Silver‐core bimetallic nanoparticles form spontaneously from a physical mixture of polymer‐protected silver nanoparticles and other noble metal nanoparticles, for example platinum, rhodium, and palladium. An electron transfer reaction from Ag to other metal nanoparticles was proposed as the initial interaction between these metal nanoparticles. In general, parent Ag nanoparticles are relatively large compared with the other metal nanoparticles. This interaction results in the formation of small Ag‐core particles covered by mixed metal atoms.
