Rapid and Continuous Polyol Process for Platinum Nanoparticle Synthesis Using a Single-mode Microwave Flow Reactor

Abstract Rapid and continuous synthesis of size-controlled platinum nanoparticles is achieved using a single-mode microwave flow reactor controlled with temperature feedback module. Platinum nanoparticles are synthesized within 2.8 s of residence time in glycerol and 1,3-propanediol having large dielectric dissipation factor and high solvent viscosity.
