Resumen:
We report on thermodynamic modeling and computer simulations on the electrochemicalgeneration of metallic and bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) by means of quenched moleculardynamics (QMD). The present results suggest that the spontaneous formation of core-shell NPsdepends on several factors, i.e. size and shape of the core, chemical composition of the system,and under-/oversaturation conditions. Homo- and heteroatomic prototypical systems wereconsidered. The former systems were Au and Pt. The latter were Ag(core)/Au(shell),Pt(core)/Au(shell), Au(core)/Ag(shell) and Au(core)/Pt(shell).
