Preparation of Pt Nanosheets Using Graphene Oxide
Pt nanosheets were prepared by impregnating graphene oxide powder using a drop of an aqueous H2PtCl6 solution in cyclohexane, followed by heating at 453K in an autoclave. The H2PtCl6 captured in the interlayers between stacked graphene oxide sheets was reduced to Pt metal during heating to form Pt nanosheets.
