Abstract
Platinum and palladium are important catalysts for a wide variety of industrial processes. With the increasing demands of these materials, the development of high-performance catalysts is an important area of research, and as a result, shape control synthesis has become one of the leading research focuses. This minireview surveys the different approaches in solution-phase synthesis that have been successfully adopted for achieving shaped platinum and palladium nanoparticles that are enclosed with specific crystallographic facets. In addition, catalytic studies of the shaped nanoparticles are highlighted, in which promising results have been reported in terms of enhanced activity and selectivity. The future outlook discusses the aspects in synthesis and catalysis to be considered for the development of highly efficient and effective catalysts.
