First synthesis of air-stable NiZn homogeneous alloy nanoparticles through chemical reduction
We successfully synthesized NiZn homogeneous alloy nanoparticles, which were mixed at the atomic level, for the first time through a chemical reduction method with sodium-naphthalenide as a reducing agent. The NiZn alloy nanoparticles were stable even in air for at least half a year, although Zn is...

Summary: | We successfully synthesized NiZn homogeneous alloy nanoparticles, which were mixed at the atomic level, for the first time through a chemical reduction method with sodium-naphthalenide as a reducing agent. The NiZn alloy nanoparticles were stable even in air for at least half a year, although Zn is typically easily oxidized.
Air-stable NiZn homogeneous alloy nanoparticles were synthesized by sodium-naphthalenide-driven reduction at the controlled reduction speed of Ni and Zn ions. |
