Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotube Film as an Efficient Conductive Network for Si‐Based Anodes (Adv. Funct. Mater. 26/2023)

Strong, conductive carbon nanotube fibers as efficient hole collectors

We present the photovoltaic properties of heterojunctions made from single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) fibers and n-type silicon wafers. The use of the opaque SWNT fiber allows photo-generated holes to transport along the axis direction of the fiber. The heterojunction solar cells show conversion efficiencies of up to 3.1% (actual) and 10.6% (nominal) at AM1.5 condition. In addition, the use ...

Conductive Carbon Nanotube Composite Microprobes

Because of their outstanding electrical and mechanical properties, including high stiffness and mechanical resilience, ballistic electron transport at micrometer scales, and high current-carrying capacity, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) could enable a new class of electrical elements ranging from transistors to interconnects. However, realizing the properties of individual CNTs in assemblies of CNTs h...

Superhydrophobic conductive carbon nanotube coatings for steel.

We report the synthesis of superhydrophobic coatings for steel using carbon nanotube (CNT)-mesh structures. The CNT coating maintains its structural integrity and superhydrophobicity even after exposure to extreme thermal stresses and has excellent thermal and electrical properties. The coating can also be reinforced by optimally impregnating the CNT-mesh structure with cross-linked polymers wi...
