“…There are various methods for Pt deposition on titanium/titania substrates and these include chemical/hydrothermal/photochemical methods [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ] (usually employed in the case of nanoparticle supports) and atomic layer deposition, ALD [ 42 , 47 , 51 ] as well as electrodeposition methods [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 48 ] (preferred for Ti and TNT substrates). An alternative method for deposition on Ti and TNT supports is that of spontaneous galvanic deposition of Pt from Pt(IV) complex solutions onto freshly etched/reduced Ti and TNTs.…”
