Progress on synthesis of Pt/CNTs electro-catalyst for proton exchange membrane fuel cell

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) had been paid much attention as catalyst support due to the high electrochemical stability and large specific surface area. Fabrication of electrocatalyst for proton exchange membrane fuel cell with carbon nanotubes as sup-port had been investigated by many researchers and shown promising performances. In this paper, synthetic methods of Pt/CNTs catalyst and impact factors were reviewed and discussed in detail. At the same time, some reasonable advices were put forward for the future studies.
