The method used to synthesize the catalysts employs chemical poly merization of pyrrole with potassium hexachloroplatinate(IV) as oxidant and ZSM5 molecular sieve as a hard template removable by dissolution. ZSM5 molecular sieve used as template has the following merits: it can be easily removed, it is inexpensive and owing to micrometer size it shows a minimal aggregation. In addi tion, the use of the zeolite avoids the need for nonvolatile surfactants which may be adsorbed onto the syn thesized PPy–Pt complex spheres and i
