Abstract

Abstract : Unprotected colloidal nanoparticle suspensions are promising building blocks for various types of catalysts. The work featured on the Back Cover shows that exposing a Pt precursor reaction mixture at room temperature to light leads to the formation of well‐defined, unprotected Pt nanoparticles, whereas no particles are formed in the dark. This suggests that light can be used instead of thermal heat for the synthesis of unprotected Pt nanoparticles, providing a new synthetic route. More information can be found in the Communication by M. Arenz, T. Vosch et al. onpage 104 in Issue 2, 2016 (DOI:10.1002/cnma.201500118 ).
