Fig. 1S. SEM images of CoFe (a) and AgFe (d) bimetallic systems as presented in Fig. 1. The corresponding X-ray maps of (b) Co (K1), (c) Fe (K1) and (e) Ag (K1) obtained from the two bimetallic systems CoFe and AgFe over the entire shown surface area (a, d). Areas of relatively high Fe concentrations are shown as bright regions in (c) and (f). In (b) less bright spots indicate areas of Co deposition whereas in (e) brighter spots indicate deposition of Ag at the surface of iron particles.

Fig. 2S. SEM images of AgCoFe (a) and CoAgFe (d) trimetallic systems as presented in Fig. 2. The corresponding X-ray maps of (b) Ag (K1), (c) Co (K1) and (d) Fe (K1) obtained from the two trimetallic systems AgCoFe and CoAgFe over the entire shown surface area (a, e). Areas of relatively high Fe concentrations are shown as bright regions in (d) and (h). In (c), (f) and (g) less bright spots indicate areas of Co and primary Ag deposition whereas in (b) brighter spots indicate deposition of Ag at the surface of iron particles as second deposited metal after Co.

solution on average % RSE over 30 min of reaction. Experimental conditions: [SMX]0 =
39.5 M, [Fe2+] = [Fe0] = 2.23 mM, m (Fe0) = 2.5 mg, pHi = 5.63.
