Spherical and cubic Pt nanoparticles and spherical, cubic and disk-shaped Co nanocrystals are produced by reduction of Pt2+-ion and decomposition of organometallic reagents in a hot solvent in presence of the surfactant molecules respectively. This displays the ability to control crystal growth and produce a range of nanoparticle shapes in the case of two different metallic elements.
