Abstract: The fuel cell has high energy conversion efficiency and low pollutant emission. The amount of noble metal used in Direct Methanol Fuel cell (DMFC) can be decreased by the use of Platinum nanoparticle, graphene, single walled and multiwalled carbon nano tube. Thus performance of DMFC fuel cell can be increase by controlling the packing density of Pt. nano particle1. They can reduce the amount of Pt. needed. The following aspects are described in this paper: The method used to reduce the Platinum, improving the performance of fuel cell catalyst, the effect of carbon nanotube on fuel cell. We summarise the some of the result of previous studies and raise expectations for microscopic state study for the future research
