Environmentally benign synthesis of virus-templated, monodisperse, iron-platinum nanoparticles.
The use of an engineered variant of a plant virus, Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV), as a template for directed mineralization provides an environmentally benign route to monodisperse iron-platinum nanoparticles of approximately 30 nm diameter.
