Nickel platinum (NixPt1−x) nanoalloy monodisperse particles without the core–shell structure by colloidal synthesis

Abstract

We report a new and versatile colloidal route towards the synthesis of nanoalloys with controlled size and chemical composition in the solid solution phase (without phase segregation such as core–shell structure or Janus structure) or chemical ordering. The principle of the procedure is based on the correlation between the oxidation–reduction potential of metal cations present in the precursors and the required synthesis temperature to nucleate particles without phase segregation. The procedure is demonstrated via the synthesis of Face Centered Cubic (FCC) NixPt1−x nanoparticles, which was elaborated by the co-reduction of nickel(II) acetylacetonate and platinum(II) acetylacetonate with 1,2-hexadecanediol in benzyl ether, using oleylamine and oleic acid as surfactants. The chemical composition and solid solution FCC structure of the nanoalloy are demonstrated by crosslinking imaging and chemical analysis using transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. Whatever the chemical composition inspected, a systematic expansion of the lattice parameters is measured in relation to the respective bulk counterpart.
