Abstract A preparative method to control the shape of platinum (Pt) nanoparticles in the presence of sodium polyacrylate (PAA) or poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) is described. Regardless of the kind of protective polymer used, the dominant shape of Pt nanoparticles was controlled by changing the reduction rate of Pt4+ ions. Tetrahedral particles predominated by using H2 reduction of H2[PtCl6]. Methanol reduction generated mainly truncated octahedral particles. It seems that the slow H2 reduction of Pt4+ ions favorably leads to the formation of tetrahedral Pt nuclei enclosed with four {111} planes that have the lowest surface energy. The truncated octahedral nuclei are formed by the faster reduction with methanol. The selective growth of the {111} planes takes place at a lower polymer concentration and results in the generation of cubic nanoparticles.
