Pt/Pd bimetallic nanoparticles were prepared by ultrasonic irradiation of aqueous solutions containing salts of both metal ions. Uniform bimetallic particles were found to have a 2.8 nm average diameter and a narrow size distribution. The size was similar to Pt monometallic particles, and the shape was similar to Pd monometallic particles, both prepared by ultrasound in the same way.
