The use of polyaniline (PANI) as catalyst support for heterogeneous catalysts and their application in chemical catalysis is hitherto rather poorly known. We report the successful synthesis of highly dispersed PANI‐supported platinum catalysts (particle sizes between 1.7 and 3.7 nm as revealed by tr...
