The results show that the deposited platinum crystals in the atmosphere of hydrogen or nitrogen have a small size and a homogeneous distribution on the surface of the carbon nanotubes. The pretreatment would decrease the platinum particles on the carbon nanotubes significantly. %K carbon nanotubes %K scanning electron microscopy %K transmission electron microscopy %K platinum %U http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF02884657
