A first-principles electronic structure calculation is performed to explore stability and electronic
structure of Pt13 cluster adsorbed on carbon supports. The stability of Pt13 cluster on carbon nanotube
supports has enhanced significantly, compared with that on graphene support. Charge re-distribution among
Pt atoms takes place. Electronic structure of carbon supported-Pt cluster exhibits metallic characteristics,
similar to a Pt metal surface. ?? 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
