NOVEL DESIGN OF FUNCTIONALIZED CARBON NANOTUBE ELECTRODES AND MEMBRANES FOR FUEL CELLS AND ENERGY STORAGE

A novel electrochemical method to generate nm-scale bubbles at the tips of CNTs can temporarily block the membrane. A 92% blocking efficiency is achieved when the bubbles are stabilized in 30-60 nm diameter „wells‟ at the tips of CNTs. This well is formed by the electrochemical oxidation of the cond...
