In Situ Shaping Without Surface-Capping Agents

3 In Situ Shaping Without Surface-Capping Agents 

We developed a method to synthesize shaped Pt nanocrystals directly on three-dimensional supports without a surface-capping agent. When the Pt precursors were reduced in the presence of carbon supports with high surface areas, nucleation occurred on the supports and the nanoparticle was formed without surface-capping
