Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted extensive research
interest due to their unique structure and properties such as high surface area, extraordinary
mechanical properties, high electronic conductivity and chemical stability. These remarkable
characteristics of CNTs, along with the inherent benefits of a carbon material, make CNTs
promising candidates for fuel cell applications. In this review, we summarize and compare the
recent research and development on CNT-based fuel cells, particularly focussing on CNTs as a
catalytic support for enhanced electro-catalytic activity, metal-free electro-catalysts for the
oxygen reduction reaction and fillers in the polymer electrolyte membrane in fuel cells.
