Insight into the surface composition of bimetallic nanocatalysts obtained from microemulsions

The enhancement of catalysts efficiency of bimetallic nanoparticles depends on the ability to exert control over surface composition. However, results relating surface composition and feeding solution of bimetallic nanoparticles synthesized in microemulsions are controversial and apparently contradictory. In order to comprehend how the resulting surface can be modified under different synthesis conditions and for different pairs of metals, a...
