The results suggest that the sole carbon monoxide flow at ambient pressure can enable the formation of binary Pt-M nanocrystals,...

Summary:We explore the possibility of preparation of Pt 3 M (M = Fe, Ni and Co) nanocubes using carbon monoxide as an alternative protocol under different experimental conditions. The results suggest that the sole carbon monoxide flow at ambient pressure can enable the formation of binary Pt-M nanocrystals, but it is inadequate to facilitate the formation of Pt 3 M nanocubes in the given system under specified conditions. CO can derive Pt-M nanocrystals but is inadequate to facilitate cubic Pt 3 M in the reported system (M = Fe, Ni, Co).
