In fact, there have been many efforts to improve lithium - ion battery or supercapacitor performance using alternative electrode materials such as carbon nanotubes and other manganese oxides.
The resulting cluster of nanotubes, fused to two palladium electrodes, acted as a transistor (Nano Letters, DOI: 10.1021 / nl050405n).
Team members sprayed carbon nanotubes onto a plastic film — two such films act as both the device's electrodes and charge collectors.
The carbon nanotubes served as one electrode and the lithium metal the other.
Laid down in thin films, randomly oriented carbon nanotubes form conductive networks that can serve as electrodes; patterned and layered films can function as sensors or transistors.

Fine - tuning becomes critically important as materials scientists test more 2 - D materials like graphene and nanotubes for use as electrodes.
The nanotubes drastically increase the surface area of the ultracapacitor electrode, allowing it to hold 20 times as much energy.
A better alternative would be thinner, softer electrodes such as carbon nanotubes, a thousandth of the diameter of regular wires.
In this application, a nanotube film with an array of electrodes can be used as an electrically configurable diffraction grating for an infrared spectrometer, allowing the wavelength of light to be scanned without moving parts.
Research at the PPPL Laboratory for Plasma Nanosynthesis develops new insight into the use of plasma to synthesize nanomaterials — particles such as carbon nanotubes that are measured in billionths of a meter, are found in everything from swimwear to electrodes and have a tensile strength, or resistance to breaking when stretched, that is stronger than steel.
