“…In particular, with natural hydrocarbon‐based fuel reserves such as oil and gas rapidly running out, and possible fears over the long‐term safety and economic viability of nuclear technologies and their associated short‐term risks, developing effective catalysts for hydrogen, ethanol, or methanol oxidation or oxygen reduction catalysis for fuel cell and battery technologies is a very active area of research 12–15. 17, 19, 41, 46, 48, 49, 51, 57, 62, 67, 72–75, 80, 86, 87 We shall therefore briefly discuss fuel cell and battery applications of CNT‐supported metal nanoparticles catalysts separately in section 3.5.…”

Carbon nanotubes are one of the most intensively explored nanostructured materials. In particular, carbon nanotubes are unique and ideal templates onto which to immobilize nanoparticles allowing the construction of designed nanoarchitectures that are extremely attractive as supports for heterogeneous catalysts, for use in fuel cells, and in related technologies that exploit the inherent 'smallness' and hollow characteristics of the nanoparticles. Here we overview the recent developments in this area by exploring the various techniques in which nanotubes can be functionalized with metals and other nanoparticles and explore the diverse applications of the resulting materials.

“…Furthermore, CNT films can also be used for the direct generation of electrical energy. For that to happen, they are used as components of Direct Fuel Cells (DFCs), which commonly exploit methanol as the fuel [114][115][116][117]. In such a case, they are referred to as Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFCs).…”

This perspective article describes the application opportunities of carbon nanotube (CNT) films for the energy sector. Up to date progress in this regard is illustrated with representative examples of a wide range of energy management and transformation studies employing CNT ensembles. Firstly, this paper features an overview of how such macroscopic networks from nanocarbon can be produced. Then, the capabilities for their application in specific energy-related scenarios are described. Among the highlighted cases are conductive coatings, charge storage devices, thermal interface materials, and actuators. The selected examples demonstrate how electrical, thermal, radiant, and mechanical energy can be converted from one form to another using such formulations based on CNTs. The article is concluded with a future outlook, which anticipates the next steps which the research community will take to bring these concepts closer to implementation.

“…Several methods have been proposed for the deposition of metal (or bi-metal) NPs on carbon nanotubes. [19][20][21][22][23] Electrochemical techniques are particularly attractive for the electrodeposition of metallic nanostructures on the surface of the electrode not for mass preparation in the bulk solution. In this method, various experimental parameters including solution composition, potential and time of deposition can be manipulated to control the nucleation and growth rate of the metal NPs.…”

Mixtures of gold-platinum nanoparticles (Au-PtNPs) are fabricated consecutively on a multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by the electrodeposition method. The surface morphology and nature of the hybrid film (Au-PtNPs/MWCNT) deposited on glassy carbon electrodes is characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. The modified electrode is used as a new and sensitive electrochemical sensor for the voltammetric determination of cefotaxime (CFX). The electrochemical behavior of CFX is investigated on the surface of the modified electrode using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The results of voltammetric studies exhibited a considerable improvement in the oxidation peak current of CFX compared to glassy carbon electrodes individually coated with MWCNT or Au-PtNPs. Under the optimized conditions, the modified electrode showed a wide linear dynamic range of 0.004-10.0 μM with a detection limit of 1.0 nM for the voltammetric determination of CFX. The modified electrode was successfully applied for the accurate determination of trace amounts of CFX in pharmaceutical and clinical preparations.
