Thickness-dependent humidity sensing by poly(vinyl alcohol) stabilized Au–Ag and Ag–Au core–shell bimetallic nanomorph resistors

We herein report a simple chemical route to prepare Au–Ag and Ag–Au core–shell bimetallic nanostructures by reduction of two kinds of noble metal ions in the presence of a water-soluble polymer such as poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). PVA was intentionally chosen as it can play a dual role of a supporting...
