Abstract
The syntheses of hexadecylamine seed mediated Ag/M(M=Co, Ni, Pd and Pt) allied nanobimetallic particles were successfully carried out by the successive reduction of ligand capped metal ions with polyols, resulting in concomitant precipitation of some high index faceted hybrid Ag/M bimetal nanoparticles. The optical measurements revealed the existence of surface plasmon band and peak broadening that causes diffusion processes of the metal sols to decrease making it possible to monitor the changes spectrophotometrically. The bimetallic nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron microscopy techniques which confirm the formation of alloyed clusters.

They have not yet been copy edited and/or formatted in the publication house style, and may not yet have the full ScienceDirect functionality, e.g., supplementary files may still need to be added, links to references may not resolve yet etc. The text could still change before final publication.
Although accepted manuscripts do not have all bibliographic details available yet, they can already be cited using the year of online publication and the DOI, as follows: author(s), article title, Publication (year), DOI. Please consult the journal's reference style for the exact appearance of these elements, abbreviation of journal names and use of punctuation.
When the final article is assigned to an volumes/issues of the Publication, the Article in Press version will be removed and the final version will appear in the associated published volumes/issues of the Publication. The date the article was first made available online will be carried over.
