Abstract

High-density attachment and one-dimensional array Pt nanoparticles (NPs) on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to generate Pt/CNTs heterostructures are obtained via one-pot microwave polyol method. The morphology, composition of as-obtained Pt/CNTs heterostructures is characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD). The Raman spectrum and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum show the introduction of defects or functional groups on CNTs surface, which are crucial factors to assist the nucleation and growth of Pt NPs along the skeleton of CNTs.
