A novel seeding growth route to synthesize uniform Pt clusters within mesoporous silica by non-aqueous electroless deposition
Uniform Pt nanoclusters with diameters around 6-7 nm have been synthesized within mesochannels of SBA-15 by non-aqueous electroless deposition. The result shows that non-aqueous electroless deposition combined with in situ reduction is an efficient method for preparing well-confined noble metal nanoclusters without post heat-treatment.
