Abstract
We have explored size- and shape-controlled synthesis of platinum nanocrystals (Pt NCs) by systematically comparing the differential reducing performance of two competing reducing agents in a one-pot synthesis: hexadecanediol, a weak reducer, and metallic cobalt or superhydride, stronger reducers of Pt. In addition to its role as a metal reducer, Co also functions as a shape-directing agent and is incorporated into the Pt NCs, forming a PtCo alloy structure. By maintaining a constant HDD concentration and systematically increasing the Co content, the shape of the resulting NCs was found to alter from polypods, when no Co was present, to cuboctahedrons and cubes when trace amounts of Co were added, and back to polypods when Co dominated the reduction process. On the other hand, when the concentration of HDD was systematically increased (with Co kept constant), evolution from polypod morphology to prismatic/spherical/cubic NCs, followed by irregular shapes was observed. Both experimental results indicate the importance of the competitive role between the reducing agents, their concentration limits for achieving a controlled morphology, and the presence of Co as a shape-directing agent to alter the NC shape. This allows the exploration of a wide range of NC morphologies without significant modification of the synthesis recipe.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
