In this study, we developed a solid-state atomic replacement method for metal catalysts, enabling the exchange of metal atoms between single atoms and nanoalloys to create new combinations of nanoalloys and single atoms. We observed that partial metal interchange occurred between the RuNi nanoalloy...
