The morphology of Pt nanoparticles can be well controlled by introduction of halide ions during electrochemical deposition of platinum. Spherical, flake and cubic Pt nanoparticles were obtained on conductive substrates by the addition of chloride, bromide and iodide into electrodeposition system, respectively. The origin of the halide-dependent morphology of Pt nanoparticles was discussed. The electrocatalytic properties of Pt nanoparticles were investigated and it was found that the introduction of halide ions significantly lowers the catalytic activity of Pt nanoparticles toward methanol electrooxidation. The catalytic activity of Pt nanoparticles can be greatly improved by an electrochemical oxidation procedure in which the adsorbed halide ions can be partially or totally removed from the surface of Pt nanoparticles.
