摘要

The atomic redistribution processes occurring in multiparticle nanostructures are hardly understood. To obtain a more detailed insight, we applied high-resolution microscopic, diffraction and spectroscopic characterization techniques to investigate the fine structure and elemental distribution of various bimetallic aerogels with 1:1 compositions, prepared by self-assembly of single monometallic nanoparticles. The system Au-Ag exhibited a complete alloy formation, whereas Pt-Pd aerogels formed a Pd-based network with embedded Pt particles. The assembly of Au and Pd nanoparticles resulted in a Pd-shell formation around the Au particles. This work confirms that bimetallic aerogels are subject to reorganization processes during their gel formation.
