Mono- and bimetallic colloidal particles have gained increasing attention in science and application throughout the last several years. In this contribution, we present a synopsis of the wet chemical syntheses of these materials and survey potential applications in catalysis and materials science. Methods for the characterization of these particles and their surfaces are not reviewed here.
Bönnemann et al. (2001) studied this question.
