TitleHigh power density supercapacitors using locally aligned carbon nanotube electrodes Abstract A new form of thin films formed by multi-walled carbon nanotubes exhibiting high packing density and local alignment were fabricated using a highly concentrated colloidal suspension of carbon nanotubes. Electrical double layer capacitors built from these film electrodes exhibited a close to rectangular cyclic voltammogram even at a high scan rate of 1000 mV s −1 , and produced very high specific power density of about 30 kW kg −1 , ideal for surge-power delivery applications. The preparation procedure is very simple, and does not require any binders. It has potential for highly efficient manufacturing of high power density supercapacitors and other similar electronic devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
