This report presents a novel method to synthesis of platinum and palladium alloy nano-dots via reducing mixed solution of Pt and Pd precursors by photo-irradiation in the presence of thiol molecules. The photosynthesis method is simple and efficient; as it could furnish a homogeneous reducing enviro...
