Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT), which act as a support for Pt catalysts, were chemically functionalized with in situ generation of diazonium ions from 4 different types of anilines prior to Pt deposition. The carbon nanotube-supported Pt (Pt/MWNT) nanocomposites were then prepared by reduction...
