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