Synthesis of Platinum Nanoparticles Using Pluronic~R F108NF and Catalytic Effect

摘要

This study examined the efficient preparation of platinum nanoparticles using pluronic~R F108NF and K2[PtCl4] in water under non- classical condition. The nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The platinum nanoparticles were used as a catalyst to reduce 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol with NaBH4. The resulting product was confirmed by UV-vis spectroscopy and liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy.
