To enable systematic exploration of nanoparticle architectures and compositions.
To understand structure formation in polyelemental nanoparticle systems.

Main Methods:

Utilized polymer nanoreactor-mediated synthesis.
Created libraries of nanoparticles with all combinations of five metallic elements (Au, Ag, Co, Cu, Ni).
Independently controlled composition and size of nanoparticles.

Main Results:

Achieved independent control over nanoparticle composition and size.
Gained insights into factors governing alloy formation versus phase separation at the nanoscale.
Developed novel routes for synthesizing complex nanostructures.

Conclusions:

The new synthesis method enables systematic exploration of multimetallic nanoparticle libraries.
Understanding nanoscale structure formation is crucial for designing advanced nanomaterials.
This work opens avenues for creating previously inaccessible nanostructures.
