Multi-structured platinum nanoclusters have been prepared through a one-step aqueous synthetic process by controlling pHs. The included structures are closely packed 3-dimensional (3D) dendrites, loosely packed 3D dendrites, short-order dendritic chains, long-order dendritic chains, flatten nanoclusters and monodisperse nanoparticles. The high resolution transmission electron microscopy images (HRTEM) display that the nanoclusters with a variety of structures are filled with grains of average size ~2.0 nm. The images of the nanoclusters demonstrated that Pt nanoparticles were not fused to each other, but their aggregations were separated by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The as-prepared Pt nanomaterials were studied by UV-visible absorption spectroscopy to identify their surface plasmon resonance (SPR) activities. The structure dependent SPR signals have been observed from 200 nm-800 nm.

There is great interest in the development of new multifunctional fluorescent-magnetic nanomaterials for use as multimodal diagnostic imaging probes and site-specific drug delivery tools. Metal nanoclusters (NCs) have been reported to possess either fluorescent or magnetic properties, but not both. In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterization of multifunctional fluorescent-magnetic Pt NCs.

A one-pot method using a dielectric barrier discharge microplasma reactor was employed to rapidly and conveniently prepare glutathione-protected platinum nanoclusters (GSH@PtNCs) with green fluorescence emission. Based on the inner filter effect (IFE), the synthesized GSH@PtNCs were utilized to achieve fast, sensitive and selective detection of malachite green.

The shift toward sustainable energy has fueled the development of advanced electrocatalysts to enable green fuel production and chemical synthesis. To date, no material outperforms Pt-group catalysts for key electrocatalytic reactions, necessitating advanced catalysts that minimize use of these rare and expensive constituents (i.e.

The selective hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) electrocatalyst is crucial for enhancing the performance of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) against degradation caused by reverse currents. In this study, a catalyst comprising platinum single atoms (Pt) finely tuned by tungsten nanoclusters (W) on an accordion-like nitrogen-doped carbon support (ANC) is presented. The tungsten nanoclusters, derived from phosphotungstic acid, are embedded within the carbon support, while the Pt single atoms are uniformly dispersed on its surface.
