One-step synthesis of oxidation-resistant Cu@Ag core–shell nanoparticles

One-step synthesis of wet chemical method is proposed for the preparation of core-shell nanostructures of copper and silver. This facile and environment friendly fabrication simplifies the surface treatment of copper particles to avoid copper core to be oxidised before coating silver. The thermal stability against oxidation and electrical properties of Cu@Ag core-shell nanoparticles are investigat...
