Abstract

We explore the possibility of preparation of Pt₃M (M = Fe, Ni and Co) nanocubes using carbon monoxide as an alternative protocol under different experimental conditions. The results suggest that the sole carbon monoxide flow at ambient pressure can enable the formation of binary Pt–M nanocrystals, but it is inadequate to facilitate the formation of Pt₃M nanocubes in the given system under specified conditions.
