NANOSTRUCTURED ELECTRODE FOR ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE

摘要

In one embodiment, an electrode is provided. The electrode includes a current collector comprising aluminum with an aluminum carbide layer on at least one surface, on which at least one layer of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is disposed. The electrode may comprise vertically-aligned, horizontally-aligned, or nonaligned (e.g., tangled or clustered) CNTs. The electrode may comprise compressed CNTs. The electrode may comprise single-walled, double-walled, or multiwalled CNTs. The electrode may comprise multiple layers of CNTs.
