Abstract:Recent advances in nanotechnology make it possible to create
nanomaterials with novel microstructure and physicochemical properties.
Different structures of nanoparticles of immiscible elements including
Janus, core-shell, binary metallic alloys size of 100 nm with near spherical
shapes can be synthesized using chemical, mechanochemical or physical
methods. The bimetallic nanoparticles exhibit unique properties which are
utilized in the design of efficient applications. The present review is
devoted to contemporary state of the studies on the methods to produce
bimetallic nanoparticles formed of immiscible metals (BMINPs). Taking into
account a large number of works in this field of the studies in the present
review we are going to consider general methods of producing BMINPs with
diverse structures: core-shell, nanoalloys, Janus-like. Also, the
perspectives on the usage of bulk materials produced by BMINPs consolidation
are discussed.
