This study investigated the synthesis of platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) in ethylene glycol using low cost and low toxicity chemicals as reducing (ascorbic acid) and stabilizing agents (polyvinylpyrrolidone and sodium citrate). By monitoring the changes in the local chemical environment of the Pt atoms in real time by in situ dispersive X-ray absorption spectroscopy, it is observed that the NP formation kinetics involved three different stages within 3 h 30 min of the reaction: a reduction–nucleation burst, followed by diffusion-limited Ostwald ripening growth and subsequent stabilization of the NPs. The resulting Pt NPs were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, revealing a monodisperse average size distribution of 2.7 ± 0.5 nm, characterized by highly crystalline and stable Pt clusters, showing no significant aging for at least nine months.

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.
