Smart seeding to create gold-silver alloy shell nanoparticles

In this CrystEngComm Hot Article, Xinling Tang and Masaharu Tsuji from Kyushu University, Japan study the effects of shapes of Au cores on the growth of Ag shells using dendritic branched Au nanoparticles as Au seeds in DMF. They succeeded in the preparation of Au core Au/Ag alloy denoted as Au@Au/Ag particles.
