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 and tunable localized surface plasmon resonances.
