Abstract

Presented here is the synthesis of an ordered bcc copper-palladium nanoalloy, via the decomposition of a Pd nanoparticle@metal-organic framework composite material. In situ XRD measurements were performed in order to understand the mechanism of the decomposition process. This result gives a further perspective into the synthesis of new nanomaterials via metal-organic framework decomposition.
