Abstract

A soft chemical route is described for the preparation of platinum nanorods and self-assemblies over photochemically reduced polyoxometalate (silicotungstate) containing composite films. Transmission electron microscopy shows that the diameters of the platinum nanorods are around 55–60 nm. The formation of platinum nanorods on solid–liquid interface reactions was explained on the basis of single site growth mechanism and diffusion limitation aggregation process.
