A new RF sputtering system installed with a hexagonal-barrel was developed for modifying the surfaces of powdery materials. The validity of this system was examined for surface coating of three kinds of Al2O3powders with different grain shapes and sizes. It was found that the surfaces of powder grains could be uniformly coated with Pt layers, regardless of their shapes and sizes. It should be noticed that the hexagonal barrel made it possible to form a uniform Pt layer over a Al2O3grain of 20μm diameter, whereas a cylindrical barrel failed to made a uniform layer on the same sample. Cyclic voltammograms (CVs) of the Pt-coated Al2O3samples prepared by use of the hexagonal barrel gave the same CV of bulky Pt, indicating that electrochemical characteristics of the Pt films are identical with those of Pt metal.
