Abstract

Multiwalled CNT entangled networks integrated into a highly conducting carbon layer can be grown on a range of substrates including glassy carbon and metal foils. A continuous flexible CNT electrode with high surface area and conductivity is produced, with a stable battery capacity of 572 mAh g(-1). This discovery provides a direct route for the generation of large-scale flexible CNT electrode materials.
