Abstract
We present a facile one-pot preparation route for the production of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-Pt nanoparticle composites in an aqueous solution at room temperature by using proton beam irradiation process without the addition of any reducing reagents. We utilized hexade-cyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-stabilized pristine and thiol-functionalized MWCNTs for the synthesis of MWCNT-Pt nanoparticle composites and compared the deposition trends of the platinum nanoparticles onto the surfaces of pristine MWCNTs and surface-modified MWCNTs, respectively. Thiolated MWCNTs were densely and uniformly decorated with Pt nanoparticles while pristine MWCNTs were not. The Pt nanostructures on the surfaces of MWCNTs were spherical, and the average diameter was in the range of ~2 nm. Also, two different metal precursors, H2PtCl6 and Na2PtCl6, were used to find any distinguishable decoration patterns on the surface-modified MWCNTs; however, the deposition patterns were observed to be not very different.
