Designing an Optimal Ion Adsorber at the Nanoscale: The Unusual Nucleation of AgNP/Co$^{2+}$ -- Ni$^{2+}$ Binary Mixtures
A coarse-grained simulation study finds that the effective attraction strength between ions and nanoparticles, not the size ratio, controls whether aggregates are compact or branched, and uses this to interpret AgNP/Co2+ and AgNP/Ni2+ experiments.
