Claim 12:
13. The method according to claim 1, wherein:
the providing to the reactor a first flow stream includes:
providing to the reactor a series of aqueous metal salt solutions, each comprising a different type of transition metal ions; and

the method further comprising:
sequentially exposing the branched polymeric templates to each aqueous metal salt solution of the series of salt solutions; and
forming concentric layers of metallic nanoparticles of the different type of transition metal ions,
wherein the reducing in the reactor the ions of the transition metal ions includes:
reducing of the ions of the transition metal in a respective aqueous metal salt solution before exposing the branched polymeric templates to a next aqueous metal salt solution of the series of aqueous metal salt solutions.
