Metal alloy nanoparticles

A generalized nano-thermodynamic model has been constructed that can rapidly predict the elemental distribution in multi-metal alloy nanoparticles as a function of the particle size, shape, composition and temperature. The model can be used with studies on catalytic activity of such nanoparticles [S Divi, A Chatterjee, Generalized nano-thermodynamic model for capturing size-dependent surface segregation in multi-metal alloy nanoparticles, RSC Advances 8, 10409].
