Carbon nanotube supported Pt nano-catalyst was prepared by facile glow discharge plasma reduction operated at room temperature. The low-temperature plasma reduced Pt nanoparticles exhibited uniform size distribution and an average particle size of around 2.3 nm. Electrochemical measurements also pro...
