Abstract
The novel electrocatalysts particularly using carbon nanotubes (CNT) are reviewed, which showed higher catalytic performance compared to commercial carbon supports in H2-O2 fuel cell as well as direct methanol fuel cell. The difference in the catalytic properties probably originated from the interface nature between catalyst particles and the CNT surface.
