It is found that the dendritic Pt NPs (10-150 nm) are composed of tiny Pt nanocrystals, which nucleate and grow through the introduced smaller Pt seeds with diameters of 3-5 nm. Further investigation shows that the dendritic Pt nanostructures display excellent catalytic performance in an aqueous-phase aromatic ketone hydrogenation reaction, including: (i) acetophenone conversion rate of 〉 90%, with smaller dendritic Pt NPs (10-46 nm) offering a higher conversion efficiency; (ii) high chemoselectivity toward carbonyl group (90.6%-91.5%), e.g., the selectivity to l-phenylethanol is -90.1% with nearly 100% acetophenone conversion for 10 nm dendritic Pt NPs within 60 rain, under mild reaction conditions (20 ℃, 1.5 bar H2 pressure, and 1.5 tool% catalyst). The high catalytic activity, selectivity and stability of the dendritic Pt nanostructures under the organic solvent-free conditions make them promising for many potential applications in green catalytic conversion of hydrophilic biomass derived compounds.展开更多
