pd/Ag bimetallic nanoparticles corresponds to its (111) plane, which is between that of the Pd and Ag nanoparticles prepared under the same conditions. Furthermore, the possible formation mechanism and factors influencing the formation of Pd/Ag bimetallic nanoparticles, such as reaction temperature and time, have also been investigated.
