Template synthesis and characterization of Ni-Pd nanowires

One-dimensional Ni-Pd nanostructures are potentially highly effective materials for a large number of technological applications. Here, we report a method to fabricate Ni@Pd nanowires with core-shell structure via galvanic replacement reaction using nickel nanowires as templates. The synthesis is simple, cost effective and allows the production of Ni@Pd alloy nanowires on a large scale.
