A certain type of catalyst uses cubical platinum nanoparticles to maximise its active surface area. One such cubic nanoparticle is shown in the diagram below.

Cubical platinum nanoparticle with a height of 2.8 nm

The surface area of a cube is given by the formula:

surface area=(length of side)2×6\text{surface area} = (\text{length of side})^2 \times 6surface area=(length of side)2×6

Determine the total surface area of this platinum nanocube. Give your final answer to 2 significant figures.
