Semiconductor nanoparticles have been intensively studied because of their properties of quantum size effects [54]. A number of synthetic techniques have been reported and their characteristics have been studied by various spectroscopic methods [55, 56]. However, magnetic field effects (MFEs) on the photoelectrochemical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals had not until now been reported. 

Bimetallic nanoparticles (including monometallic ones) have attracted a great interest in scientific research and industrial applications, owing to their unique large sur-face-to-volume ratios and quantum-size effects [1,2,5,182]. Since industrial catalysts usually work on the surface of metals, the metal nanoparticles, which possess much larger surface area per unit volume or weight of metal than the bulk metal, have been considered as promising materials for catalysis.

The rapid development of nanotechnology has revolutionized scientific developments in recent decades [1]. The synthesis, characterization, and application of functionalized nanoparticles are currently a very active field of research [2], Due to the size limitation of metal nanoparticles, they show very unique properties, which are called nano-size effect or quantum-size effect , which is different from those of both bulk metals and metal atoms. Such specific properties are usually dominated by the atoms located on the surface. In nanoparticles systems, the number of atoms located on the surface of the particles increases tremendously with decreasing of the particle diameter [3].
