Abstract
Platinum nanoparticles were incorporated within the pore system of ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) by impregnating the carbon with a water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsion containing dissolved platinum salt followed by reduction of the platinum ions in situ inside the carbon pore system. The procedure provides preparation of metallic nanoparticles from hydrophilic precursors inside the hydrophobic carbon support structure with simultaneous control of the maximum metal particle size. Electron tomography was used to verify the presence of platinum nanoparticles inside the carbon material.
