Au/Pd alloy nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully synthesized using HAuCl4, H2PdCl4, and α-thioglycerol as precursors and a stabilizer, respectively, by microwave-induced plasma in liquid process (MWPLP). After only several minutes of microwave irradiation, metallic NPs were obtained in aqueous environment without any reducing agent. The reduction mechanism of metal ions was confirmed by UV–vis spectral changes. The results from HAADF-STEM and EDS indicated that synthesized NPs were bimetallic Au/Pd. Moreover, XRD patterns of synthesized NPs implied that the composition of bimetallic NPs could be controlled by changing the initial ratio of metal precursors.
