Abstract: The preparation for depositing Pt on TiO2 nanotubes was investigated. XPS and HRTEM measurements showed that, firstly, the nanosize Pt particles deposited on powdered TiO2 consisted of PtO2 and Pt(OH)2, then, in the course of TiO2 nanotube formation the Pt nanopar-ticles were well-distributed on the external surface of TiO2 nanotubes. The results indicate that TiO2 nanotubes may be a candidate for Pt-catalyst carrier materials.

Key words: TiO2 nanotube, high-resolution electron microscope (HRTEM), Pt nanoparticle
