Zhaojun et al contributed a Perspective to Chinese Journal of Structural Chemistry. 

In this perspective, we embark on a brief exploration of recent advancements in the synthesis of alloy nanocrystals, with a particular focus on enhancing compositional homogeneity and tunability. We discuss the progress made in typical synthesis paradigms, encompassing conventional impregnation, wet-chemical reduction/pyrolysis, and the newly developed active-hydrogen-involved interfacial reduction strategy. Furthermore, we offer personal insights into the significance of these synthesis paradigms and their potential implications for future research and applications.
