Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/28/2018 -- Carbon nanotubes have recently emerged as an important nanomaterial with enhanced properties such as high electrical & thermal conductivity, aspect ratio, and toughness. They are considered the ideal candidate for electronic devices, biosensor hydrogen storage cells, electrostatic discharge, and electrical shielding applications. To generate electricity, carbon nanotubes can be used in solar cells, electrochemical capacitors, photo switching energy storage units, and bio-batteries. They are preferred in solar cells owing to their light weight, extraordinary electrical conductivity, and light absorption properties. Carbon nanotubes are found to be effective in electrochemical capacitors as they can provide a strongly entangled network which allows metal oxide deposition. They are used in photo switching energy storage units because of their ability to store and use solar energy. Thanks to advancements in the medical technology, implantable biomedical devices such as biocathodes employ carbon nanotubes in their design.
