Several methods are used to synthesize nanoalloy catalysts, including:
- Co-precipitation: Metal precursors are co-precipitated from a solution, followed by reduction to form alloy nanoparticles. - Chemical Reduction: Metal ions are reduced in a solution using a reducing agent, leading to the formation of alloy nanoparticles. - Thermal Decomposition: Metal precursors undergo thermal decomposition to produce nanoparticles. - Physical Methods: Techniques such as sputtering and laser ablation are used to produce nanoalloys.
Each synthesis method offers control over the particle size, composition, and morphology of the nanoalloy catalysts.
