Microemulsions as reaction media for the synthesis of Pt nanoparticles
Literature Information
D. G. Angelescu, W. Sigle
For the synthesis of Pt nanoparticles we used water-in-oil droplet microemulsions as templates. The focus was on the correlation between the size of the microemulsion droplets and that of the resulting Pt particles. To study this correlation in a systematic way, all particles were synthesized at the wateremulsification failure boundaries where the microemulsion droplets are spherical and where their size can easily be tuned by the amount of added water. The metallic particles were synthesized by mixing two microemulsions one of which contains the metal salt H2PtCl6 and the other the reducing agent NaBH4. The size and structure of the microemulsion droplets was studied viasmall-angle X-ray scattering, while the Pt particles were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy in combination with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and selected area electron diffraction. The clear correlation between droplet and particle size was further supported by accompanying Monte Carlo simulations.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
