Abstract
A method for producing mesoporous platinum nanoparticles without using templating agents is provided. The method involves preparing a solution comprising water, platinum nanoparticle seeds, a platinum salt and a reducing agent, and heating the solution to a temperature between 150° C. and 250° C. at a rate of between 1° C./min and 15° C./min under a pressure of between 5 and 20 atm. The method allows obtaining mesoporous platinum nanoparticles having controlled shape and controlled pore dimensions. The mesoporous platinum nanoparticles are useful as catalysts in chemical precision reactions and for the production of artificial enzymes for diagnostics and nanomedicine applications.
