The role and importance of a hydrogen economy is given within the energetic and environmental problems facing mankind. The electrocatalytic activity of metals is quoted as well as physical and chemical pathways to improve the performance of electrode materials. Some characteristics of advanced nano-structured hypo-hyper d-electrocatalysts deposited on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are shown. Non-platinum electrocata-lysts approach the activity of the conventional Pt/Vulcan XC-72, while one containing only 20% Pt in the metallic phase exceeds it by far.
