Preparation of well-crystallized Pd20Te7 alloy nanoparticulate catalysts with uniform structure and composition in liquid-phase

▶ Solution condition can be controlled by the metal complex calculations using the critical stability constants. ▶ Pd20Te7 alloy can be synthesized from the solution containing specific metal complexes. ▶ Well-crystallized Pd20Te7 alloy nanoparticles with a quite narrow content range were obtained only in the pores of SiO2.
