Modern methods for external decoration of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with elemental metal nanoparticles are reviewed. Carbon nanotubes can be decorated by indirect and direct physicochemical and physical methods mainly with noble and transition metals. The fabricated nanocomposites possess a series of useful applications in the fields of fuel cells, chemo/biosensors, solar cells, drug delivery, catalysis, and hydrogen storage. The first principal calculations and other related theoretical studies on these metal-CNTs nanohybrids are discussed.
