In this work, a series of nanostructured tungsten carbide/carbon (WC/Cx) composites are in situ synthesized using a microwave heating method. The composites are used as platinum (Pt) catalyst supports for methanol oxidation in acid media. Their structure, composition and specific surface area are ch...
