Carbon Nanotube Transparent Electrode

High-performance transparent and stretchable all-solid supercapacitors based on highly aligned carbon nanotube sheets

By using highly aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets of excellent optical transmittance and mechanical stretchability as both the current collector and active electrode, high-performance transparent and stretchable all-solid supercapacitors with a good stability were developed. A transmittance up to 75% at the wavelength of 550 nm was achieved for a supercapacitor made from a cross-over assembl...

High density, vertically-aligned carbon nanotube membranes.

A method is presented to prepare high-density, vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VA-CNT) membranes. The CNT arrays were prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and the arrays were collapsed into dense membranes by capillary-forces due to solvent evaporation. The average space between the CNTs after shrinkage was approximately 3 nm, which is comparable to the pore size of the CNTs. Thus, ...

High Sensitivity Electrochemical Cholesterol Sensor Utilizing a Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube Electrode with Electropolymerized Enzyme Immobilization

In this report, a new cholesterol sensor is developed based on a vertically aligned CNT electrode with two-step electrochemical polymerized enzyme immobilization. Vertically aligned CNTs are selectively grown on a 1 mm(2) window of gold coated SiO(2)/Si substrate by thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with gravity effect and water-assisted etching. CNTs are then simultaneously functionalize...

A Free-Standing Sulfur/Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotube Electrode for High-Performance Lithium/Sulfur Batteries

A free-standing sulfur/nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube (S/N-CNT) composite prepared via a simple solution method was first studied as a cathode material for lithium/sulfur batteries. By taking advantage of the self-weaving behavior of N-CNT, binders and current collectors are rendered unnecessary in the cathode, thereby simplifying its manufacturing and increasing the sulfur weight ratio in the ...
