Popis: The method of pulsed laser ablation in liquids (PLAL) is applied for synthesis of composite nanostructures on the basis of TiOx and ZnO combined with noble metals like Au, Pt and Pd. The metallic plate immersed in water is laser ablated by nanosecond Nd:YAG pulsed laser irradiation. Its fundamental wavelength and the fourth harmonic are used, respectively, to produce and to modify the morphology and structure of the nano-objects. The synthesis procedure consists of two consecutive steps: laser ablation of the selected metal targets followed by unfocused laser beam irradiation of the initial colloids of nanostructures. The phase composition, structural and the shape and size morphological features were assessed by analytical method – transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in its main modes – Bright Field TEM (BF TEM), High Resolution TEM (HRTEM) and Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED). Formation of bimetallic polycrystalline alloys and Pt/Ti(TixOy) and Pd/Ti(TixOy) core-shell nanoparticles was founded.
