Abstract
Slow reduction of platinum salt in soft template made by direct hexagonal mesophases leads to Pt nanoballs with hexagonal cells formed by connected nanowires. The mesophases can be doped by high concentrations of platinum (up to 0.2 M) which leads to relatively large quantities of Pt nanostructures.
