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.

Keywords: Bimetallic nanoparticle, binary, core-shell, immiscible metals, Janus-like, nanoalloys.
