Morphologies à la carte : A kinetic control strategy has been utilized to fabricate bimetallic nanoparticles. Using cubic Pd nanocrystals as seeds and a syringe pump that enables precise control over precursor injection rate, it is possible to synthesize Pd–Ag bimetallic nanoparticles with tailored shapes (see picture: dimers, eccentric hybrid bars, and core–shell structures) and tunable localized surface plasmon resonances.
