Abstract
Hollow nanostructures of platinum have been synthesized by reducing PtCl2 with alcohol in the presence of selenium nanowires or colloids. The Se template could be removed by soaking the resultant Se@Pt nanostructures in hydrazine or by heating them to 200-250 degrees C. The size and wall thickness of the polycrystalline hollow nanostructures could be controlled by varying the template, reaction time, and the concentration of PtCl2.
