Morphology of Two-Component Nanocatalysts Based on Platinum and Organoboron Nanoparticles

The morphology of two-component nanocatalysts formed by organoboron nanoparticles and platinum nanoparticles deposited on the surface of highly orientated pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) was determined by scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The electron structure and conductivity of the nanoparticles of the coatings were determined by scanning tunneling spectroscopy.
