Abstract

Au–Ag bimetallic nanoparticles have been fabricated by one-step simple electrochemical deposition method using ionic liquid as green electrolyte (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoro borate). Fabricated Au–Ag bimetallic nanoparticles have been characterized using cyclic voltammetry (CV), FE-SEM, UV–vis spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. The electrodeposited Au–Ag bimetallic nanoparticles were found in the size range of 16–30 nm, respectively. This type of Au–Ag bimetallic nanoparticles could be directly applied for the optoelectronic and biosensing applications.
