Synthetic method analysis of Ir0.85Bi0.15 solid-solution nanoparticles with excellent hydrazine-decomposition activity

Abstract

Atomic-level homogeneously mixed and well-dispersed Ir_0.85Bi_0.15 solid-solution nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized successfully for the first time despite large differences of crystal structures, redox potentials and atomic radii between Ir and Bi. Compared with Ir, the Ir_0.85Bi_0.15 solid-solution NPs exhibited superior cost-efficiency in hydrazine decomposition.
