The production of bimetallic nanoparticles with ultrasmall sizes is the constant pursuit in chemistry and materials science because of their promising applications in catalysis, electronics and sensing. Here we report ambient-temperature preparation of bimetallic NPs with tunable size and composition using microfluidic-controlled co-reduction of two metal precursors on silicon surface. Instead of free diffusion of metal ions in bulk system, microfluidic flow could well control the local ions concentration, thus leading to homogenous and controllable reduction rate among different nucleation sites. By controlling precursor concentration, flow rate and reaction time, we rationally design a series of bimetallic NPs including Ag-Cu, Ag-Pd, Cu-Pt, Cu-Pd and Pt-Pd NPs with ultrasmall sizes (~ 3.0 nm), tight size distributions (relative standard deviation (RSD) < 21%), clean surface, and homogenous elemental compositions among particles (standard deviation (SD) of weight ratios < 3.5%). This approach provides a facile, green and scalable method toward the synthesis of diverse bimetallic NPs with excellent activity.
