The fuel cell has the nature of high energy conversion efficiency and low pollutant emission. Carbon nanotubes used for fuel cells can decrease the needs of noble metals which are used for catalyst and improve the performance of fuel cells. The application of carbon nanotubes in fuel cells is summarized and discussed. The following aspects are described in this paper: the method used to reduce the platinum, the effect of carbon nanotubes on the fuel cell, improving the performance of fuel cell catalysts, the interaction between catalyst and carbon nanotube support, and the synthetic conditions of carbon nanotube supported catalyst. We summarize some of the results of previous studies and raise expectations for the microscopic state study of carbon nanotubes in the future.

“…Therefore, the use of various metals may have an impact on the catalytic activity [86]. As a result, as Pt particles become smaller, they have a better performance under the condition of smaller Pt loading [88]. For example, Ni added to the PtRu catalyst, with the support of MWCNTs, can improve the electrochemical surface of the catalyst.…”

Summary A carbon nanotube (CNT) is a nanoscale cylindrical tube formed from a single atomic layer of carbon atoms. CNTs are known to possess several unique characteristics, including high thermal and electrical conductivity, superior mechanical strength and chemical stability, as well as a high surface area. These characteristics, in addition to the fundamental advantages of being a carbon material, cause CNTs to be a favorable candidate for fuel cell applications. In this current assessment, past findings in relation to CNTs are summarized. Additionally, future prospects for microscopic study of CNTs are also presented.

“…We have therefore chosen to pursue this idea. Fortunately, the weak bonding between the carbonaceous materials and the substrate could be resolved by in-situ techniques [24][25][26]. To the best of our knowledge, no researches on in-situ growth of binary carbonaceous materials including 1D CNTs and 2D graphene simultaneously on conductive substrates as the transparent CEs for DSSCs have been reported so far.…”
