Section:Abstract
Morphological control over platinum nanoparticles was realized by varying the amount of NaNO3 added to a polyol process, where H2PtCl6 was reduced by ethylene glycol to form PtCl42- and Pt0 at 160 °C. As the molar ratio between NaNO3 and H2PtCl6 was increased from 0 to 11, the morphology of Pt nanoparticles evolved from irregular spheroids with rounded profiles to tetrahedra and octahedra with well-defined facets. synthesis, and the nitrite could then form stable complexes with both Pt(II) and Pt(IV) species. As a result, the reduction of Pt precursors by ethylene glycol was greatly slowed. This change in reaction kinetics altered the growth rates associated with different crystallographic directions of the Pt nanocrystals and ultimately led to the formation of different morphologies.

Control of Branching in Ni3C1– Nanoparticles and Their Conversion into Ni12P5 Nanoparticles
Mehmet F. Sarac, Wei-Chen Wu, and Joseph B. Tracy
Dendritic Ni3C1–x nanoparticles (NPs) with controlled branching have been synthesized through the thermolysis (230 °C) of nickel acetylacetonate using oleylamine as a reducing agent and 1-octadecene (ODE) as the solvent. Addition of trioctylphosphine (TOP)...

Highly Uniform Platinum Icosahedra Made by Hot Injection-Assisted GRAILS Method
Wei Zhou, Jianbo Wu, and Hong Yang
Highly uniform Pt icosahedral nanocrystals with an edge length of 8.8 nm were synthesized in nonhydrolytic systems using the hot injection-assisted GRAILS (gas reducing agent in liquid solution) method. The results show the key factors for the shape ...
