Bimetallic Nanoparticles

Bimetallic nanoparticles are tiny particles composed of two different metal elements combined at the nanoscale, typically less than 100 nanometers in size. Due to their small size and mixed composition, they often exhibit unique physical and chemical properties, such as enhanced catalytic activity, improved stability, or tailored optical features, compared to individual metal particles. These properties make them valuable in applications like catalysis, medicine, and sensing. Their structure can vary, with metals arranged in different configurations like core-shell or alloy formations, allowing scientists to fine-tune their behavior for specific use cases.
