Here, platinum nanoparticles were synthesized on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in one step under the irradiation of visible light without any extra additives except ethylene glycol (EG) as the reducing agent and stabilizer, and Pt/MWCNTs composites were successfully prepared. The catalytic performance of Pt/MWCNTs was studied in the reduction of p-nitrophenol (p-NP). The morphology and crystal structure of as-synthesized materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Visible light irradiation promotes the hydrolysis of a[PtCl₄]^2- precursor in EG aqueous solution. By the electronic effect of the metal interface, the reduction of platinum precursors makes the formation of the uniformly dispersed Pt metal ultra-small particles with an average of 2.1 nm size. The as-prepared Pt/MWCNTs effectively catalyzed the reduction of p-NP to p-aminophenol (p-AP) with NaBH₄, exhibiting a high catalytic performance with an apparent rate constant of 0.25 min^-1. Furthermore, high reusability without significant activity loss presents that Pt/MWCNTs prepared can be an excellent and stable catalyst. The experimental results prove that besides traditional light irradiation methods, e.g. ultraviolet, the proper utilization of visible light is also a very effective method for preparing platinum metal catalysts and the morphology control can be achieved in some simple ways rather than complex reaction conditions.
