Carbon nanotube tower-based supercapacitor

摘要: A supercapacitor system, including (i) first and second, spaced apart planar collectors, (ii) second arrays of multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) towers or single wall (SWCNT) towers, serving as electrodes, that extend between the collectors where are grown directly on collector surfaces without deposition a catalyst binder material surfaces, (iii) porous separator module having transverse area is substantially same at least one electrode, (iv) tower functionalized to permit encourage behave hydrophilic structure, with increased surface wettability.
