Abstract

Abstract: Tungsten oxide (WO₃) nanorods, which were used to load platinum (Pt) nanoparticles, were investigated. H₂WO₄ nanorods with diameters from 10 to 50 nm were obtained when tungsten precursor was added into homogenous double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNT) and ethylene glycol (EG) solution. Nanosized rod-like WO₃ were achieved after calcination of the DWCNT/H₂WO₄ composite. Sphere-like Pt nanoparticles were loaded on the surface of the nanorods by EG in-situ reduction. Pt particles were isolated by DWCNT/WO₃ nanorods and secondary accumulation could be prevented when Pt particles appeared in the DWCNT/WO₃ nanorod/EG dispersion solution. Therefore, Pt nanoparticles with mean diameters of 2-6 nm could be obtained. Pt-deposited on DWCNT/WO₃ nanorods exhibited high electrochemical activity, which could facilitate the low-cost mass production of Pt catalyst.
