A new method for the synthesis of hydrophobized, catalytically active Pt nanoparticles.
A single step method for the synthesis of catalytically active, hydrophobic Pt nanoparticles by the spontaneous reduction of aqueous PtCl(6)2- ions by hexadecylaniline molecules at a liquid-liquid interface is described.
