Single-step synthesis of gold–silver alloy nanoparticles in ionic liquids by a sputter deposition technique

Ken-ichi Okazaki, Tomonori Kiyama, Kaori Hirahara, Nobuo Tanaka, Susumu Kuwabata and Tsukasa Torimoto


The simultaneous sputter deposition of gold and silver onto ionic liquids formed bimetallic alloy nanoparticles, which exhibited composition-sensitive surface plasmon resonance, the peak wavelength being red-shifted with an increase in the surface area of the gold foil targets sputtered.
