“…[11,12] A belt conveyor system using a cart has been adopted for the irradiation, wherein the irradiation time is less than 10 s. Therefore, this method is suitable for the mass production of nanoparticle catalysts. Previously, we reported the synthesis of monometallic nanoparticles on support materials, such as Au/Fe 3 O 4 [12] and Pt/TiO 2 , [13] using an EBIRM. In addition, by simply increasing the number of metal ion species, we successfully obtained bimetallic and trimetallic nanoparticles on support materials, such as PtAu/Fe 2 O 3 , [14] PtCu/Fe 2 O 3 , [14] PtNi/Fe 2 O 3 , [14] PtRu/C,[15À17] PtCu/C, [18] PtCo/C, [19] AuPd/C, [20] and PtRuAu/C.…”
