                      (PC) gives copper and zinc nanoparticles which are stable in
                      the absence of capping ligands (surfactants) for more than
                      six weeks. Co-decomposition of 1 and 2 yields the
                      intermetallic nano-brass phases β-CuZn and γ-Cu3Zn
                      depending on the chosen molar ratios of the precursors.
                      Nanoparticles were characterized by high-angle annular dark
                      field-scanning transmission electron microscopy
                      (HAADF-STEM), dynamic light scattering and powder X-ray
                      diffractometry. Microstructure characterizations were
                      complemented by STEM with spatially resolved
                      energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry and X-ray photoelectron
                      spectroscopy. Synthesis in ILs yields significantly smaller
                      nanoparticles than in PC. β-CuZn alloy nanoparticles are
                      precursors to catalysts for methanol synthesis from the
                      synthesis gas H2/CO/CO2 with a productivity of 10.7
