A. Henglein, Preparation and optical aborption spectra of AucorePtshell and PtcoreAushell colloidal nanoparticles in aqueous solution, J PHYS CH B, 104(10), 2000, pp. 2201-2203
Bimetallic gold and platinum particles of the Pt-Au and Au-Pt core-shell ty
pe are prepared using hydrogen reduction and radiolysis techniques. The opt
ical absorption spectra are recorded and compared to various Au-Pt particle
s described in the literature. AucorePtshell particles catalyze the hydroge
n reduction of silver ions to yield trimetallic particles.
