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/H2W04 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 di- ameters 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.展开更多
