Summary

Introduction

Certainly carbon nanomaterials can be engineered with a wide range of properties and in a variety of forms (such as zero-dimensional fullerene, one-dimensional carbon nanotubes, two-dimensional graphene, and three-dimensional graphite or diamond) that make them important materials for current and emerging energy and environmental technologies. Catalysis will play a vital role because there are many potential advantages by using carbon nanomaterials as catalyst supports or catalysts in comparison to other materials (e.g., metal oxides), shown as follows [3]: a.
