| Abstract | A number of methods exist for the preparation of platinum nanoparticles, which have numerous industrial applications, especially as catalysts. In this study, we compared three methods for preparing Pt particles with diameters in the range of 1–3 nm. Method 1 involves base-catalyzed reduction of Pt(IV) in ethylene glycol. Methods 2 and 3 are based on phase transfer of a Pt(IV) precursor from water to toluene containing a phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) followed by reduction by NaBH$_{4}$ and capping by a stabilizing agent. The latter two methods differ in the sequence of addition of stabilizer and reducing agent, and in the nature of the stabilizer. We compared the resulting mean particle sizes using transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. Our study included a systematic comparison of seven reaction parameters for Methods 2 and 3: the method (sequence of addition), Pt precursor, stabilizer molecule, stabilizer concentration, PTC, PTC concentration, and solvents for Pt suspension. Our data show that, both qualitatively and quantitatively by means of analysis of variance, three of these parameters are significant: method, stabilizer, and PTC. A linear regression allows for prediction of particle size based on these variables and fits the experimental data well, allowing particle size to be adjusted in the range of 1.6–2.2 nm. A gravimetric determination of the yield of the three methods found that while Methods 1 and 2 convert at least 85 % of the Pt precursor to Pt nanoparticles, for Method 3, the yield was less than 30 %. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
