Abstract
Platinum-based catalytic materials have garnered increased attention, especially in the shape and size control of faceted materials for catalysis. While there has been a rapid increase in the number of reports of successful preparations in this field, a fundamental understanding of controlled growth towards catalytic material design is essential for future implementation and broad application.
Authors offer an overview of recent findings reported since 2009, focusing on methods for shape control as well as the effects of exposed surface facets on select catalytic reactions.
