Surfactant-free, fast synthetic approach for Au-Pt, Pd-Pt and Au-Pd nanostructures.
It has originated from an aromaticity driven process.
Au based bimetallics proceed via Au seed formation to attain core-shell structures.
Co-reduction of Pt4+ and Pd2+ helps Pd-Pt alloy formation.
Pd-Pt shows admirably high electrocatalytic performance among three bimetallics.
