Additional information
Previous attempts at growing carbon nanotube (CNT) networks were confined to growth on non-conducting substrates. Here it is shown that CNT entangled networks which are integrated into a highly conducting carbon layer were grown on a range of substrates including glassy carbon and metal foils. A continuous flexible CNT electrode with high surface area and conductivity was produced, with a stable battery capacity of 572 mA h g–1. This discovery provides a direct route for the generation of large-scale flexible CNT electrode materials, with highly desirable electrical properties. This article was featured on the cover of Advanced Materials.
