Abstract: Onion-like Fullerenes (OLFs) were prepared by CVD method, and purified by nitric acid treatment. 10wt. %Pt/OLFs catalyst was prepared by impregnation-reduction method with three different loadings of formaldehyde as the reducing agent and the morphology and structure were characterized. XRD patterns showed the excessive reducer benefits the growth of Pt crystals. HRTEM images showed that Pt particles with the diameter of 2.5nm~3.5nm had well distribution in the Pt/OLFs composite. FTIR spectrum also indicated lots of functional groups existed on the surface of OLFs purified. The reducing action of formaldehyde in the process of supporting was discussed.
