Author:Mathe, Ntombizodwa R; Scriba, Manfred R; Coville, NJDate:Nov 2014Bimetallic Pt nanoparticles were prepared by alloying Pt with the non-noble transition metals, Co and Ni, using a conventional heat-treatment (HT) method and microwaveirradiation (MW). The resulting samples were PteCo-Ht, PteNi-HT, PteCo, MW ...Read more
Author:Mathe, Ntombizodwa R; Coville, NJ; Olivier, JE; Scriba, Manfred RDate:2014Microwave-irradiation (MW) synthesis of nanostructured materials provides for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles, using fast and uniform heating rates. This procedure affords better control of the shape and size of the nanoparticles when ...Read more
