Purpose: The main purpose of the article is to present interesting forms of platinum at a nanometric scale. There are multiple fabrication methods of nanoparticles, nanowires and other forms of platinum, and the methods proposed in the article are simple and effective. They employ carbon nanotubes in the form of a so-called forest, manufactured by CVD methods and nanotubes dispergated (in a water or ethylene glycol solution) as templates for deposition of Pt nanoforms. Design/methodology/approach: Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) were applied for showing the structure and morphology of platinum nanoforms deposited on carbon nanotubes, and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) was used for confirming the chemical composition of the analysed structures. Findings: The microscope examinations carried out with scanning electron microscopy have shown that platinum may crystallise by assuming the form of, notably, nanoparticles, nanowires and nanocubes. The structure of carbon nanotubes covered with nanoparticles of Pt at a nanoscale could have been observed by applying high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Practical implications: Carbon nanotubes decorated with Pt nanoparticles and platinum at a nanometric scale are used as, in particular, an active layer of chemical and biochemical sensors. In addition, excellent catalytic properties of platinum are used in various industrial processes, including chemical, automotive and petroleum industry. Originality/value: Chloroplatinic acid H2PtCl6 is an input substance for producing various forms of platinum. Platinum exhibits unique physiochemical properties at a nanoscale, different than its properties at a macro scale. It was confirmed that the selected fabrication method of platinum nanoforms is effective and simple.
