Abstract

Cubic platinum nanoparticles (4-18 nm) have been synthesized for the first time in solution by the controlled reduction of K2PtCl4 with hydrogen gas in the presence of sodium polyacrylate as a capping material. The nanoparticles are found to have fee structures, similar to the bulk metal with {100} facets.
