Title:
VERTICALLY ALIGNED CARBON NANOTUBE ARRAYS AS ELECTRODES
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2022192064
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide electrodes that remedy numerous limitations, including limited metal storage capacities and formation of dendritic materials during operation.SOLUTION: The present disclosure pertains to electrodes that include a plurality of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes and a metal associated with the vertically aligned carbon nanotubes. The vertically aligned carbon nanotubes may be in the form of a graphene-carbon nanotube hybrid material that includes a graphene film covalently linked to the vertically aligned carbon nanotubes. The metal may become reversibly associated with the carbon nanotubes in situ during electrode operation, and lacks any dendrites or mossy aggregates. The metal may be in the form of a non-dendritic or non-mossy coating on surfaces of the vertically aligned carbon nanotubes. The metal may also be infiltrated into bundles of the vertically aligned carbon nanotubes.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1A
