Various amounts of Pt (0.3-7 wt%) and HPW (9-49 wt%) were incorporated, and the obtained materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, chemical and thermal analyses, electron microscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption measurements and solid-state 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.", pages = "131-151(21)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/vsp/apt/2008/00000019/00000002/art00003" doi = "doi:10.1163/156855208X293790" }
