“…Among these techniques, CVD is considered as the most promising technique because it is cost-effective, easily scalable and able to produce high quality CNTs in large quantities. In this technique, a hydrocarbon feedstock, such as acetylene, ethylene, or methane is decomposed into carbon and hydrogen by the introduction of a supported metal catalyst that acts as a promoter for the growth of CNTs [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Presently, intensive research efforts focusing on the highly selective synthesis of high purity CNTs are underway.…”

“…The discovery of CNTs has since stimulated the systematic study of the highly selective synthesis of high purity CNTs [10][11][12][13] as well as of their mass production [47] for industrial applications. Currently, experimental and theoretical studies on the functionalization of CNTs for specific applications are being conducted.…”

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which were discovered in 199, have emerged as one of the most distinctive classes of carbon-allotrope materials. They exhibit various fascinating physical, electronic and mechanical properties, which have stimulated significant interest among researchers. CNT researchers have focused on exploring and deploying CNTs in the area of synthesis and implementing them in numerous applications, such as nanoelectronic devices, compositereinforcement material, catalyst supports, etc. Their combination of light weight, nanoscale diameter, mesoporous structure, high aspect ratio, high thermal conductivity and high stability render them as effective support materials. This review focuses on the applications of CNTs combined with various metal-based particles in the field of catalysis. The effects of the incorporation of CNTs into catalyst systems are discussed in terms of the catalytic activity, reaction selectivity and reaction pathway. The remarkable properties of CNTs that fulfil the requirements of support catalysts are also discussed. Patents relevant to the topic have been discussed.
