An electroless deposition method (i.e., the conventional impregnation method) has been developed to grow highly dispersing Pt nanoparticles for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). Pt nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 5 nm to 25 nm were synthesized on carbon nanotubes. This electrode preparation method has the advantages such as the ease of preparation and a good control for lowering the platinum-loading.
