20080241695 | CARBON NANOTUBE COMPOSITE ELECTRODE MATERIAL, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME AND ELECTRODE ADOPTING THE SAME - The present invention relates to a carbon nanotube composite electrode material, a method for manufacturing the same and an electrode including the carbon nanotube composite material. The carbon nanotube electrode material includes carbon fibers and carbon nanotubes. The carbon fibers constitute a network structure. The carbon nanotubes are wrapped around and adhering to the carbon fibers. Because a diameter of the carbon fibers is about 100 times larger than that of the carbon nanotubes, gaps between the carbon fibers are also larger than that between the carbon nanotubes such that electrolytes can easily penetrate into the carbon fibers and come into contact with all or nearly all of the available surface area of the carbon nanotubes. In other words, an effective surface area of the carbon nanotubes is improved, and capacity of electrode material is also improved. | 10-02-2008 |
