title: A simple route to platinum and Pt-based composite nanotubes.
abstract: Platinum (Pt) and Pt-based composite nanotubes were fabricated by a facile dipping method within alumina templates. The morphology, structure, and composition of the nanotubes were characterized by SEM, TEM, and EDX. A hydrogen sensor based on Pt/TiO2 composite nanotubes showed high hydrogen sensitivity.
