Use of carbon nanotubes with good conductivity properties, it can be used as a cathode or instead of the conductive polymer material as a conductive medium to produce high energy miniature batteries. These high energy miniature batteries will not only small, high energy, and life is very long, is used as a portable computer’s power supply and automotive electronic ignition best choice.
If pressed into sheets and carbon nanotubes as a capacitor plate, it can be made into high-energy capacitor. The small amount of carbon nanotubes added to other materials, but also can significantly improve the conductive material, for example, adding a certain amount of carbon nanotubes in the polymer material, polymer material can make the resistivity decreases three orders of magnitude.
Carbon nanotube reinforced composite material using the properties of carbon nanotubes that can produce a lot of excellent properties of the composite material. Such as carbon nanotubes reinforced plastic material excellent mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, shielding radio waves. Make use of cement matrix carbon nanotube composites has good impact resistance, anti-static, anti-wear, high stability, easy to impact on the environment. Carbon nanotubes and metal combine to form a metal matrix composite. Such materials have high strength, high modulus, high temperature, thermal expansion coefficient and strong thermal resistance performance.
