Co-Pt intermetallic compound nanoparticles were formed by plasma-induced cathodic discharge electrolysis in molten LiCl-KCl electrolytes at 400-500°C under 1 atm of Ar atmosphere. Two different approaches were adopted: the displacement reaction between an electrochemically formed Co nanoparticle and Pt(II), and the codeposition of Co and Pt. In both approaches, special attention was paid to controlling the intermetallic composition of the Co-Pt particle by the experimental condition. It was found that both the composition of the particle and its magnetic property were affected by the residence time of the nanoparticle formed in the melt after terminating the electrolysis. In the displacement reaction, the Pt-rich phase (CoPt 3 ) was predominantly formed at an early stage of the residence, which changed to a Co-rich phase (Co 3 Pt) when the residence time became longer. The coercivity of the obtained particle was 54.1 kA m -1 at 400°C and was 64.9 kA m -1 at 500°C. In the case of the codeposition, the composition of the Co-Pt nanoparticle also changed from the Pt-rich phase to the Co-rich phase with the long residence time after terminating the electrolysis. The coercivity of the obtained particle showed a higher value (375 kA m -1 ) than that of the particle obtained by the displacement reaction.
