  • Group 11 metal nanoparticles (Au Ag and Cu NPs), bimetallic (AuAg core-shell and alloys NPs with varying composition) and anisotropic nanoparticles (Au nanorods of various aspect ratio) have been prepared using photochemically generated ketyl radicals.
  • The system was also successfully applied to the production of ZnS, CdS quantum dots and ansitropic ZnS nanoparticles.
