Herein we reported a green synthetic route for the preparation of Au–Pt core–shell nanoparticle chains in a two-step route without the use of any surfactants. In the synthesis, compressed hydrogen was used as a reducing reagent, which also promoted the assembly of particle chains. The as-prepared mo...
